4D Games

The math for this checks out. If our neurons were wired in just the right way we [i]would[/i] be able to imagine in our minds what a 4D shape might look like and see it for ourselves the way it is. Not just a slice of it but the whole object in its entirety. The sad part about that, if you were able to, is that you would never be able to show anyone else what only you can see. To try and draw or recreate these shapes would be like trying to draw in 3D (upwards) on a flat piece of paper (2D.) The direction just isn't there. While you could draw a projection of it, no one would understand because a projection will always appear to be distorted, much like how the angles of a projection (the shadow) of a regular translucent 3D cube are not 90° even though we know that all the edges of the real 3D cube is. In this game you are able to inspect and play around with essentially just that, the 3D rendered projections of 4D shapes. It is even possible to recreate real-life objects in the Shape Builder and then extrude them into mathematically accurate 4D objects even though as I explained, displaying the entire object in 4D is physically impossible, in real life, games or otherwise. This i…

When i first saw the game, i was excited to try it out. But after playing the game for almost an hour, i found it to be quite tedious. I found the beginning tutorial to be one of the best out there, it was simple and intuitive, and it's interactive nature allowed me to easily get behind the controls. The games on the other hand, are one of the worst 4D games I ever played. aside from shape matcher, the rest are far to complex to even be remotely fun. Having a lenth of more than 5 to 10 min top. One where you have to guess the rotation of the object you can't even see and the other forcing you to match 3D cross-sections exacly without mistake. The 4D maze was decent but without the ability to rotate and see your position you're just going to end up going in cercles, until you find the end goal. If your a casual wanting to experience a cool 4D game, then this game just ain't for you, if you don't have prior knowledge of 4D or genius.

A nice variety of 4D activities. I enjoyed the 'pose matcher', challenged my thinking in higher dimensions. I'm sure someone who is more artistic than I will make good use of the custom shape editor.

Recommended , worth playing.

i feel like i am high when i am playing this game

Really cool game if you're new to the world of 4D games and are looking for an introduction to the 4D world.
