Introduce pseudorandom balancing into scrambling in case of the two Dinos (from now on, the more times a particular (ax,layer) combination has been chosen already in the scrambling sequence, the less likely it is to be chosen next).Fix Dino6 - isSolved(). Sadly, it cannot be the geeneric function - it needs to be another special case.
Convert both Dinos to the new, unified scrambling method.
Finally remove cubit creation from the implementation classes and move it to the TwistyObject.
Move 1) bandaged 3x3 2) normals cubes 3) octahedrons 4) both dinos to the new cubit creation scheme.
Important step towards making the implementation of an individual puzzle code-free (i.e. data-only): move the 'MeshBase[] mMeshes' variable from the individual classes to the parent TwistyObject.
Convert the Ivy corner cubit to the new, 'universal' cubit creation method.
This forces deep changes to 'createRoundSolid' and the underlying 'MeshPolygon' class to make them support arbitrary Polygon 'centers of face convexity'.
Reason: the faces of this cubit are concave and such default 'center of face convexity' (which by default used to be (0,0)) turned to lie outside the face - which produces strange visual artifacts.
Move the TwistyObject.retCubePosition() to the solver.
Standarize drawing stickers of a twisty puzzle. From now on, there's no 'sticker drawing' code in the individual classes, only some constants.
Convert the last 'special' case, the Rex edge sticker, to the generic sticker mechanism.
Generalize FactorySticker - make it possible to draw stickers whose sides are curved.Convert the Ivy to use this new functionality.
Correct the dino mesh to eliminate the visible seams.
Make it possible for an object to have different 'cuts' along each of its axis.
Make it possible for an object to have different 'basicAngles' along each of its axis.
Remove the need for RowChances.
Fix solved state detection of the Dino4
Simplify.
Objects: tidy up some repeated code.
New Cubit Engine: add adjustable centers.
Convert the Dino and one of the Skewb's cubits to the new engine.
Convert the first object, the Cube, to the new Cubit-creating engine.
Move Factories to the 'helpers' package.
Change the automatic scramble API in the TwistyObject - in preparation for automatic scrambles in the Bandaged Objects.
Change the Cubit center from a Static3D to a float[].The point: now we can have more than one center, and bandaged objects need more than one, because in this way they are going to fill up their RotationRow bitmaps.
Add Gigaminx dmesh.
Beginnings of Megaminx & Gigaminx
Make the color scheme more standard.
Fixes for the Rex Cube (mostly works now)
Preparation for the Object Info popup: add the name, inventor, complexity info to each object.
Make the texture multi-row: avoid the maximum texture size.
Progress with Skewb familty; separate StickerFactory class.
Spearate the concept of number of layers of an object and its size.In case of the Skewb family, this is no longer the same (Master Skewb has 3 layers but it's twice bigger than the 2-layered Skewb)
Objects must explicitly provide a list of offsets specifying where the cut planes are (rather than just a BASIC_STEP - the width of the layer - which is insufficient in case of objects which have layers of vastly different width, like the Master Skewb)
Beginnings of support for any-sized Skewb.
CubitFactory: unify creating MeshPolygon bands.
- after some time using it, request an App review- some tweaking for the way the objects look (set internal_color to something slightly lighter than pure black, round the corners of the stickers better)- set internal_node ratio to 1.42, this way the objects never get cut
Minor.
Simplify drawing textures.
Add a CubitFactory and convert all objects to use it. Biggest change is thr Pyramiinx which now uses a lattice of Octahedrons and Tetrahedrons, just like the Diamond.
Progress with the Diamond. Everything working except for the isSolved(): turns out the center cubits can end up rotated along the face by multitudes of 120 degrees.
Progress with the Diamond. Everything working, expect one thing: half of the faces are upside down, and computing offset doesn't work on those faces properly.
Rename some classes.
