I've always been interested in visualizing the inner workings of algorithms or other opaque processes. This project visualizes the 'solution space' of a Rubik's cube. Each row is a step in the solver's progression, and each column is a sub-face (there are 9 sub-faces across 6 primary faces). I also thought it would be interesting to compare how this visual looks for a human solve vs. a computer solver. This visual ultimately does not lend itself to a meaningful comparison due to how noisy it can be.

I worked on various line interpolation options, visual design adjustments, as well as pen-plotting some of the solves. I am most compelled by the filtered versions where you only see one face at a time, and not all the solves at once.
