Cube Color Trainer helps you memorize the color order of the cube. My Story: While working to improve my f2l solving speed, I constantly messed up the white cross. I knew opposite color pairs like blue/green and red/orange, but struggled to remember if red was to the right of blue, and so on. So I scratched my own itch and created Cube Color Trainer for this single purpose. How It Works: Imagine holding a real cube and focusing on its center piece. Based on the current top and bottom colors, your task is to identify the center piece colors to the left or right. You do this by trying to hammer the color order into your head, using any of the techniques offered. Free: Since I’m not sure if anyone else but me will find this app useful, I’m releasing it for free for now. Features: * Multiple Memorization Technique modes: Choose from 'Colors Only', 'Make up a Story' and 'Letters'. * Customizable Settings: Adjust top and bottom color combination, direction, number of color clues, sound and more. * Simple Memorization Game: Practice and test your skills with a simple memorizationgame.
