Qwen3.7-Max: Three.js Electronic Rubik's Cube and 3D Physics Interaction Prototype Prompt

One-sentence takeaway

The official team verified Qwen3.7-Max's capability to implement complete Three.js 3D electronic Rubik's Cube rendering, mouse drag layer-rotation animations, and state machine solving within a single HTML architecture via end-to-end prompts.

Use cases

• Suitable tasks: Single-page Web 3D interactive prototype development, Three.js / WebGL physical rendering, geometric transformations, and discrete state-machine programming.

• Unsuitable tasks: Heavyweight MMORPG games relying on complex backend state synchronization, or engineering software requiring high-precision CAD industrial model imports.

• Applicable model versions: qwen3.7-max.

• Applicable clients, Agents, or APIs: Qwen Studio, Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, Claude Code, Cursor.

• Recommended reasoning level and parameters: Enable Thinking mode (high level) to ensure 3D spatial matrix transformations and raycasting logic are deduced correctly in a single pass.

3D electronic Rubik's Cube single-file prototype generation prompt

Please implement a fully functional 3D electronic Rubik's Cube (Rubik's Cube) web prototype using HTML5 + Three.js + OrbitControls.

The following technical and interaction requirements must be met:
1. Geometry construction and rendering:
   - Build a standard 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube composed of 27 independent cubelets (Cubelet) ;
   - Each cubelet features standard 6-color faces (white, yellow, red, orange, blue, green) , with inner non-visible faces rendered using a dark gray material;
   - Use ambient light paired with directional light, with materials featuring appropriate specular highlights and shadow textures.

2. Interaction and rotation physics mechanism:
   - Viewport control: Support right-click or background dragging to freely rotate the global perspective;
   - Raycasting (Raycasting) : Support left-click to pick the contact point and drag direction on the cube's faces;
   - Layer rotation: Automatically determine the Rubik's Cube slice to rotate (Slice: the 9 cubelets corresponding to the X/Y/Z axes) based on the picked surface normal and drag vector;
   - Smooth animation: Rotations must render a 90-degree rotation animation via an easing function (such as requestAnimationFrame + TWEEN or smooth interpolation) , prohibiting conflicting inputs during the animation;
   - State reset after rotation: After each layer rotation completes, correctly update the actual global spatial positions and rotation matrices of all 27 cubelets (maintaining decoupled parent-child node hierarchy) .

3. Auxiliary features and UI:
   - Provide a clean floating control panel containing: "Scramble (Scramble) " and "Reset (Reset) " buttons;
   - The scramble feature must execute 20 random legal rotations accompanied by a rapid, coherent animation demonstration.

4. Delivery constraints:
   - Consolidate all code into a single, complete HTML file (importing dependencies like Three.js via CDN) , running directly upon double-clicking in a browser without relying on any local build pipeline.

Test/workflow steps

1. Feed the above prompt into the Qwen3.7-Max endpoint, enabling chain-of-thought reasoning to derive 3D spatial quaternions and hierarchy-decoupling matrices.

2. Receive the generated complete HTML code and save it as rubiks_cube_demo.html.

3. Open the file in a real Chrome browser and perform multi-dimensional interaction acceptance:

   • Check the 6-color face configuration and lighting textures;

   • Test picking any face with the mouse and dragging to verify whether slice rotation animations are smooth without mesh tearing;

   • Execute continuous scrambling and step-by-step restoration to verify whether matrix resets remain stable after rotations;

   • Check the console (Console) for NaN matrices or WebGL rendering errors.

Original evidence and data

• Tongyi Lab and Alibaba Cloud officially published a real machine demonstration video on social media showcasing the electronic Rubik's Cube generated in a single pass by Qwen3.7-Max based on this prompt.

• The video demonstrates the model's closed-loop code generation capabilities when handling discrete geometric tasks such as complex 3D spatial coordinate transformations (Local Coordinate to World Coordinate) , raycasting normal determination, and easing animation control.

Applicability boundaries

• Single-pass generation relies on CDN script availability; in network-restricted environments, scripts should be replaced with local static assets.

• Spatial quaternions and multi-axis compound rotations consume substantial reasoning tokens. If Thinking mode is disabled, issues such as pivot drift after slice rotations or cube mesh clipping artifacts are likely to occur.
