Huge Rubik's cube solve: 65,536 layers

This is a simulation of a 65536x65536 Rubik’s cube. A new world record size for a simulated cube.
A note to new programmers: I started this project as a way to challenge myself with learning new skills. I believe the best way to learn is to pick a project that is interesting to you and then never give up until you've succeeded. The programming language doesn't matter as long as you are learning and having fun.
View the source code here github.com/shellpuppy/rcube
The algorithm is identical to the one I used in the previous record. However, this implementation is much faster so it no longer takes months to solve.
A standard 3x3 cube is 57mm per side. That means a single tile is 19mm wide. Therefore, a 65535 cube is 1245.284 meters on each side!
I added a section showing the scrambling process and how we know that a cube has been scrambled enough.
I produced the animated bar graphs using R - www.r-project.org/
The algorithm first solves the centers (99.994% of this cube is centers) using a commutator that works extremely well for large cubes. It is able to move many pieces in a single row from one face to another without disturbing the other faces.
After solving each center it solves edges. I made sure to slow down the video this time to show the edges being solved with better detail.
The technique I used to solve the edges brings pairs of edges into the front face, then exchanges pieces from the left side to right. If needed it will flip edge pieces so they face the one direction. It also uses a standard algorithm for fixing parity issues.

Child: I'm gonna mix all the colors of the rainbow: Brown: *surprise*

[@BaddeJimme]

I think you could speed up your edge pairing for the first 8 pairs with Free Slicing. The idea is that you don't need to keep the centres solved, you can slice them horizontally however you like and delay fixing them until 8 edges are done. Swapping edges with the top and bottom layer is done by turning a side face, turning the top or bottom, then turning the side back so the centres remain easily solvable. The main benefit of this is that you do slightly more than 9/8 slice turns per edge piece solved, while the beginner's method will require at least 2 slice turns per edge piece solved. Also, you can pack your cube much better than 1 tile per byte. Since 6*6*6=216, you can squeeze 3 tiles into a single byte.

[@shellpuppy]

You are absolutely right about being able to pack the bits better. In fact I did that originally so that I could store 2 tiles per byte which meant I used half the memory. The problem is you trade off speed for that memory and it just wasn't worth the 2x slowdown. Also, thanks for the tips! simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time_tradeoff

You should go to one part of any of the edges and hold it and go to the other side of where you are on the cube.

Nah, it's still the size of a pretty big mountain or so.... now if the cube had quadruple the number of pieces per side.... then we'd be at planetary sizes, or half as big as the moon at the very least
