Making a 4D Game - 4D Explorer 

hi @The Horizon nice vids!

LOL

you have smooth brain, like me

Same

. . I want to crush your small tiny microscopic-sized Brain by saying this; if there are 2D beings where will their insides be; well.. if u watch the Film; "Flat-Land" then the answer might come plain to you. .

i don’t ask you

@@batal0538 you hot bro

And my brain is 1d

@@roeital5504 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

@@roeital5504 that's actually an interesting concept, our thoughts being one dimensional lines, because we cant really move our thoughts any way but forward, even if there are branching paths they can be thought of as a single line when you choose. maybe our thoughts are just a long psychedelic rainbow string

to make you feel better. its actually impossible we can only try to understand but w cant actually comprehend it cus we are all 3d creatures in a 3d universe

Is it bad that I can somehow comprehend them

@@dumbassfish dude why is it bad no one can, its impossible a three dimensional creature cannot comprehend anything with a higher dimension than its own brain

@@Mark-Wilson Thank you murderbot! You made this spike saw-blade flame acid-pit gun-robot laser test a little more bearable knowing that I am on the same level and plane of existence as alll my deceased peers!

Yeah, I really like this, so I will do some more with it in the future for sure! Thanks!

@@JelleVermandere AWSOME game, i played throu and was an amazing expience!!! I think lvl 1 colision detecton is a bit off... could not go up into de spaceship. other then than i felt if were 2d maps would be pretty guidefull, like xy, xz, xw, yw, zw .... what do yu think about it ?

E FG sorry for the late reply, thanks for the feedback, will keep it in mind!

Remember that every object has a width, and a height, why not in 4D too?

@@DaniMadridDaniMineCraft hmmm, x = width, y = height, z = length, w = ?

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

😮

Yeah we can?

@@Dude_for_christI think what he means is that a 2D object in a 3D world is impossible as it would be infinitely thin

@@gabegamez1018 yes but their is an infinitely thin layer of every 3d object

@@Dude_for_christ oh yeah, never thought of that

He gave a talk at gdc where he explained how he did it. It's on youtube

@@JelleVermandere Oh I see, thanks for confirming. :) I was curious as in-game it has an option to change "pixel chunkiness" lol.

Zeoworks I play slendytubbies a lot and I love your games.

@@ZeoWorks It stands to reason that would be a performance setting If you want less chunky pixels, you can do it, but it's more demanding of resources

unnecessary, you can limit color depth and amount of pixels that will be rendered

This would give me nausea in VR

TEchnicly, in the matematical terms, there is no upper limit of dimensions... But 4d is already hard to manage smothly by our brains...

5d would be even more interesting i think 6d might be the limit for most people's brains

After 4 it doesn’t get any harder to understand

@@flameendcyborgguy883 I think the upper limit is 10 or 11.

@@lyly_lei_lei in mathematic dimensions are described by matrixes, and wouldn't you know it, there is no upper limitation of size in the matrix regard. As well, no upper limit in calculations on said matrixes. What you are refering to is possible physics limit of uniwerse dimansions... Becose simply we cannot decide what higher dimensions would represent :P

wait, so 5 dimension would be the V axis, so the 26 dimension the A axis, and the 27 dimension... idk, there are only 26 letters in alphabet so, the things are starting getting more ancient αδηκβεθλγζιμνπτ

@Emma’s Birdtopian Account it’s not there. Neither is beta or gamma. He only included a few letters

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.

If you think comparisons to Musk are a compliment, then his public relations are astonishingly effective.

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.

@@19UV to work with the unity's limitations. The smaller insignificant objects can be made with clipping plane shaders. This helps to increase the fps by a boost and also give a lot more detail

@@19UV Actually I want refering to Raymarching boolean operations but mesh boolean operations

This comment is too big brain for me so I'll just like it so people smart enough to understand what you just said can see it

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.

This is only the beginning!

There's no actual 4th dimension. It's just a concept

in the game it is real

@@aonodensetsu true

@@michac.8283 We'll it's being debated whether there's more dimensions beyond the third or not, but so far yes nobody has found proof of it. But it's still a possibility.

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.

actually, almost every dimension is

1 dimension game is just a line. Not a one pixel high line, but a game that you can’t go up, down, forward, or backwards. Maybe a rythme game where you have to move in specific patterns

@@blendee2721 True and false. You can make a playable game that can move in the 3.(width height length)

Close, I believe it’s tesseract (Like tessellation, where object fit together like puzzle pieces)
