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!

hot new top

awwww, it doesn't work with 1 dimension :(

no, it kind of just crashes.

how can you have 5 dimensions, that doesn't make sense?

it's just visualising what a 5D cube would look like.

ok, I'm just confused by how you could have a 5D object, could you explain it to me? :)

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.

ok!

cool!

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.

i'm confused what else there could be, other than height, width and depth?

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!

Thanks!

a 1d object is just a length (i.e. a line)

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.

no, 1d is one dimension like height is 1d
i believe

Yeah, but lines are 2D.

Is height an object?

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.

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.

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?

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.

yes, but what is the width of one of the lengths of your garden?

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.

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.

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 .

Okay!

good that my 5D cube looks like that one! I didn't actually know what a 5D cube would look like.

I don't blame you, it's not every day you look at 4D+ objects, is it?

No, it's not.

The 4D cube makes my brain hurt. Love the animation!

Thanks!

How did you detect when p was pressed?

You use keyboard bindings. For Turtle, you can say
wn.listen()
onkey(function, "p")

wn.listen()
onkeypress(function, "p")

if it's a later version of python.

thx :D

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.

wait, you can see a 10D cube?!

I thought repl.it couldn't handle more than 5

it can't

It was just off the internet, not from Repl.it.

Ahhh, so MIND BLOWING!

yeah

It's not even a cube any more.

Nope, it's literally a circle at this point.

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:

Double and triple click to raise / lower dimension.

Bruh so cool!

thanks!

No problem.
