I nice algorithm for finding optimal cube solution: http://kociemba.org/cube.htm. In Download section you can find an implementation, along with source in C.

Reminds of the machine built to solve a Rubik cube. The Cube Stormer II (ha): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d0LfkIut2M

Here's another video of using a webcam to solve a Rubik's Cube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaW1dmqRE0o

I just had a flashback to programming a Rubik's cube solver in QBASIC 15+ years ago.

It's nice to see some progression in what's considered introductory: very good stuff, well done :)

Introductory CS class?

[unclesaamm → teddyknox]

Yeah, I'm curious about that too. What sort of insane intro CS class is this?

[idoescompooters → unclesaamm]

Well, it is Carnegie Mellon. CMU is a pretty great college. But, then again, it's not too hard of a program to code. Just takes a little bit of thinking and OpenCV experience.

[xerophtye → teddyknox]

Yeah still confused about that part :/

[camus → teddyknox]

at the end of mine , all i was able to do is program a tic tac toe game, I guess kids are smarter today.
