Nice rendition of 4D in Euclidean 3-Space. Hopefully we will be able to see more games like these in the future.

Read the text at the top-right dammit.

if this is 4d then I played a 4d game 10 years ago

@Oxxyjoe It should be playable by some. But angled perspectives and the lack of a good 3D projection (being screens a 2D image of 4D which sucks) makes it hard.

being only a three dimensional being, I applaud your efforts (to the creators of this "4-D" game) yet I am thinking that a true 4D game wouldn't really be playable by us, since we haven't "awakened" yet to more than 3 spacial dimensions, and so thus, this is just "fancy, complicated" 3-D :D

This game is pretty fun if u know what ur doing.

If you don't, ur gonna end up aiming just X and Y and not know wtf Z is for and ur gonna go "wtf am I missing?"

whoah.

if I understood that video correctly......

just. whoah.

bro, time can be a dimension if you're describing the position of an object in 3 dimensional spacetime (time being the 4th). However, it's also conceivable and mathematically possible to have 4 (or more) perpendicular geometrical axes, in which case time would be the 5th dimension (describing an object in 4 dimensional spacetime). In fact, as hard as it may be to imagine, mathematics even permits non-integer numbers of dimensions (e.g. 3.5).

life is in 3 dimensions and calling it 4d is like saying that the movement etc witnessed in the game cant be copied in real life. so is it really possible to have 4 dimensions?

@qwe12364 True, but at what point can something be considered "well tested"? lol. Anyways, you're right. Hypothesis*

@Tarandarklord

A theory is something well tested. the scientific word that you are looking for is: Hypothesis
