Hypercube renderer

This renders an n-dimensional hypercube and rotates it about all of its planes of rotations. Written in Rust and is <100 lines of code.

Examples

A simple 3D cube perspective projected.

4D Hypercube (Tesseract) Perspective projected

4D Hypercube (Tesseract) Orthographically projected

5D Hypercube (Penteract) Perspective projected

6D Hypercube (Hexeract) Perspective projected

And last but not least, just for some fun, a rendering of a 10D Hypercube (in perspective projection).

Dependencies

• nannou
• ndarray
• lazy_static

Build and run

Prerequisites

• Install the Rust toolchain (the latest stable version is usually fine).

Running the renderer

1. Clone this repository and change into its directory:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd Hypercube-Renderer

2. Build and run the project with Cargo:

   cargo run

   This will compile the renderer and open a window showing a rotating 4D tesseract.

Changing the dimension

The dimension of the hypercube is controlled by the DIM constant at the top of src/main.rs. Edit that value and run cargo run again to render a cube (3), penteract (5), hexeract (6), or any other dimension you would like to visualize.
