any dimensional cube
The program will create a cube in any dimensions and display it. repl.it will only allow up to 5 dimensions though. Press "p" to toggle perspective which could change the whole view. Press "space" to only show verticies. My second repl. Have fun!
how can you have 5 dimensions, that doesn't make sense?
@CodingCactus it's just visualising what a 5D cube would look like.
@benji10 ok, I'm just confused by how you could have a 5D object, could you explain it to me? :)
@CodingCactus i'm pretty sure this is all theoretical. But this is visualising what it would look like. I can't really explain, so i think the best bet is to look it up online.
@CodingCactus cool!
@CodingCactus There's an infinite number of dimensions. Now this is gonna sound crazy, but here I go.
You know how you can look at a 2D image and see everything at once? If I made a 2D box you'd be able to see all sides, inside and outside? Well that's because you're one dimension higher than 2D.
Do you know what that means?
A 4D being can see inside and outside of a 3D cube at the same time. Contemplate that for a bit. You should understand what that means for 5D then.
We, as 3D beings, aren't intended to conceptualize higher dimensions, but some can with relative easy, while others struggle.
@StudentFires i'm confused what else there could be, other than height, width and depth?
@CodingCactus It gets very complicated. I believe that time is considered to be the 4th dimension.
Aww, I wanted to finally see a 1 dimensional object. ahh whatever, definitely worth the upvote! Good work!
@StudentFires Thanks!
@StudentFires a 1d object is just a length (i.e. a line)
@CodingCactus Nope, a line is 2D. That is what I can't get about 1D. There can't be 1D objects. 1D is more of a concept.
@StudentFires no, 1d is one dimension like height is 1d
i believe
@CodingCactus Yeah, but lines are 2D.
@CodingCactus Is height an object?
@CodingCactus Lies, the 1D line is still 2D, we can measure the width of it. It's width needs to be 0 or NaN, then it would be 1D, but also unseeable.
That 0 is totally incorrect.
@CodingCactus That is how it is in mathematics, but math is just a human constructed conceptual system that can be used to assist us with physical, natural objects.
Those are the conceptual dimensions.
@StudentFires ik about the 0, it's just a picture off the internet, but I think of 1d like one of the edges of your garden or something?
@CodingCactus Here's the thing, look at this character:
|
It is a line, right? Of course it is!
But... we can measure it's width, thus it is a thin rectangle, thus 2D.
@StudentFires yes, but what is the width of one of the lengths of your garden?
@CodingCactus Well, I don't have a garden, but a normal 2D object's length can be measured, it is an attribute of the object (garden), but it cannot exist on it's own. It is a real thing though.
Thus we wouldn't be able to see it.
@CodingCactus Like I said, stuff gets complicated fast.
I give up. Some of my brain just fell out of my ear, so i'm going to stop now.
@CodingCactus To a being of the dimension, eg: square 2D being, or 3D being, cude, the object would appear totally normal to the being. As we are 3D beings, everything <= 3D is "normal" for us. We aren't supposed to perceive objects of 0D < nD > 3D .
@CodingCactus good that my 5D cube looks like that one! I didn't actually know what a 5D cube would look like.
@benji10 I don't blame you, it's not every day you look at 4D+ objects, is it?
@StudentFires No, it's not.
The 4D cube makes my brain hurt. Love the animation!
@DannyIsCoding Thanks!
How did you detect when p was pressed?
@JonathanBrazier You use keyboard bindings. For Turtle, you can say
wn.listen()
onkey(function, "p")
or
wn.listen()
onkeypress(function, "p")
if it's a later version of python.
@benji10 thx :D
@JonathanBrazier There's also a bunch of screen events you can use here: https://docs.python.org/3.1/library/turtle.html#turtle.listen
My mind just broke by looking at a 10d cube.
@JosiahKnisely wait, you can see a 10D cube?!
@JosiahKnisely I thought repl.it couldn't handle more than 5
@benji10 it can't
@CodingCactus It was just off the internet, not from Repl.it.
Ahhh, so MIND BLOWING!
@benji10 It's not even a cube any more.
@JosiahKnisely Nope, it's literally a circle at this point.
@JosiahKnisely I've also made an updated version of this. It's in JavaScript so runs much faster (up to 15 ish dimensions depending on your computer). Here it is:
https://wallpaper.benji10.repl.co/
Double and triple click to raise / lower dimension.
Bruh so cool!
@JosiahKnisely thanks!
@benji10 No problem.
awwww, it doesn't work with 1 dimension :(
@CodingCactus no, it kind of just crashes.
