4d Snake

Hi everybody,

here I try to present a little game I have programmed in python, is a 4d snake…
Same rules as the nokia® snake but in 4 spatial dimensions.

This is a preview of the game.
The game is still in beta version and I think it will remain like that forever http://www.thescienceforum.com/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif
I think that trying to program it gave me a better insight in the 4 dimensions…
I don’t know if maybe by playing it you will have the same feeling…

I’m looking forward for suggestions and comment…

have a nice day

I’m posting it on this forum, because I wrote the code in Python, and actually could be implemented as a python script for blender…
Do you know if it was already done in python something related to the 4th dimension?

After watching that video my brain blew up. I do not understand it at all. :S

neat but far too complicated. i understand the mathematics behind this game but humans do not think in four spatial dimensions, so it cant be easy to make a playable game out of the idea.

in a few days I’m gonna post the game, and it will be more clear, if you want to know what the 4th dimension is:

but anyway you don’t need to understand the 4th dimension to play it :wink:

That is crazy, like a lot of the 4 dimensional illustrations of common games.

After watching that video my brain blew up. I do not understand it at all. :S

Then you really shouldn’t watch this then (a different game, but still confusing)

wow…my eyes exploded, i was trying to watch every thing at once

Finally I compiled the code…
The code is open source :smiley:

and here is my highscore:
-----GAME OVER-----
score: 854.739
cube taken: 20
fake check: 6b8

I’ll have to try that out. I like 4D games.

Hello everybody.
I did a new version of the game, changed colors, and now the graphic output is managed by OpenGL which makes the games tons faster. Corrected some bugs and so on, I will compile it during the week and then I will post the links.
For now a little teaser:

and if I can ask you an opinion:
which of the two version do you like better?




I think the second version looks better…

thank :wink: I think I will anyway give them both in the final game, but I wanted to make a new video and so I don’t know which one to use :smiley:

i am really looking forward to your game.

I go through the video link you share here but not solve with one issue…?

@hemster05
what do you mean?
I think I know what happend, rapidshare deleted my files after 3 months. I’ll update the links!
