- 1] Brief History of Q-Bix -- I was rummaging through some boxes of my old stuff
- and I found my old and battered Rubik's Cube (I got it when they first came
- out in 1980, that's how old it is). About after 20 minutes of tring to solve
- it, I booted up my computer to see if I could make one. 5 days later Q-Bix
- was finished.

- direction the portion of the Cube will twist to.
-
- -- At the Bottom Right of the screen is a 'Reset' button. It is used to set the
- Cube back to normal (Solved).
-
