Short description
Tired of 2D and 3D games? Check out this sandbox game and primer for people curious about Euclidean 4D space. Learn how rotations work in 4D space. Explore all 6 known regular polychorons (4D figures made of 3D bodies for faces), or create your own by cutting existing figures or by programming.
About this game
Explore 4D world as viewed by the eyes of imaginary 4D creature that uses volumetric (3D) space for visual sensing instead of planar (2D) space like we do. A brand new 4D rendering engine was created for a Freespace-like game. Based on yet incomplete version of that engine, 2 modules were created and included into this package: Magic Manycell is a puzzle game inspired by Magic Cube. Just like a cube that has 6 square faces, each of which is split into 3x3 smaller squares, in 4D a tesseract has 8 cubic cells, each of which is split into 2^3 or 3^3 smaller cubic cells. Then, in Magic Cube, player can rotate 3x3x1 slice of the cube around single axis; in 4D, player can rotate 3x3x3x1 slice, but not around single - around any of 3 orthogonal axes! (note: Manycell is a term used to describe Polychoron that has its flat cells split into smaller cells which all stay in original cell's flat subspace). Besides the "hard" mode of Magic Tesseract where player can only rotate the whole 1x3x3x3 part, there is now much easier mode available to play where each "chamber" (or manycell 2x2x2 or 3x3x3) can be modified independently of its 4D neighbors - this is called Independent mode and provides much more casual and fun gameplay that can be engaged immediately, without mathematical research and memorization required to solve the "hard" Magic Manycell puzzle. Currently 3 different Polychorons are supported for Magic Manycell game - Tesseract with 2^3 cells, Tesseract with 3^3 cells and a 16-cell which has whole cells but is such a special figure that it can be rotated like Tesseract 2^3 - by splitting it exactly in 2 halves. In the future, it is planned to add more figures for this game mode - 24-cell and Tesseracts split in 4^3 and 5^3. In addition to Magic Manycell, the package includes Explorer mode. This exploration sandbox was created to observe 4D convex polychorons (which are 4D geometrical shapes made out of 3D shapes). Currently implemented features are: Pick any of 6 known regular polychorons to explore - 5-cell, 8-cell, 16-cell, 24-cell, 120-cell and 600-cell. Look at the selected polychoron from any direction like an imaginary 4D creature would. This is ach…
