Oh wow, lots of new puzzles! Exciting stuff. I’ve already done several of the {12,x} ones. Would it be possible to get a comprehensive list of all the new ones outside of {5,5}/{12,3}/{12,4}?

I noticed a bug while scrambling {12,4} 8-Color F0.67:0:1. If I do a scramble of 100 or 500 moves, usually I will end up with some corners with two of the same color, or with purple next to yellow. This shouldn’t be possible since none of the moves can modify the set of pieces inside a corner. In fact, when I did a 100-move scramble and undid all the moves, the corners weren’t correctly colored.
