duestfrr,

There is no 2^4 record just because I didn’t want to create the category
and keep it updated. I also don’t like edge length 2 puzzles because
they are such oddballs and difficult to support in the code.

About color customization, that was one of the features recently added
to MC4D though it’s probably not documented anywhere other than the list
archive. To use it, simply create a file named "facecolors.txt" in the
same directory as your jar file. Add one line of N colors to use for
each puzzle with N faces. Color format can be R,G,B with values from 0
to 255. You can also use the #RRGGBB hex web colors format and even mix
the two.
