RubikGL is an interactive 3D Rubik's Cube simulator built with OpenGL and CMake. It features customizable cube sizes, face rotations, scrambling, and camera controls. Made to learn more about computer graphics programming using C++ and OpenGL.

• Customizable Cube Size: Generate a Rubik's Cube of any size.
• Face Rotation: Interactively rotate the cube's faces.
• Scrambling: Randomly scramble the cube.
• Camera Controls: Rotate and zoom the camera to view the cube from different perspectives.
• User Interface: Integrated with ImGui for an intuitive user interface.

• CMake (version 3.10 or higher)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/thomascsigai/RubikGL.git
   cd RubikGL

2. Generate Visual Studio project files:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..

3. Open the generated solution file:

   • Navigate to the build directory.
   • Open RubikGL.sln with Visual Studio.

4. Build the project:

   • Set the build configuration to Release or Debug.
   • Build project ALL_BUILD (In Solution explorer Right-click on ALL_BUILD / Build).

1. Set RubikGL as startup project:

   • In Solution explorer Right-click on RubikGL / Set as startup project

2. Run the app:

   • Run the RubikGL project (F5)
   • Use the interface to customize the cube, rotate faces, scramble the cube, and adjust the camera.

Controls are shown in the controls window, and the cube can be changed in the cube settings window. You may have to move the windows a bit to see all options clearly.
