@MDXF Nice, it was a great answer lol.

Oh I see, derp.

I got invited here too? shrug

R3D1R1 sets the top face to 1.

@KamilDrakari Oh I see. Creative!

Add using System;, reset outputCharacter at the end of the for loop (or move declaration into the loop), and does the program handle characters that are not multiples of 9? I'll have to check your golfed code from earlier when I'm not on a phone. Otherwise, good job!

One idea is to use the notepad and bitwise functions, but that can only take you so far

You'd come across problems where you need to store 4 variables, or a whole string

Oh phone didn't show linked post

@MDXF How what?

Hmm

I need to do more challenges with the variant to see what it needs. It definitely can use some more support for arrays lol

A second notepad would introduce the need for a third, so in the end, relying on expandable memory (the cube?) is most effective

The hard part is not directly adding variables and such.

@MDXF I created the "set face" and "get face index value" specifically to expand on memory while also adding to something else, like arithematic or algorithms

@MDXF That's one of the huge changes I made in my variant. It makes it confusing, lol.

Here's an answer using a variant of the language. I wonder if this is actually possible with native Cubically, though.

I really think I should move this code over to a fork...

That way you'd be able to use unicode characters in ASCII-only programs.

Also, if you aren't using \ , I suggest making it useful for escape sequences, like \30 represents the character 0

@MDXF What's the bounty?

@MDXF Was Kamil's bounty only 100?

I was going to have it so if you specified a layer and pulled a value from the notepad, it'd treat the notepad as a tape and pull the nth value from the notepad, where n is the specified layer.

Nevermind, it was dumb.

Oh I just had a genius idea... I'll implement it in my variant and see if it's too ridiculous.

I was thinking so too.

Alright, have fun!

I don't want to use a new set of numbers

Mostly I just can't think of syntax for it.

Preferably the second, but the first would be more functional.

I'm trying to think of a way to select the value from face n at (x, y), or the sum of the squares on face n in row/column j

If you need an idea on how to do that x_x

My codepage file just treats ' as the character 3

@MDXF Alright

But that's your choice. My variant does it at least xD

@MDXF I think it'd be cool so that you could keep with normal Rubik's notation

@MDXF If you aren't using apostrophes yet, may I recommend using apostrophes as an alias of 3? It'd let you do stuff like R'DR, assuming those commands implicitly are called with 1.

Then again, my phone is really outdated.

@MDXF I noticed that the double-struck numbers aren't even rendered on my iphone xD

@MDXF Yeah, but also digits and circled numbers

I gotta go, but that's the start of it

@MDXF You'll see what I have in mind.

@MDXF I'm rewriting the language and reorganizing the codepage, as well as changing a lot of operators. I'll show you when I'm done, and hopefully that gives you some ideas.

I'm gonna make a spinoff of the language with my ideas.

I don't know.

Hmm

It'd be neat to use the cube to store memory, but you also need it to provide constant values

Why not change Pi to "an arbitrary input stream of digits" or "an arbitrary substring of pi, starting after the decimal point" or something? Most languages will have trouble taking 200M digits of input as a string and especially as a number. Keep in mind that 200M bytes is 200MB!
