I'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to starting projects on my own in this AI-driven age. A few years back, it seems like people managed to complete projects without the constant support of AI—which I can't even imagine doing today. I have an idea for a project: creating a 2x2 Rubik's Cube solver. However, every resource I find seems super complicated. I've come across old projects where people referred to math and combinatorics research papers to write their code, and it feels overwhelming. I want to go old school and tackle this with just basic resources like Google and Stack Overflow, but I really don't know how to kick things off. Has anyone tackled a project like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

One way to start is by stopping your dependency on AI. Try looking up beginner tutorials related to coding and solving math problems. Start small and build your way up from there. You can learn a lot from hands-on experience!
It sounds like you might have to invest some serious time into understanding the algorithms behind your project. Many programming tasks are just math problems dressed up in code. Don't be afraid to hit the books or research papers! If you can find someone to collaborate with, that might make the challenges more manageable and fun.
If you're diving into a math-heavy project like that, brushing up on your math skills could be really helpful. Tutorials and online resources can guide you. Remember, coding often requires patience and determination. Look on sites like GitHub for existing projects to learn from and adapt. You got this!
Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely going to look into collaborating with someone. It could help me stay motivated.
