Futuro Cube Suite
A modern replacement for the original Rubik's Futuro Cube Suite. Write scripts, compile them, try them in a simulator, arrange the cube's menus, add sounds and talk to the cube's shell, on today's computers.
Free. Connects to the cube with its USB cable. Nothing is uploaded anywhere but your cube.
No cube to hand? Run any script on a 3D cube: tilt it with the mouse, or on a phone tilt the phone itself, and tap a face to tap it. Record a GIF to show off your game.
Nine games and the original SDK examples, plus games shared by other cube owners. Try them, read the code, or install them.
A step-by-step tutorial takes you from one lit square to your first game, then on to walkers and trails. Edit with highlighting, autocomplete and help for every cube function.
Drag scripts onto the blue, green, red and white menus and install them all at once. Back up the scripts on your cube and restore them later.
Type text and the built-in robot voice speaks it, or use audio files and your own recordings, for game names and effects.
Type commands to the cube and watch your script's debug output live.
Made something for your cube? Share it, and everyone using the Suite can find it in the gallery's Community section, try it in the simulator and install it on their own cube.
Shared games are MIT licensed so others can learn from them and remix them. Browse them all in the community library on GitHub.
Both versions are the same app. The web app needs a browser that can talk to USB serial devices (Web Serial); the desktop app works everywhere and needs no particular browser.

Version 0.1.0. These apps aren't signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so your computer will warn you the first time. Here's what to expect. From version 0.5.0, the app tells you when a newer version is out.
You only need to do this once.
chmod +x FuturoCubeSuite-*.AppImage, then run it.dialout group once:
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER, then log out and back in.sudo apt install libfuse2.
On Ubuntu 24.04, if it closes with a sandbox error, run it with --no-sandbox.The Rubik's Futuro Cube was made by Princip. Its original companion software, RFC Suite, no longer runs on modern systems. This project brings it back: the cube's USB protocol was re-implemented from scratch and the open-source Pawn compiler was built for the browser, so it produces the same scripts the cube expects.
Read the full story: what the Suite does and how the cube's USB protocol, compiler and simulator were rebuilt.
To learn the cube's scripting language, read the Futuro Cube SDK manual.
Built with the Pawn compiler (Apache 2.0) and eSpeak NG for the robot voice (GPLv3; source at that link, licence in app/lib/ESPEAK-LICENSE.txt).
