**Generating Scramble Moves**

I'm implementing the logic to generate a random sequence of valid Rubik's Cube moves for the scramble function. This involves selecting face rotations and directions randomly.

**Animating Face Rotations**

I'm now working on animating the rotation of individual cube faces. This involves interpolating the rotation of the relevant small cube pieces over a short duration for a smooth visual effect.

**Updating Cube State**

I am actively managing the internal state of the Rubik's Cube, ensuring that piece positions and orientations are correctly updated after each animation cycle completes. This is crucial for tracking the cube's solved or scrambled state.

**Updating Scene and Controls**

I'm currently focused on establishing the core Three.js scene, including the camera and renderer. Concurrently, I've begun defining the geometry and materials that will compose the individual pieces of the Rubik's Cube, and implementing OrbitControls for camera interaction.

**Building Interactive Cube**

I'm currently focused on integrating all necessary components into a single `index.html` file. This involves structuring the HTML, styling with CSS, and implementing the interactive Rubik's Cube logic using the `three.min.js` library. My aim is to ensure everything functions seamlessly without external dependencies.

**Consolidating Components**

I'm now focused on gathering all the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code into a single `index.html` file. This means embedding the styling and scripting directly within the HTML document, ensuring the `three.min.js` library is accessible, and all interactive cube logic is contained within.

**Structuring Single File**

I am now working to consolidate all the HTML structure, CSS styling, and the necessary JavaScript code into a single `index.html` file. This includes embedding the `three.min.js` library and ensuring the interactive Rubik's Cube logic, including face rotations and orbit controls, is self-contained and functional within this sole document.
