Pretty Rubik´s Cube patterns with algorithms

Are you tired of solving your Rubik´s Cube always the same way and you are looking for a new challenge? Try to reproduce or invent some pretty patterns! In this section I´m going to present a gallery of pretty Rubik´s Cube patterns with algorithms, preview images, and a small animation on how to form them. Find out how to make the famous Superflip, the checkerboard, the snake patterns, the cross, the cube in a cube and many other nice motives. If you've got bored solving the Rubik's Cube always the same way and you're looking for a new challenge try to reach one of these patterns without watching the algorithms supplied.

You don't even have to know the Rubik´s notation to be able to read the letters in the algorithms because I have attached a short animation for each scramble. If you don´t have a Magic Cube go ahead and use the online Rubik´s Cube solver or use the cube simulator where you can apply rotations or even solve the cube online.

How to undo a scramble?

Apply the inverse rotations of the backward algorithm to revert the cube to the solved cube (or the initial position).
Let's take a short algorithm for the demonstration, the Cross: U F B’ L2 U2 L2 F’ B U2 L2 U
Written backwards: U L2 U2 B F’ L2 U2 L2 B’ F U
Replace the moves with the inverse rotations: U’ L2 U2 B’ F L2 U2 L2 B F’ U’
– this will undo the Cross algorithm. Note that double rotations, marked with 2 are the inverse rotations of themselves because it doesn't matter in which direction you perform a half turn. Use this method to calculate the reverse moves for any pattern in the list.
