The sliders are a factor of the rotational velocity. By changing those, the simulation gets updated in real time, so you can manually accelerate any type of rotation. Currently there's no support for cross-sections, and I'm not

It's currently not planned as I don't have the hardware to test. But would definitely be interesting!

Glad you're enjoying it! :)

No problem! I'm glad it cleared your doubts.

I gave an answer to that animation behavior in a comment bellow https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38621273 Also, please test out the native version of ncube, I provide some pre-compiled binaries for Mac, Linux and Window

Thank you for the feedback. I give a detailed description here https://github.com/ndavd/ncube#but-what-am-i-actually-visual... . This basically was inspired by the famous GIF of the tesseract. As I mentioned in the url

That's right, it's a very promising technology, however. ncube started as a native app and making a web port was a plus, using Web Assembly.

I am sorry for that, the web application works better with "Hardware acceleration" turned on, so that it makes use of the GPU. The native apps should perform way better.

Possibly, will see if I can add the option to not render faces sometime in the future. Feel free to submit a feature request in the repository in the meantime. And those controls are present, zooming and rotating, click the `help` button fo

From the provided recording it seems to be working properly. Keep in mind that in most hardware I wouldn't even try to go beyond the 7th/8th dimension. It becomes too intensive, way too many vertices, edges and faces to calculate.

Might seem counter intuitive but that's the intended behavior. Instead of looking at the order of values think of it as the angular velocity state associated with a rotation plane. Worth noting that q1q4, for example, refers to the rot

It is an inherently hard/nearly impossible task for us, three dimensional beings. I gave a shot at attempting to give an explanation here: https://github.com/ndavd/ncube/#but-what-am-i-actually-visua...

Thank you. These web apps work better (or only) with "Hardware acceleration" on. It should make use of the GPU. If it still persists I'd recommend the native binaries, they are always going to be faster.

Thank you, glad you like it. And thanks for the report. Are you able to reproduce it again? I could not reproduce it. If so, could you provide more details or even better, open an issue at https://github.com/ndavd/ncube
