=== How to Make | === How to Make a SLC Cube === | ||
An SLC cube is six characters in width and four in height. The second lowest row(''or second highest, if you're making an upside down cube'') is consisted entirely of the default block "█," while all other layers are made from SLC slope characters. The row directly above(''or below'') it makes use of customized cell backgrounds to facilitate the intersection of three different colored planes. | An SLC cube is six characters in width and four in height.

They are created using the default block character "█" along with the triangular unicodes "◢ ◣ ◤ ◥." Critically, the triangles must have the "'''''bold'''''" text decoration, which can be accessed using Ctrl + Q. | They are created using the default block character "█" along with the triangular unicodes "◢ ◣ ◤ ◥."

Unicode cubes are smaller than SLC cubes at five characters wide and three characters tall, but like SLC counterparts they have three colors for each of their faces. | Unicode cubes are smaller than SLC cubes at five characters wide and three characters tall, but like their SLC counterparts they have three colors for each of their faces. | ||
