A Working 5D Rubik's Cube

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'm-still-confused-in-2d dept.

Melinda Green writes "Readers who enjoyed the previous Slashdot postings regarding the 4-dimensional Rubik's cube called MagicCube4D will be interested to know that a couple of brilliant developers have recently created a working 5-dimensional Rubik's cube. Operating a 5 dimensional puzzle projected all the way down to a 2D computer screen may seem a hopeless task but the full 5D puzzle has already been solved by 3 people. Also noteworthy is the fact that the 4D puzzle has now been ported to Java and is available as both a full-featured desktop application and as an Applet."

    Then don't download it. For the thousands of us who already downloaded it for another program, it's not that big of a deal.

    I wouldn't mind downloading and installing such a framework, if it were available on a real operating system. What the fsck are you Windows users doing on Slashdot anyway?-)

    Much like videos encoded in QuickTime, I find that little non-apps like this aren't worth it. I say to myself, "Well, if it's only in QuickTime it's probably stupid anyway. Fuck 'em." or in this case, "If it's only coded in DOT NET then fuck 'em. It's just a fucking rubix cube anyway." and go about my day. If you want to write programs for real people to use, use a real programming language that'll fucking compile a stand-alone executable. Carlos Mencia sucks, but goddamn, dur dur dur! Fuck living in the future of "Oh, I better use this now, in two years it'll all be .NET." Live for today, motherfuckers. It's all we got.
