Cubing Question: Are there other notations for cube moves that include middle layer rotations and/or using different colors as top/right/front? (lemmy.world)

No picture today, just a question. Like, my brain doesn't work well when I gotta keep the center squares fixed in place, I'm almost always rotating the cube around.

Adding dice dots to it totally throws off the conventional algorithms, but in a good way. Often I'll use green or blue as my top side, but other times I'll use white or yellow as my top side. It just depends on the puzzle.

And yes I'm a wrist turner.

Oh, one other detail about my modded cube..

Which side which color is on absolutely matters! Note that the only two edge pieces with dots/holes are on the yellow side (6). So the nifty dice dot patterns don't work right if you don't have the cube oriented right.
