Hey, Listen Up!

For some reason, people keep coming by to look at this page. I'm glad you're interest in my hypercube, but you're missing the really cool page I helped to make! If you have any interest in reading fantasy novels, you should definitely check out Seized by the Tale:


Now back to our regularly scheduled HyperCuber

Here's a Java Applet called HyperCuber. This applet, based on the Macintosh program by the same name (also by me, available from a Mac ftp site near you), lets you rotate a four-dimensional cube in four dimensions. The first digit of a slider label indicates the dimension, and the second indicates the parameter. P controls perspective, and numbers control rotation angles. Code for the sliders was created by Adam Doppelt. Enjoy!

Here is the source code; sorry it's all in one huuuuge file. When I wrote it I hadn't figured out how to link multiple files together. The source code is divided into fairly independent classes, so it can be used to easily create n-dimensional points, n by n matrices, and n-dimensional wireframe objects. Though the object displayed here is only 4-dimensional, the code support viewing and rotation of objects of arbitrary dimension (except 1- and 2-dimensional objects).

For more hyperdimensional kicks, check out this other hypercube applet. Seems like the world is full of hypercube java applets-- Gamelan lists others, including a two-color stereoscopic one and this one.
