[edit] Advanced

• Petrus - A novel blocks approach, by 1981 Swedish champion Lars Petrus.
• Fridrich - A layers approach supporting fast recognition, by 1982 Czech champion Jessica Fridrich.
• Waterman - A highly optimized corners-first approach.
• Roux - A fast method optimized for hand grips.
• Zborowski/Bruchem - The ultimate method for a memory master, using an enormous set of 300 algorithms (excluding symetric cases).
• Heise - An efficient method that is based on understanding the fundamental principles of the cube, rather than memorization.

[edit] Solvers

• Cube Explorer - By Herbert Kociemba, uses a sophisticated and powerful algorithm that quickly finds solutions to cube positions in just 19 moves on average.
• ACube - By Josef Jelinek. Based on the algorithm of Cube Explorer, adds the very useful function to search for solutions to partially defined cubes.

[edit] Simulators

• Rubik's Cube Simulator An online cube simulator with high scores and multi-player head-to-head races.
• Gabbasoft Offline cube simulator, with support up to 20x20.
