and after that you have to plug the red wire into the socket to make sure the engine boots at launch. Wrap the green wire around it's coil that sits directly beside the A button. After you put the back shell on, place the battery in the slot. Screw the Vr26 Jeeper back up and press the reset button. If everything worked according to plan you're device should show a thumbs up sprite. Plug the HDMI port into a monitor and wait three seconds. If it boots up on TV your in the good side. If it doesn't boot in less then 5 seconds quickly unplug. This can severely damage your TV and possibly start a fire

I think that in the theory of relativity time is a dimension. Acceleration and deaccélération in the time domain is basically actively rotating along the t axis in a sort of abstract way. However, it can't rotate more than 90 degrees since time would then flow backwards but it does behave similar to spatial dimensions when it comes to rotation. 0 degrees of rotation corresponds with an object at rest and at near 90 degrees of rotation time slows down/stops for the observer at a particular point as is the case near black holes.

Hey, I just played it, and that was actually alot of fun. A unique challenge. Thanks for sharing!

[@thecodeprism]

Hey there Jelle, I also am interested in making a 4d game and I just bumped into your video. I liked your effort but I guess you shoulf have used boolean operations on meshes combined with ray marching and ray marching collisions so as to get good graphics, optimisation and 4d too. Basically with this you will be able to import external 3d models which would be textured. I huess meigakure does this. Oris there a way to do raymarching with custom shapes made in a 3d editor like blender?

[@19UV]

As far as I know, raymarching can't be used with triangle based models (or it can't be used optimally). Raymarching requires objects to be defined mathematically. So, for example a sphere at origin is defined as length(p)-r (there are a large number of articles on raymarching for further questions). So because of objects being mathematically defined Boolean operations are easier (I assume). Miegakure uses a method where it constructs all objects out of tetrahedra, takes the cross section and renders it with OpenGL. A 4D renderer that is based off of raymarching is generally easier to write, but slower (GPUs are optimized for rasterization). Sorry for writing an essay.

This could be possible but would take a lot of development time. Quite a few people have tried to make a game like this, but as you can see they take an incredible amount of time and sometimes they never get released. I suspect the goal of this video was to get a simple working demonstration for people to play, and also get the code libraries for people to innovate. Just because this developer did not go the route you've described doesn't mean it isn't possible or that a mistake was made. The developer just did not have time to implement that, because getting this to the public was much more important. His code is now posted for further innovation by other people. This is a major step forward for 4D games as a category. What you propose is a good idea, and would speed up the workflow for creating new models for 4D games. You would probably need to make a smaller program that takes a mesh and converts it into objects for ray marching, as I don't think this is possible to do in real-time. I'd be interested to see what the memory impact is, though. I could also be misunderstanding what you describe. Also, I don't think Miegakure used imported 3D triangle models. I'm pretty sure all the objects were defined in the game's code and generated at run-time. It doesn't use ray marching, but instead defines a new kind of triangle-based model that takes 4D coordinates instead of 3D. This allowed him to use traditional rendering techniques (fast and high-resolution), but unfortunately there's no software for making 4D models so he had to create them by directly typing in the model vertex-triangle data by hand. I could be wrong; I have not looked at that project in a long time, but I'm pretty sure I remember this correctly.

One question, would it be possible to "visualise" 4d moving the 4d dimension really fast? There is a trick where people get various cameras and take a picture of the same thing at the same moment, but at various angles. Then if you keep changing between the photos really fast, the thing will look 3d. Could the same effect be used with 4d, to try to make us "see" 4d dimension?

[@Novodantis]

Motion is about the best way we have of visualising the w axis, but it's worth noting that the "2D image -> 3D shape" trick leverages some inbuilt "software" in our brains that can construct a 3D understanding from flat snapshots from our eyes; this was essential for our animal ancestors to interact with a complex 3D world using collected light from one viewpoint at any one time. There isn't a comparative "static 3D -> 4D shape" in our biological software, which is why we struggle to grasp it as anything more than a 3D thing, changing over time.

4D viewing would benefit of a virtual 3D monitor surface that can be moved and rotated on a 2D physical viewing surface, to make it more analogous with our typical 3D viewing. The idea here is to be able to view 4D objects simultaneously in their entirety instead of slicing them. Viewing 4D sceneries on 3D monitor would also benefit of the idea of "lateral transparency". It is not transparency in the actual sense of the word, but an artificial viewing aid. Think about a 4D scenery with a ground, a sky, and an object in the middle of the picture. Normally we would only see the virtual monitor (for example shaped as a cube) filled with brown at the bottom and azure at the rest of its height. The object in the middle would be obscured out of sight like a spoon in a glass of milk. Instead, we would need the ground and sky to be somewhat transparent so that we can see the object in the middle. We would need also the object to be transparent, to a lesser degree, to see other objects that may be in front of it in the 4D coordinates but appear as immersed into it in the 3D coordinates. The general rule would be that the smaller the details, the less transparent they appear on-screen. This viewing perspective would have the vanishing point in the middle of the cube and let the viewer freely rotate the cube to facilitate the visualizing. If there are animation capabilities, it would be highly recommendable to show the animations as if recorded by a handheld 4D camera. The small, erratic movements of the camera would greatly help in adding 4D parallax hints into the view.

Here’s a fun thought experiment of the 4th dimension. Imagine the St Louis Arch suddenly appearing in the 2D universe of Flatland. The base of the arch lies on Flatland. To an observer in Flatland, they will see two large rectangles . They would have no idea that two rectangles were part of the same object. Now imagine of the leader of Flatland decides to commission the movement of one of the rectangles to make way for a new road. They would send out their 2D little tow truck and try to remove the one rectangle. But when they push away this rectangle, the 2nd rectangle moves the exact same direction. They would be left wondering how the two seemingly unrelated rectangles are entangled to one another. What if this is how quantum entanglement works? What if the particles that are seemingly far apart, are actually connected to each other in the 4th, 5th, 6th dimension? This would explain how one particle changing its spin can instantaneously affect the spin of another particle lightyears apart from each other.

My brain is blown away. Don't understand shit and can't even see how the cubes look like. This some fucking magic.
