Features for Fewest Moves - NISS about roofpig HOT 7 OPEN

This isn't quite what you asked for, but I made a NISS solution visualizing web page that I hope can be a good start.

It's at http://birdflu.lar5.com/fmc and you can enter a NISS format solution and an (optional) scramble, and get an animation of each step.

A few premade solutions I grabbed from http://fmcsolves.cubing.net/?tag=niss:

This is really interesting. Visualizing NISS solutions is an unsolved problem, AFAIK, and makes the sport very hard to follow.

Let me look into some ideas for a few days!

That really nice good start. Great job.

Do you intend to add the Nissualizer page in roofpig repository or create another one?

What's missing for it to be useful?

I'm working on a database of all LL algs (http://birdflu.lar5.com/), and that code isn't public yet. I put the Nissualizer there, since it's easy.

@larspetrus
Sugestions:

• put solution in a textarea. each line will be a step displayed in roofpig.
• let white on top, green on front or offer a option for choosing orientation

what about ?
https://run.plnkr.co/plunks/r1WWZt/ (edit)

maybe in showing normal/inversed pair of cubes before each step.
or just a one cube that step was done.
