Thanks for the shout-out! Here are some comments: * you say that "the shortest line on a sphere is not necessarily a straight line" but what is a straight line? It is a kind of meaningless concept until you define it. In my opinion a straight line is one that is (locally) shortest, making this "axiom" a definition. For a creature actually living in a non-Euclidean world, the shortest lines are indeed straight. If you are a creature living in a (two-dimensional) spherical geometry, the third dimension simply does not exist for you, and the great circles are perfectly straight lines, because they curve neither to the left nor to the right. Also, if you try a computer simulation of a spherical or hyperbolic three-dimensional space, the shortest lines will look straight (this is not the case in non-isotropic geometries though). * I definitely agree that all the games are just tricks. However, it does not matter! It is the effect which is important, not how it was achieved. The problem with games such as Antichamber or Superliminal is that they do not give a feeling of being in a non-Euclidean space at all. You do not see the visual or geometric effects typical for non-Euclidean geometry when playing these games. The effects you see have nothing to do with non-Euclidean geometry. * you sound as if non-Euclidean geometry was something accessible only to geniuses, and game development was easy. Most people are born with great math skills, which then deteriorate because of bad teaching. The math of non-Euclidean geometry is not really much more difficult than the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometry. The bigger problem is conceptual, not mathematical: people have their Euclidean intuitions so deeply ingrained that if you show them that they are wrong, they will not believe you and make the same Euclidean assumption again. * Also it is the best to just play a true non-Euclidean game and see for yourself. That is way better than watching videos or reading books. Everything can be experienced in HyperRogue.

There's multiple ways of being non-Euclidean.

But hyperbolic and spherical spaces are curved, and so the axioms don't hold. I wouldn't say one is more truly non-Euclidean. But the former are not even smooth manifolds, having sharp edges where space breaks down. If you were to stand in a Portal portal and move sideways, would you be sliced in half by the sharp edges of space?

So does learning the legal system of a dead civilization just so I can understand the origins of the term “an eye for an eye”. I could be learning how to do taxes or a business runs but instead I’m learning about... ziggurats. Instead of learning something useful I now know every single one of Heracles’ trials, as well as why he did them and how he died.

This was a fun video, especially since I just finished writing a ray tracer yesterday, and I have a PhD in math and have worked a lot with non-Euclidean geometries. People should keep in mind that we're (basically) living on a spherical geometry: it's just a topological manifold as it's locally Euclidean (i.e. we get all the effects of Euclidean geometries on small scales: if you draw a triangle with chalk on the ground, it's going to look like the angles add up to 180 degrees even though in reality it's going to be 180 + epsilon for some very tiny value epsilon), and it's large enough that we can't usually detect that it's not Euclidean. When you fly, though, as you said, the shortest distance between two points is actually the great circle between them (take those two points and draw a circle passing through both of them that is just the equator transformed) and lines on a sphere are all great circles, where as you say, parallel lines intersect. We perceive ourselves to be living in 3D, but the surface of a sphere is a 2D geometry. It's also part of the reason why making accurate maps are so hard: you can't "unfold" the earth into a rectangle (basically a plane which would be a Euclidean geometry), since the surface of the Earth is non-Euclidean. As for the cube room, this could just be done with projective geometries. You're basically living in a projective geometry if you close one eye and it's what ray tracing is based on, as are, say, movies watched on a flat surface: you're watching a projection of a 3D world onto a 2D one... so those cubes you saw could just be like a "six sided LCD screen" with each side being a unique projective geometry onto a completely different scene. When I play a game like Boggle, I always feel cheated that it's played on a 4x4 grid, since the letters in the corners are only adjacent to three other letters, the letters on a side are adjacent to five, and the letters not on corners or sides are adjacent to nine... so I play Boggle on the surface of a torus instead (which is essentially a donut): you can "roll over" the top of the grid to the bottom (pretend they're glued together), and if you think of it that way, then you turn the surface of the board into a cylinder. If you then do the same thing to glue the left and right sides of the board, you take that cylinder of finite length, curve it around, and connect the ends, which gives you the "donut" shape of a torus. A real mindf*ck is to try to play Boggle on the surface of a finite projective geometry: take the top of the board, flip it around, and glue it to the bottom of the board: they you get a Möbius strip. Do the same thing with the left and right sides and you get a shape that you can't even really imagine. I worked on an app where you can choose the surface you want to play Boggle on, and when you click a letter, it shows what letters are considered adjacent to it... playing on a torus feels really natural, but playing on a finite projective geometry is very disorienting. Fun stuff and good video.

I love these videos so much I'm so glad you're making more

Hey, around 1:35, perspective geometry claims that parallel lines intersect at infinity. On another note, there is another game similar to those showcased in which the player has a camera that takes photos, then can put the picture anywhere, and the picture becomes physical.

You forgot to mention Hyperrogue, one of the original noneuclidean geometry games.

