So, I stumbled upon this thing called “juli” and “kocemba” while trying to speed up my Rubik’s Cube solves. It’s all about some fancy algorithm, and honestly, it looked pretty intimidating at first. But I was determined to figure it out, so here’s how my little adventure went.
The Deep Dive Begins
First, I tried to understand what this Kociemba algorithm even is. Turns out, it’s a super-efficient way to solve the cube, breaking it down into two phases. Sounds cool, right? But the math behind it? Yikes. I’m no math whiz, so I skipped most of that and focused on finding tools that already used it.
That’s where “juli” kept popping up. Seems that it is some libraries that implemented Kociemba’s two-phase algorithm. I have tried a lot of them,but most of them need some pro knowledge to use.
Wrestling with Code
I fumbled around, trying different commands, and getting a bunch of errors. It was like trying to speak a language I didn’t know.I almost gave up, to be honest.
A Glimmer of Hope
Finally, after some serious Googling and a lot of trial and error, I found a combination of commands that actually worked. I managed to install the thing! It took all of the time from my morning.
- First, I installed some thing they call “package”. I don’t know the details.
- Then, I kept trying and got nothing useful.
- I almost burned my computer!
Still a Long Way to Go
Okay, so I haven’t actually solved a cube faster yet. I am just keep trying and maybe I need a better computer? I’m still messing around, feeding it different cube states, and trying to make sense of the output. But hey, at least I got something running! That’s a win in my book. It’s a slow process, but I’m feeling a little bit smarter (and a lot more frustrated) than I was yesterday. Maybe one day I’ll be a speedcubing champion… or at least be able to solve the cube without peeling off the stickers.
