Special Interest
CubeForge
A speedcuber's workshop for ages 15–18 — a practice timer with inspection and Ao5/Ao12/PB stats, a 3-D algorithm explorer, 16 Concept kits (notation → CFOP → BLD → variants → FMC), and a text-forward coach that walks real speedcubing decisions. On-device; works signed-out.
#4457c9 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
CubeForge's adapted-DN-S cast (ages 15–18, realistic speedcuber personas — NO mascots, NO illustrations, per R-OLDER-TEEN-DN-ADAPTED) each embody one speedsolving primitive; the case-narrative coach frames a real decision → consequence → reflect. Mentor Solvane sets inspection/planning and growth-over-ego.
Basalt
Efficient cross planning — a minimal, planned base
Kairo
F2L look-ahead — tracking the next pair
Cardan
OLL — pattern → algorithm recognition
Cyclo
PLL — permutation cycles → algorithm
Solvane
(Mentor) — inspection/planning; growth over ego
Roan
Alternative systems (Roux/ZZ) — more than one correct method
Mnema
Blindfolded — letter-pair memory & spatial encoding
Torsa
Statistics & deliberate practice — read your own data
Manifold
Variants — generalise the method to big/non-cubic puzzles
Opta
Fewest moves — optimality & patient search
What's inside
Learning goal
A speedcuber's workshop for ages 15–18 — a practice timer with inspection and Ao5/Ao12/PB stats, a 3-D algorithm explorer, 16 Concept kits (notation → CFOP → BLD → variants → FMC), and a text-forward coach that walks real speedcubing decisions. On-device; works signed-out.
Question kits
16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
Mentored by Solvane — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How CubeForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ COPPA compliant under the 2026 FTC amendments
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
CubeForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
