# ncube - A Generalized Hypercube Visualizer

`ncube` allows you to visualize hypercubes of arbitrary dimensions. It works by
rotating the hyperdimensional vertices and applying a chain of perspective
projections to them until the 3rd dimension is reached. **Everything is
generated in real time just from the dimension number.**

### Features

- Real time control of the simulation, such as tweaking the angular velocity
  factor of any plane of rotation
- Exporting and loading custom configurations as files

## But what am I actually visualizing?

Let's use the 7-cube demo GIF above as an example. In that specific case, you
are looking at:

- _A **3 dimensional perspective projection** of..._
  - _a **4 dimensional perspective projection** of..._
    - _a **5 dimensional perspective projection** of..._
      - _a **6 dimensional perspective projection** of..._
        - _a **7 dimensional hypercube undergoing a rotation** about the
          **q1q4** (X-W1) and **q2q3** (Y-Z) orthogonal planes._

## Web

A web version for this app is available at
[ncube.ndavd.com](https://ncube.ndavd.com) via the WASM build.
