About this website

The main purpose of this project was to display our knowledge of javascript. To do this i have implemented several javascript functions including:

• A Randomized logo: The logo at the top will be randomized everytime the page is refreshed. It will also randomize when your click on it, and when it is clicked the image will never be the same twice in a row.
  
  
• A Font Size Changer: At the top right there are two buttons to change the font size of the content area. These buttons have a minimum size, and a maximum size so that the font will never become impossible to read. These buttons also have Javascript Rollovers.
  
  
• Expanding Sub-Menus: Some of the navigations links will show additional links when they are clicked on. The navigation button will remain orange when the submenu is open to show the user that there is a submenu available.
  
  
• XML Products Page
  
  
• JavaScript Photo Gallery
  
  
• Random Cube Animation: When you hit solve this will randomize the colour of all four squares and it will stop when all four colours are the same. It will tell you how many times it had to randomize to solve it.
  

What is Speed Cubing?

Speedcubing (also known as speedsolving or spelled as two words, speed cubing or speed-cubing) is the activity of solving a Rubik's Cube or related puzzle as quickly as possible. Here, solving is defined as performing a series of moves that transforms an incomplete cube into a state where each of the cube's six faces is one single, solid color.

Regular cubes are sold commercially in variations of 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and 5x5x5. Variations of the puzzle have been designed with as many as 11 layers, but the largest denomination cube that has been physically produced is a 7x7x7. The current world record for a single solve of the 3x3x3 stands at 9.18 seconds, set by Edouard Chambon at the Murcia Open competition (Spain) on February 23, 2008.

Speedcubing is the most prominent activity of the international Rubik's Cube community. Members come together to hold competitions, work to develop new solving methods, and seek to perfect their technique. As a part of the community, puzzle builders try to invent new forms of permutation puzzles.
