Hypercube
after seeing unconed's wolfenstein 3d preset, i was wondering if somebody could do a hypercube as seen in the movie cube². a similiar dynamic movement flying through equally looking rooms.

PAK-9 already has made one.It's not the greatest though. So maybe a better one could be made?

:mad: AHEM. I did one that was fully dynamic and rotated around every axis. PAK-9's (which was after mine, FYI) was a shitty little thing that required 24 superscopes and only went around one axis, and at a constant speed, if I'm correct.

Anubis, the honor for hypercube (And almost supercube) goes to Atero. Praise him! (I can't believe I typed that...)

Anyways, are you talking about a DM going through 8 cubes, with a 4d-ish arrangement? (Impossible in 3d, I believe - unless exchanging shapes) Then it's best to use several cubes with holes in middle as doorways - But the concept of that alone will certainly be not easy and will be slow... Now putting the holes in...

I never saw the movie "cube^2" - Can you point me out?

P.S. : If it involves rotation up and down... It'll be *really* slow.

Sorry Atero, I don't have your hypercube. For some reason I have pak-9's though. Yours is better.

sorry, it's just that i worked for days on it, and i kind of find it insulting when someone else gets credit for something they didn't do...

What, did he not make the hypercube himself?

dirkdeftly

you're crediting him for doing it first tho, or at least that's the implication.

Sorry Atero.
ATERO IS THE GREATEST HYPERCUBE MAKER EVER.
*bow down

does that make you feel better.

okay: i've done two really original things in AVS. that's my cellular automata and that's my 4D shapes. those are MINE. when someone tries to take that away from me i get a little pissed, okay?

Okay Atero.

ATERO IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD OF FOUR DIMENSIONS!

Depends which four dimensions you mean...

For W, then it would be atero.
But the king of T? Who will it be...?

I nominate Zevensoft_Matrix_Reality.

yeah, you would, wouldn't you...what about G? probably unconed. T would be unconed too. X, Y, and Z...unconed. W is still mine.

I gues that whith 't' you probably mean time (even if there is no reason to look at time as a dimension in avs) but is 'g' gravity or what is it?

anubis2003

7th February 2003 22:31 UTC

I think T and G are 4D terms, but I'm not sure. I'm not up to date with my 4-D stuff.

dirkdeftly

7th February 2003 23:55 UTC

T is time, G is gravity...there're more physical dimensions (around 11 total if I'm correct) but I'm not quite sure what they are :)

Isn't universal position one of them?

Limpet

Just imagine what quantum computers could do for avs. :)

anubis2003

8th February 2003 02:59 UTC

They would make it hard to use the t variable. If you didn't make t increment by like .00000000000000000001 then it would be too fast to watch.:p That would be awesome speed.

Then pow(10,-15) will be all too common =P

Quantum comps use "Universal Position" - This allows trinary, instead of binary way to store and calculate data - Trust me, it's that much better. The only problem is that it's goddamned hard to keep atoms (Or was it a few steps smaller?) at that state... (Good ol' Popular Science magazine)

Other ideas include DNAs (Quite radical...) and some others I forgot.

Oh, Atero, didn't you get pretty close to V (Or whatever is after W)?

I'd like to see someone post a website(s?) about the other 11...

And another

I'm not sure how relevant these are, but they look like they might be helpful.

Ha! As if UnConeD ever made a preset as eligible for an oscar as matrix reality. That stick figure neo showed just as much acting talent as Keanu Reeves.

I used U because V obviously didn't work for me :) And yes, I almost did. I started on the 5-cube but I never got it working right. It was too complex anyway, I doubt anyone would've liked it much when it was finished.
