Non-Euclidean geometry AND portals!

[@Luigicat11]

Now I'm curious what a portal between two spaces of differing curvatures would look like...

[@ZenoRogue]

Maybe we will do this at some point. One problem is that the portal surface itself has curvature too (a "flat" portal connecting E³ and H³ would have different shapes on its sides, because one would be, say, a Euclidean rectangle and the other would be a hyperbolic something). Could work with H²xR vs E³, or with some weird curved portal, though.

@@ZenoRogue what if it's an ugly hack and you just lerp it lazily?

[@Luigicat11]

@@ZenoRogue Fair enough. Didn't even consider that factor.

[@ZenoRogue]

@Michael Darrow Yes, this is what I am planning.

[@ZenoRogue]

Portals between two spaces of different curvature are ready! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Tbm5aff6qXd5o

Watched this while I was really tired... It was definitely an experience.

[@christopherking6129]

Some of these look like crazy geometrical prisons, lol.

[@steelstiletto]

This is really cool looking, but I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm looking at during all points. I kinda miss having chapters that label what each visualization is of.

Added some links to the description.

It is not kind of video

[@WildStar2002]

3:22 is that one of the rings and, perhaps the bottom and top dodecahedra from a 120-cell? Beautiful!

[@Krudanze]

i wonder why none of the call of cthulhu or other lovecraft inspired games never used non-euclidean geometry for the alien worlds. lovecraft always described them as impossible to wrap your head around which is exactly how i feel when watching these videos. i think it would be perfect

[@ZenoRogue]

There are only a few non-Euclidean games in general, and they are mostly experimental, by small teams skilled in math, programming and game design, but maybe not the artistic skills needed to make a good Lovecraftian game. Most game developers seem to avoid non-Euclidean geometry, even games pretending to take place on a sphere rarely do it correctly. Hopefully existing games and videos like this will inspire game developers and artists to try new things :)

[@Krudanze]

@@ZenoRogue yeah most of the games i encountered are really simple visually. I would love to see some more detailed worlds being warped in non euclidean spaces

[@vii-ka]

this is why i have to practice coding but i keep procrastinating

[@pierrethehandsome2518]

Because it's really hard

[@ghb323]

Most people: Portals cannot go through itself or this happens (paradox): kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6mmc6t_j5dkapo This video: (manages to un-paradox it)

[@johnathanegbert9277]

Remember, this is a _non-Euclidean_ area, so of course it would work!

[@creature2322]

Starting to get used to your animations. So cool. Very trippy. Plus enjoying your soundtracks I know from your game I just bought. Big probz to you, you got my support.

[@mjde9532]

Beautiful collection

[@evaristeric6290]

Amazing, and excellent soundtrack. Very disturbing, yet fascinating. Congratulations and thanks

[@m_affiliates]

3:06 I love the music, it sounds so playful

[@michaelkelley737]

Not only that, but the first song included a descending Shepard tone.

[@Ottmar555]

The shperical portals were especially weird.

[@johnathanegbert9277]

Number three is Solv geometry, right?

[@ZenoRogue]

Yes (as mentioned in the description).

[@terabyte6903]

If you closed two portals in onto an object, what would happen? Edit: 9:32 reminded me of the fourth dimension.

[@Mr.Nyxxyrm]

Pov: you fell from the pool tiles and are now stuck in a tile filled dimension

3:06 sounds like something from -pokemon- *prodigy math game*

This feels like a jump map lobby in Tf2, on industrial amounts of acid.

What is the name of the music?

[@ZenoRogue]

The HyperRogue soundtrack (as mentioned in the description). More precisely, track names in order: R'Lyeh, Caves, Laboratory (Parrotte), Hunting Ground (Domina), Ocean, Caribbean (Savino), Mirror (Parrotte), Lost Mountain (Savino).

[@monkyyy0]

When adding time travel and macro quantum physics?

[@revllanes7354]

Each of the portals have a different room of colors! Meaning that if entering a portal blocky, the color is off!

[@hijeffhere]

Imagine playing hide and seek in these spaces

[@rileygronlund8233]

What are the songs used for this video?

[@samuels1123]

How are these structures constructed in these non-euclidean places? Is it a euclidean structure imported into the space?

[@ZenoRogue]

We have used a map editor to place portal walls and portal themselves, a bit like you would build things in Minecraft. (This map editor can be played with in HyperRogue/RogueViz.) For the bare floors, roofs, and the portals which make the spaces loop, it was easier to place them using programming than to build them manually in the map editor.

[@snacku7]

Did you make the background music?

[@ZenoRogue]

The authors of the background music are credited in the description.

[@snacku7]

Nvm it’s hyperrogue soundtrack

[@stevewhitt9109]

Music?

This should be a backrooms level

Please some use this in the backrooms.
