Cubing Forge — Smart Cube & Accessibility Update
This update brings improvements based on player feedback, with clearer smart-cube setup and more personalised Free Cubing guidance.
- Rubik’s Connect X fix: resolved an issue where the cube could connect without updating the virtual cube’s moves.
- Improved cube state repair: setup now explains colour sync versus internal-state reset. Supported resets include a solved-cube illustration, player confirmation and a
device-state verification step.
- Expanded reset support: added reset paths for compatible GoCube/Rubik’s cubes and legacy GAN Gen1. Unsupported connections clearly explain their limitations.
- Additional optional gyro support: more compatible smart cubes can follow physical orientation when usable sensor data is available.
- Guidance without gyro: Free Cubing and Campaign Chapter 2 now offer “I’ve rotated the cube” for instructed whole-cube rotations, allowing players to continue with
checked face turns.
- Shared orientation preference: choose White-Up or Yellow-Up in Gameplay Settings or Smart Cube Setup. The preview follows your choice. New settings default to White-
Up / Green-Front / Yellow-Down, while existing preferences are preserved.
- Simpler setup navigation: Open Smart Cube Setup now opens setup directly, with connection information available separately under Details / Status.
- Back-button fixes: Back to Main Menu now goes directly home from settings submenus. Back to Settings returns to the settings categories.
- Colour customisation: choose Standard, Color Vision or custom sticker colours, with editable names for each custom colour.
- Palette-aware Free Cubing: the Beginner Guide, CFOP Assistant and hold reminders now use your selected colour names while preserving your current guide plan and cube
state.
- UI polish: improved orientation previews, corrected overlapping setup controls and improved handling of long colour names.
- Apply/Discard fix: edits made after applying settings now remain unsaved until the next Apply and can be discarded correctly.
- Updated Windows and Linux builds.
Compatibility notes: New reset and gyro paths still require physical testing on additional models. QiYi/X-Man and MoYu internal reset remains unavailable. Internal reset
requires an already-solved physical cube. Campaign and Library lesson wording still uses standard colour names.
Thank you to everyone sharing tests, screenshots and feedback!
