Take your second option, but use color-changing LEDs and put rocker switches in the twisty sides that respond to pressure and make the colors rotate as they would on a real Rubik's cube, without the sides actually moving. That would be weird. |

Throw in an acceleration sensor or something and have a cube that scrambles into challenges under program control after you, I don't know, bonk it against the table or something. |

[Yeah, you can use that if you like, but you don't have to.] |

Interesting idea, but it would require the ability to change each square between 6 different colors. |
|
| |
May I use your idea to make a new idea? |
|

I think I've just seen something similar online (link if I can find it again) |
|

Nope, couldn't find it... But it was on the BBC website a video covering the "Last 10 days" or something - I think it had a separate game associated with it - something that involved pressing a button on the LED that was lit, or something. |

Damn. I'd been planning to write a similar idea with miniature screens for a while but never got around to it. It would make for a challenge for those lovely people that could complete them in seconds, if the cube qould randomise the pattern if it wasn't completed in a given number of seconds. |

As for the second option, it shouldn't be impossible to cover the surface of a Rubiks cube with flat OLED panels, just in case you weren't yet concerned enough about the cost. |
|

I dare say 54 tricolour RGB LEDs would be a lot cheaper than six OLED screens. The processor required to drive them would be a lot cheaper too. |
