Exploring the surface of a hypercube

A simulation of what it might look like if a 3 dimensional person were to move about on the surface of a tesseract (a 4D cube). Each of the 8 surfaces (rooms) has a distinct color (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, black, and white).

wait...... so this is just the surface? So were not actually "inside" the cube?

This is SO confusing.... :/

Thinking about the 3D analogy can help make this make more sense. With a cube, you have 6 faces. Think of each of those faces as a square two dimensional room connected to four others. In order for a 2D being in one of those rooms to move into an adjacent room, he has to go around a 90 degree bend in a direction that he cannot perceive.

can this be imitated using Portal the video game?

Reminds me of that movie, Cube. I think a saw some blood and body parts on the 12th room.

@Destructoid17 its inside my category of "the shittiest movies ever", terrible conceptualization, terrible graphics, terrible amtosphere music, terrible actors and terrible acting, the ending was the most awful part, whats up with the lake in the warehouse?

@elchapetas That movie was fine, and pretty scary in it's own kind of way.

[elchapetas]

isnt that from that awful movie "cube 2 hypercube"?

the movie was better

At 0:14 the doors should have closed and the player should have been immediately incinerated.

Oh wait this isn't the movie
