..^U:BRAIN. C U B I K.. B Y PIERRE, REAL AND RENAUD BERGERON.. I CAN HEAR THE HUE AND CRY RIGHT.NOW -- "WHAT? A RUBIK'S CUBE.PROGRAM? I THOUG HT YOU SAID THAT.THIS WAS ONE SIMULATION THAT BECOMES.MORE AWKWARD WHEN COMPUTER IZED?".. YES, I SAID THAT, BECAUSE EV ERY.RUBIK'S CUBE PROGRAM I'VE SEEN HAS.A TTEMPTED TO PUT THE CUBE ON SCREEN.FOR Y OU TO SOLVE. I'VE SEEN THEM,.AND I'VE R EJECTED THEM. AFTER ALL,.YOUR COMPUTER IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE.YOUR LIFE EASIER, N' EST-CE PAS?... WELL, IT DIDN'T TAKE L ONG TO SEE.THAT THE BERGERON BOYS' CUBIK PROGRAM.WAS JUST THE OPPOSITE OF EVERY OTHER.CUBE PROGRAM -- IT SOLVES THE CUBE .FOR YOU. WITH THIS PROGRAM YOU CAN.TAK E THAT OLD, HALF-SOLVED CUBE OUT OF.THE CLOSET, STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND PUT.IT ON YOUR DESK WHERE IT BELONGS... OF COUR SE THERE ARE ALWAYS THOSE.NERDY WISEGUYS WHO COULD SOLVE THEM.WAY BACK WHEN AND THEY MAY SCOFF AT.MY EXCITEMENT, BUT WHO PAYS ANY.ATTENTION TO THOSE GUYS ANYWAY ? I'M.TALKING ABOUT A SOLVED CUBE ON MY .DESK, FIGURED OUT BY ME...AND MY.TRUSTY COMMODORE. OKAY, OKAY, SOLVED.BY MY CO MMODORE.... ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TEL L THE.PROGRAM WHAT YOUR CUBE LOOKS LIKE AND.IT TAKES YOU, ONE STEP AT A TIME, TO .THE SOLUTION, WHERE ALL FACES ARE ONE.S OLID COLOR... THERE ARE ARROWS THAT M AKE IT.CLEAR HOW TO ENTER YOUR CUBE INTO THE.PROGRAM. THEN ALL SIX SIDES OF THE .CUBE ARE SHOWN, LAID OUT TWO-.DIMENSION ALLY. A SQUARE SHOWS YOU.WHICH 'FACE' T O ROTATE, AND AN ARROW.SHOWS YOU WHICH D IRECTION TO ROTATE.IT. YOU'LL ALWAYS KE EP THE SAME FACE.TOWARDS YOU SO IT'S PRE TTY EASY TO.KEEP STRAIGHT.... A FEW I NTERESTING THINGS ABOUT.THE COMPUTER MEN TALITY OCCURRED TO ME.AS I USED CUBIK. IT TOOK AROUND 150.MOVES TO SOLVE IT THE FIRST TIME I.TRIED IT WITH MY JUMBLED C UBE. THEN.I MADE THREE RANDOM ROTATIONS TO GET.IT MIXED UP AGAIN. CUBIK, THERE FORE,.SHOULD HAVE ONLY REQUIRED THREE MO VES.TO SOLVE IT. THAT'S HOW MANY IT WOU LD.TAKE MOST HUMANS, EVEN CUBE-TYROS.LIK E ME... HOWEVER, CUBIK REQUIRED OVER 100.MOVES TO SOLVE IT AGAIN. APPARENTLY .IT WORKS BY BRUTE FORCE AND DOESN'T.'AN ALYZE' AS WELL AS A HUMAN CAN..YET IT CA N ALWAYS SOLVE IT EVENTUALLY,.AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE.THE CUBE (BY M YSELF)... IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS (AGAI N):.SOME JOBS ARE BETTER DONE BY THE.HUM AN BRAIN, AND OTHERS ARE BETTER.DONE BY THE COMPUTER BRAIN... THERE IS ANOTHE R FEATURE TO THIS.PROGRAM THAT I FEEL IS TERRIFIC..CUBIK IS BILINGUAL. THE BERG ERON.BOYS, RENAUD PERE, ET PIERRE ET REA L.FRERES, HAVE THOUGHTFULLY INCLUDED.PRO MPTS IN FRENCH AND ENGLISH. SINCE.BASIC IS IN ENGLISH, SO MANY OF US IN.THE STA TES HAVE BECOME CHAUVINISTIC.AND NEVER E VEN CONSIDER THE FACT THAT.C-64S AND C-1 28S ARE POPULAR ALL OVER.THE WORLD, PART ICULARLY IN CANADA,.GERMANY, FRANCE AND THE MIDDLE EAST.... I GOT A KICK OUT OF USING THIS.PROGRAM IN THE FRENCH MODE , EVEN.THOUGH MY HIGH SCHOOL FRENCH IS.R ATHER OXIDIZED. SINCE THE PROMPTS.ARE O BVIOUS, IT'S NOT LIKE WALKING.INTO A TOT ALLY STRANGE LAND...
