That brings me to constructing individual patters on a cube. People do
this, and you can find such patterns on the web.  This is the first step
of a simple, non-refined design algorithm. Since I cannot memorize
things well, I have developed an algorithm to meet these needs of as
little rote as possible.

For a minimum design, you need 8 cubes. 27 cubes is better. You can go
higher, but it becomes more expensive.

The second easy step of the unrefined design algorithm is to do just
that. And yes, it IS a puzzle in itself. I call it the color control.
Color control makes the  design algorithm three times as complex as the
solution algorithm. But it has to be done, otherwise yoou have no
design.

I found out that some of the links in http://cube.misto.cz will give you
error messages. You see, I got these files on the web and they have
migrated. The most serious such migration occurred in a file, where I
have 3 designs. I asked the owner, Jiri Fridrich, to put those on the
web, before I obtained the cz* site. They have changed his server. Look
at http://www.binghamton.edu/fridrich/hana1.html and click on Jarmila
design. It might give you some tips on whaat you want.

Noi, not offhand. But the designs' interior has not been neglected.You
can create a "design within a design. Or you can set a certain criterion
and investigate the design's sytmmetry. Rhis is one if the subproblems
of the design problem. 
The design priblem has ramifications in fuelds in science and math. I
know it sounds strange, but it spans fractal geometry and parity.
