KF> What is the name of the program? Where did you get it?

This is what came with it in .W

Hi All!!!
I present to your attention my new
game VIRTUAL CUBE RUBIK 2000!
The program is an emulator
an ordinary Rubik's Cube, unfolded
on planes...
On the right side of the screen in the playing field is drawn
we show the sides of the cube as they are located on
real cube; numbers indicate numbers
sides, and the points are 'top' of the sides!
In order to rotate any hundred-
Ron needs to put a point on the chosen
cell (of this side) and press the button:
up, down, left, right...
A little about the control keys:
Cursor right: P,p,8,CS+8
Cursor left: O, o, 5, CS+5
Cursor up: Q,q,7,CS+7
Cursor down: A,a,6,CS+6
Fire : M,m,N,n,0,Space,Delete
Speed selection: Enter
ScreenSaver: ExtendMeanings of buttons on the control panel:
AM - Auto-mixing (random);
:: - Restoring colors in order;
X - Exit the game;
@ - Off/on music.
ScreenSaver shows which, like,
The Computer is in a mood! ;-)
(It also starts after 5-min 'stagnation')
Bye!
MM>> I solve a real cube in three minutes, but in a virtual one
MM>> unlikely, because when you turn the side, the colors do not change!!!
KF> And this may be so intended.
Then this is not a Rubik's cube, but something else...
Sincerely, Max Melnikov... aka HighLander... aka Uncle Maximka...
