Hypercube ScreensaverHere is a little Windows screensaver I made a while back. It represents a cube rotating in four dimensions. Since we cannot directly visualize the fourth dimension, the "hypercube" is projected into three dimensions. This can be thought of as its shadow. This is then displayed on your two dimensional screen using the OpenGL graphics library. To run, put in your Windows system32 folder and then select the screensaver from your display properties panel. It can be quite mesmerizing.

You're sure I'm not planting a nuclear bomb in my system if I do this?
