Abstract Details

2014, Bachelor of Science, Ashland University, Mathematics/Computer Science.
The Rubik's Cube is a common 3-D combination puzzle known and loved by people of all ages. The mathematics of Rubik's Cubes has been explored in great detail ever since the beginning of their production in the 1980's. The first part of this project consisted of research on the mathematics of the Rubik's Cube and how that is used for various solutions to the cube. Next, focus was put on making an Android application to solve Rubik's Cubes given a random cube or given user input. For this, research was conducted on the use of Java programming language, Android Development libraries, and the Android Development Tool for Eclipse. Overall, this thesis discusses the knowledge gained on Rubik's Cube theory, Rubik's Cube Algorithms, modifying algorithms to fit specific needs, Java programming language, Android development, Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) Application Programming Interface (API), Eclipse Android Development Tools, and testing and debugging with Eclipse as well as programming methodologies for the application based on problems encountered and their relative solutions during development.