This video is worth more than it sets itself out to be. Thank you!!!

Really appreciate this vid. it's something I've wondered about for years.

Great video! You teach people by using an unusual and most importantly an interesting example - games. As a 15 year old student, I am VERY interesting to watch this, thanks. I played Antichamber almost 5 year old, but still remember that masterpiece, i should play it again!

*watches whole vid* Digi: "Now youre a "bit wiser" me: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I was really impressed with superliminal when it came out. Literally didn't know how it was achieved. Now it looks so simple, but it's great.

Such an underrated channel, keep it up

I agree that we can't really fault '3D' videogames (or VR games) for trickery since it's literally all trickery in the first place ;p ''3D'' games aren't truly 3D, visually speaking, as we all know and VR is possibly even more trickery and illusion. Adding in more clever illusions to portray concepts such as non-euclidian geometry is brilliant. There's a few VR titles that mildly lend from these concepts as well. It's mostly portal/movement speed trickery in those, but still very clever and weird to experience. Whether it's ''Tea for God'' or ''Shattered Lights'' (both of which you will walk around your own playspace, despite traveling larger distances in game) or other roomspace/playspace trickery it's quite weird experience.

Stop that 🛑 😂 ✋

this is actually very helpful, thanks for the great explanation!!

i love the videos on this channel and how you explain things!

You gotta play "manifold garden", this game is mesmerizing af

0:46 a brazilian meme! here's my like

Bro throughout all of highschool i struggled with finding angles in triangles cause i never understood and you literally just helped me figure it out in less than 3 seconds

I want more games that explore this concept because it's so neat

Wouldn't be surprised if he just said "First, we need to talk about parallel universes." Then just started talking about SM64

I'm sure some are looking for this and were disappointed that it's not provided in the video. So: Use Möbius transformations of quaternions. (Look it up if it's new to you. I won't give full explanations here.) Quaternion rotations are represented as Möbius transformations of the form q 0 0 q A parallel transport (translation) of distance s in the direction of unit vector v is... in a flat Euclidean space: 1 sv 0 1 in a spherical space of curvature 1: cos(s) sin(s)v sin(s)v cos(s) in a hyperblic space of curvature -1: cosh(s) sinh(s)v -sinh(s)v cosh(s) This works with coordinates in a polar projection for spherical and a Poincaré disk for hyperbolic space. Geodesic surfaces are represented as surfaces of constant curvature (spheres and planes). If you want to use standard Z-buffer based 3d graphics, then for rendering you need to transform the hyperbolic coordinates to the Beltrami-Klein model and the spherical coordinates to a central projection. The central projection can only map half of the sphere, and that's ignoring limits of floating point precision. So you'd need think about how you can slice and dice your frustrum to render beyond that. In all of this we use the imaginary space of the quaternions as our three-dimensional world. But we're using four-dimensional quaternions internally. So this can easily be expanded to a four-dimensional world by allowing rotations into the real-valued axis of the form q 0 0 q* (where q* is the conjugate of q) and allowing v to have non-zero real values.

I found this video very well explained and the examples were very helpful!

Omg! I just watched your portal video like 2-3 months ago and got so sad you haven’t posted in 3 years! I’m happy to see you back

2:54 nitpicking, but that's not the shortest line!

I’m going to buy Superliminal on the Epic Games Store after having seen this video. Do you have an Epic Games Store creator tag?

The best gamedev series on KZread

Thank you for making us a bit wiser!

"Luckily the answer isn't every complex" He said as if it didn't take mathematicians hundreds of years to figure it out :D

And then there's me who has never heard of antichamber

Im not a game developer but this is the most interesting video series on youtube :P I love the insight you provide!

The math meme earned you an easy like haha, and the content is pretty well produced, thank you.

2:59 that point doesn't really work. We can't tell that thee shortest paths aren't straight lines just by looking at them, because for the space to be non Euclidian, this 2D space isn't allowed to be 3D, so any curvature into the third dimension doesn't matter. That's why using a sphere as an illustration is kinda bad. Edit. Ok I was too stupid to read the pinned comment. That already talked about that problem.

9:33 - Or they designed a virtual mirror image box. They sell these for real. Its half an image on one side of the v and mirror on the other, so it looks like a whole image, but you can have up to 4 images, one on each size.

although it has sense, that doesn't work pretty well in the final result.

dude you earned a sub from me. wow! what a compelling breakdown and stellar explanation

funny you just mentioned my 3 favorite games at the start of the video xD, i love the immersion in these trippy worlds

I was just looking for a different game to play and now I'm a phd in physics

0:46 Nazaré Tedesco rainha dos memes 🥰❤️🇧🇷

great little demos you worked up there!

in fact i tought this was a code parade video, until i saw the thumbnail, and i was happy to see your channel with a new video

As a brazilian, it's fun to see a Nazaré Tadesco(the math woman) meme.
