About the Algorithm:
There are 2 sets of 13 drawings each, one named P192 and one named P193:
1) A cube with a arbitrary rotation is calculated and transformed successively into a cube with a different rotation by replacing the 12 lines of the first cube, one by one, with their new rotated positions from the second cube.
2) Two cubes of different rotations are calculated. One line from each cube is added in each image starting from 0 lines until all 12 lines in each cube are reached, resulting in 2 overlapping cubes.
