I am working on making a program to solve the rubik's cube. I want to know how and which programming language should I learn so I could interact with real motors which will be used to turn the cube's sides according to algorithm.

    You can use pretty much any language you want. The more important question is: What motors do you want to use and with what hardware do do you intend to control them (some Arduino platform, Lego Mindstorms, some PC interface card, ...)? – MikeMB Feb 03 '16 at 18:39

Solving a Rubiks cube would require you to have a camera set up, and some video processing going on; it's a dive straight into one of the hardest software topics. If you've never worked with physical devices from software before, you should start with something a bit simpler than a Rubiks cube solver.

Normally you get the motors and microcontroller first, and use the language that the microcontroller supports. Have a look at Arduino projects on Google, they have a whole range from beginner to expert, including Rubiks cube solvers.

  • Thank you for the advice. I'll go with Arduino projects first, to get the insight of it all. PS- I am new to stack Overflow. My post got 2 downvotes. Am I doing something wrong? I'll appreciate it if someone could just tell me so I can improve in my future questions. – Napstablook Feb 04 '16 at 18:59
  • I think the expectation of any question on Stack Overflow is at least this: The question, what you have tried, what you were expecting, and what you got. – Andrew Williamson Feb 04 '16 at 19:00
  • okay, I'll try to improve in future posts. Thanks for the advice and answer. :) – Napstablook Feb 04 '16 at 19:01
  • No problem. It's quite off-putting, when you get down voted for asking an unclear question simply because you are not an expert in that field... I've only asked a total of 4 questions on S.O, because I always imagine someone saying I could have found the answer on Google :P – Andrew Williamson Feb 04 '16 at 19:06
