Hi Eduard,

MC4D <http://www.superliminal.com/cube/cube.htm> supports macros and has a
puzzle version of the 120-cell. The separately implemented 120-cell puzzle
here <http://www.gravitation3d.com/magic120cell> does not support macros,
though it does have some other nice features that help make a solution more
tractable (in particular, sticker finding functionality). It is also more
performant in my experience.

I wish I could say adding macros to the latter was on my short term to do,
but there is so much else ahead of it on the interest scale that I don’t
have plans for working on that right now. I’m always happy to share the
source code with anyone who might like to tackle this feature though.

Take Care,
Roice
