Hi
I just just added new modes to my xdino puzzle. It is the Rubik's
Dinosaur Puzzle recently mentioned. (A cube with diagonal X cuts.)
In addition to the Period 3 movement it now has a Period 2 movement with
the faces cut up like:
___
|\ /|
| X |
|/ \|
---
as opposed to just
\ /
X
/ \
In the Period 3 movement the cube turns around a corner while in Period 2
movement it turns around the center of an edge.

Of course if you want to make it harder there is a "Both" mode where
you can have both turning modes at once.

I would like to thank Derek Bosch <bosch@sgi.com> for suggesting the
Period 2 movement -> Bosch's Cube :)

I spent a good 10 minutes trying to solve Bosch's Cube and did
not get anywhere. The Period 3 seems easier. Be the first in the
Universe to solve it. :)

All those who have X should be able to run it. There are many other
puzzles in the collection as well.

Any problems with the compilation or bugs ... let me know.

Cheers,
