This a C + OpenGL implementation of a puzzle game [1] created by Paul Scott called Cube.

[2] You have a grid of 16 squares, six of which are blue; on one square rests a cube. Your move is to use the arrow keys to roll the cube through 90 degrees so that it moves to an adjacent square. If you roll the cube on to a blue square, the blue square is picked up on one face of the cube; if you roll a blue face of the cube on to a non-blue square, the blueness is put down again. In general, whenever you roll the cube, the two faces that come into contact swap colours. Your job is to get all six blue squares on to the six faces of the cube at the same time. Count your moves and try to do it in as few as possible.

Controls:

The arrow keys are used to roll the cube on its square grid in the four cardinal directions.

Compilation:

To compile this code, use:

gcc glCube.c -lGL -lGLU -lglut -o glCube

And execute with:
