I made a 4D game

It's rather a concept since it's quite small of a project. I made it in under 3 weeks but still with lots of work. If you could please take a look and tell me what you think, if you would like to see it on future games and be overall developed as an idea, I would highly appreciate your feedback considering the effort put into this. Also just wanted to add that I've never seen a 4D game using the wind as a factor, so I would say it's quite new and innovative, therefore why I jumped into such project.

Here's the link:

Thank you,

I LOVE IT! I would love to see more. Also Im proud that someone is trying something new, rather than trying to improve what has already been made.
Well done sir

Thank you Sauasgeman! It means a lot ^^

@Chip_Bruh Have you read the description? Basically it creates this illusion of wind as if you were in the car. It would actually be better if it was a convertible car and you would be driving it from the inside, but like I said, I made this in very little time so no time for these kind of details. The focus here is the fan part not actually the game (except that is a car's game).

Imagine wearing a VR set playing a car's game, and adding the wind as an element ;) maybe even some drops of water if you drove on a water puddle. Adding 3 or 7 more fans for each side.

Huh. That's actually pretty cool. I guess stuff like this would make sense to be the next step for VR.

Can I see the code for the arduino pls.
Also, how did you get it to interface with the game itself?

Thank you TooeleJedi and Michael ^^

I used virtual serial ports Dubz, it sends data from the game into a port that I recover on the arduino script. The arduino script isn't that long itself for me to send, all it does is receive from the serial port, check it and output it on a PWM pin from the arduino. For that you use AnalogWrite().

when you said 4D I imagined as this. The guy explains the concept of 4D, and its how I would explain it as well xd

It is pretty cool indeed, it explains 4D in an interactive and interesting way. But no one can make an actual 4D game, just cast the shadows of 4D objects, what would be the representation of a 4D object.

Sorry if I was a bit agressive
