The NxNxN-Rubik algorithm consists of several stages:

: The standard "speed-solving" method, often used in repositories that aim to mimic human-style solving.

Standard Rubik's Cube moves use Singmaster notation: (Up), D (Down), R (Right), L (Left), F (Front), and B (Back).For an cube, this notation expands to handle multi-layer turns:

For each edge type (positions around the cube), we bring two matching edge pieces together and replace with a solved edge:

Python implementations typically rely on a few standard algorithmic approaches:

: It handles various cube sizes and relies on standard cube notation (U, D, F, B, R, L) for instructions.

The rubiks-cube-NxNxN-solver repository uses large precomputed lookup tables (pruning tables) combined with IDA (Iterative Deepening A )** search. For large cubes (e.g., 7x7x7), the tables can require several gigabytes of RAM. However, the author specifically optimized the solver to run on a LEGO Mindstorms EV3—which has only 64 MB of RAM—by using a more memory‑efficient scheme and generating smaller tables. This trade‑off yields slightly longer solve times but allows the code to run on extremely constrained hardware.
