Inside the 3D Game

How does the cubic 3D game work under the hood? Perhaps it’s not very interesting, but I thought you might like to know.

I had an early version of the 4D game going okay. So in order to make the 3D game I made a copy of 4D and set it up to play on the middle row only.

This is an real 3D game displayed on a 4D board.

If we call the four co-ordinates of each square x,y,z and w, what I did to limit the game to 3 dimensions was to fix the ‘y’ co-ordinate to ‘2’.

Of course there was some work to do in the code and plenty of changes needed in the Styles and logos etc., but essentially that was it.

So now you know.
