Yahoo! Widget Engine

Yahoo! Widget Engine is a fun little desktop game that brings the classic Rubik's Cube right to your screen. In this game, your goal is to match all the squares by color using different algorithms. It’s super simple to control—just use your mouse to move the cube tiles around, and you can click a button to scramble them up and start fresh!

Getting Started with Yahoo! Widget Engine

If you already have Yahoo! Widget Engine installed, setting up this game is a breeze. When you first open it, the cube will have all its colors matched perfectly. So, just scramble those tiles and dive in!

View All Sides of the Cube

When you’re playing with the Rubik's Cube widget, you'll notice three mirrors on each side—the left, right, and bottom. This helps you see all sides at once so you can plan your next moves carefully.

Interactive Controls for Easy Gameplay

You can easily manipulate the rows by clicking on the arrow buttons displayed around the cube. Want to reset or scramble again? No problem! You’ll also see three smaller images of the cube that let you change your view and focus on different sides.

Customize Your Cube Experience

The app lets you tweak some settings as well. You can keep your cube looking brand new or make it appear worn out. Plus, there’s an option to keep those mirrors visible even when you're not actively playing.

User-Friendly Settings Options

The settings are pretty standard for most Yahoo! Widget Engine gadgets. You can decide whether you want your frame to stay on top of other windows or sit below them. You also have options to ignore mouse movements and adjust how transparent you'd like the frame to be.

A Simple Yet Fun Game!

In short, this widget is a straightforward and entertaining way to play with a Rubik's Cube right from your desktop. Just remember that it won’t get any new updates since Yahoo! Widget Engine was discontinued a while back.
