Rubiks 2x2

I am relatively new to coding, self taught and only know very basic stuff. I decided to try and make a 2x2 rubiks cube, knowing it wouldn't be the most efficient or simple way, but I would understand it. The code is extremely messy. I enjoyed making this my way without looking at how other rubiks cube simulators are done so if this can be recreated with 2 lines of code I won't be upset. Anyways, any feedback at all would be appreciated.

PS: The layout of the cube is like this:

     |08 09|16 17
     |10 11|18 19
20 21|00 01|04 05
22 23|02 03|06 07
     |12 13|
     |14 15|

    nicely done, Sir!

    Very nice.

    To improve, I would recommend starting out by eliminating repetition -- Don't Repeat Yourself.

    So for example you have 200+ lines of repeating code that sets the fill for each tile. You could eliminate that repetition by taking the fill control code sequence that starts if (c<=3){, putting all of that in a function, and then calling the function and passing it arguments (i) each time you need it.

    Nice, thxs for sharing. Thinking in doing the 3x3 version?

    Thanks for the feedback Jeremy, that'll be my next step in improving my code :).

    Thank you Chrisir and kfrajer, yes, but after I refine my method, as 3x3 would have exponentially more code (54 squares, plus 2 more cycles per move due to the edges). Also I am planning to make cubes that would be impossible in real life.

    If you go 3D, you can use PeasyCam to look at the cube from all sites
