It almost feels like a journal in the fourth dimension.

Now that there's 4D Golf, we could definitely use a 4D Tetris, then a 4D Doom, and perhaps a 4D Liminal Spaces type game...

I think we'll have GTA9 before we have Elder Scrolls 6.

[@phaedk.9267]

It's quite funny cause "ana and kata" is almost similar to "ano and kato" which in greek means up and down. So not only can't we visualise the forth dimension in a 3d space, the names themselves come from our undestanding of the three dimensions still!

[@aureole6383]

hinton actually got ana and kata from ancient greek!

[@lyrimetacurl0]

Haha, I thought ana and kata were Greek for up and down so what you said makes it seem like they ARE more different words 😂

[@Milaaq302]

Since we're quite good at simulating three dimensions on a 2D plane... I do wonder if it might be easier to simulate four dimensions on a holographic display, or in VR...

[@orbatos]

They literally are the Greek words

[@Nitidus]

​@@Milaaq302 It would look exactly the same, only with us being enabled depth perception

[@drdca8263]

1:51 : in this game, aiui, Anth and Kanth are used for the extra cardinal directions (fitting with North, South, East, West, Up, Down), while ana and kata are used for directions relative to one’s facing, along with forward, backwards, left, right, up, and down.

[@AbiSaysThings]

13:28 I feel like the only time I've been close to understanding the 4th dimension is staring at thoae rotating hypercube animations on Wikipedia for like 15 minutes at a time. And even then it's like I only understood that one shape and immediately forgot again once I stopped looking.

[@danielhicks1824]

Relatable. Have done the same

[@Big_Glizzy.]

I honestly did love playing on complex looking playground equipment. I even remember imaging the halls of my elementary school as being a corridor in a spaceship. My school building, being the spaceship. All I had to do was imagine it, helped me get through a long school day

[@FortuneCookieLies]

Probably the easiest way to comprehend the fourth dimension is not by simply visualizing it in a one and done. I don't think that is how our minds work. We cannot comprehend it because it is like a photograph trying to visualize a youtube video. We can't really comprehend it directly but if we take snapshots of our reality we can piece it together so that it one part of it will be viewable.

[@lyrimetacurl0]

You can imagine it by projecting it onto a 3D transparent view (such that you can see everything in the 3D volume). Then you can visualise all 10 degrees of freedom. 6 from the normal 3D, 3 that are 4D turnings that look like moving aling the 3 axes but loop around (same as in real life when you spin it looks similar to moving left and right but it loops), and a kind of zooming for the final dimension.

[@mslabo102s2]

So replacing one temporal dimension for one spacial dimension.

[@willwunsche6940]

Nothing has made me understand the 4th dimension more than watching this game

5:38 You *can* project the 4D world onto a 3D screen in your game, and then render that screen as a 3D cube to your actual 2D screen. You have to use wireframe (otherwise some parts of the image obscure others), and busy scenes are nigh impossible to interpret, but it gives you a decent interpretation of what a 4D being would actually see (and satisfies a ton of oldschool vector graphics nostalgia).

[@la912]

🤯

[@dominiccasts]

The things that I found really helpful when learning to understand (and fully birdie) the game were that volume view is a top-down view, meaning Ana and Kata movement is just another form of sideways; and that slopes will always preserve any momentum that isn't happening along its gradient (think about how a ball hit straight up a ramp will fall back down it, while a ball hit at an angle up the ramp will move back down, but also move sideways as much as it would without the ramp). Once I grasped that I found it much easier to conceptualize where to go next. At this point I just replay the courses trying to use different visualization modes to try to get a more complete intuition for the space.

[@pierfrancescopeperoni]

Now I want 4D Super Mario.

[@AmyFerguson]

I remember when Super Mario Galaxy came out and my very young son was playing it easily while it felt very topsy turvy to me. Like Charles Hinton, I wondered if it was shaping his brain to think in a different space than I was able to pick up on.

[@pierfrancescopeperoni]

@@AmyFerguson Probably the game I enjoyed the most. Many games have a full 3D level design, but a curved level design was not trivial it would work. Sometimes in fact it was not very intuitive how to move the control stick.

Most underrated comment in this section

[@HyperCubist]

13:18: The thing about not being able to 'truly' visualize a 4D object, is that it's also impossible to 'truly' visualize a 3D object. We only have 2D vision, and need to view a 3D object from multiple directions to form a mental idea of the what the object "is". We can do the same thing with 4D objects, i.e. view a hypercube from all directions in 4D space to build up a mental image. We're just projecting down 2 dimensions into our field of view rather than the usual 1. So it's just as possible to "see" a 4D object as it is to "see" a 3D object - one 2D projection at a time.

[@tyraelhermosa]

This is so cool. Thank you. Going to DL this and play around with it.

As someone who loves programming and maths, CodeParade is a huge inspiration. Sebastian Lague, tom7, Ben Eater and bitluni also do some fun and very technically impressive projects. And I know I'm forgetting at least one more.

[@howwitty]

This reminds me of the Doom video I saw recently where they tried scaling the value of π. I wonder if the xyz space is parametrized in a 4th variable or how that engine is rendering the image on the screen. Also, how much inertia does that ball have when it hits a wall? If there's no gravity does the course absorb all of the force imparted by the ball in motion?

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

Yeah, coordinates in this game use 4 variables: xyzw. As for how it's rendering, I'm no expert in computer graphics and from what I gather it's very complicated. The devlogs talk about it a bit. The course is fixed; when the ball hits a wall, it gets reflected back, just like in ordinary 3d minigolf games. There IS gravity, it's just that depending on what view you're looking at you can't always notice it. If you're looking up-down-north-south-east-west, you see gravity in the up-down direction; if you're in volume view, looking north-south-east-west-ana-kata, you don't notice any gravity because it's all in the up-down direction that's currently hidden from your view. The above being said, there is friction. As the ball rolls along the track it slows down. So in that sense, yes, the course absorbs the motion of the ball.

[@ebrown405]

What a mind bender!

[@intrepidis1]

How does gravity work in 4D?

[@Benoit-Pierre]

I love the question ...

[@skeleton8817]

There's still only one dimension with gravity, out of four, which means the ground is 3D

[@Huntracony]

Locally, it just pulls in the down direction (that's why we call it 'down' after all). The ana/kata axis is unaffected by gravity, just like the north/south axis is unaffected by gravity, until you start involving slopes. More broadly (but also kind of a cheap answer), gravity equations work just as well with 4d vectors as they do with a 3d vectors.

[@rennoc6478]

@@Huntraconywhat if we rephrase the question using newtons model of universal gravitation

[@ShadSterling]

I bet it would be easier to visualize 4d (maybe even 5d) spaces using "3d goggles", where you could actually see a 4th dimensional displacement. (tho you'd have to overcome your automatic correlation of the expected overlapping view of your two eyes, or do something clever in the projections to take advantage of it)

[@CrowsofAcheron]

It's interesting that 4D golf can be visualized in 3D, because golf takes place on a 2D plane, at least when the course is small.
