The \rubikrotation\ package is an extension for the rubikcube package. It provides the \RubikRotation command which processes on-the-fly a sequence of Rubik rotation moves (using the Perl script rubikrotation.pl) and returns the new Rubik cube state. -- These packages are located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rubik/ More information will some day appear at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/rubik http://www.ctan.org/pkg/rubikcube http://www.ctan.org/pkg/rubikrotation (i.e. when another nasty bug afflicting our website will have been squashed.)
