Preferences

Various preferences can be set which will hold across simulation sessions.   These parameters are accessed through the Edit/Preferences menu choice and are stored in the registry.

The preference parameter values can be reset to defaults by pressing the "Defaults" button, then pressing the "OK" button.

Parameters:
Maximum Mouse Angle
Minimum Mouse Length
Swap Left/Right Mouse Button Rotate Functions
Animation Detail
Animation Delay


Maximum Mouse Angle

This parameter controls how close the direction you move the mouse has to be (in degrees) from the direction of the side of the cube piece parallel to the direction you're trying to rotate.   Mouse vectors with an angle difference higher than this parameter will be ignored.


Minimum Mouse Length

This parameter determines the minimum distance you must move the mouse with the right button down to attempt to rotate a cube section.    This distance is in pixels and is an XY vector length.    Mouse moves with lengths shorter than this parameter will be ignored.


Swap Left/Right Mouse Button Rotate Functions

Check this checkbox to assign overall cube rotate to the right mouse button and section rotate to the left mouse button.



Animation Detail

This parameter controls how many steps are rendered in a 90 degree section rotation.   Set this to 0 or 1 for no animation.


Animation Delay

Programs the millisecond delay the computer waits between drawing incremental rotations.    Set this to 0 for no delay (i.e. to do the fastest possible animation.).
