4D gaming


4D gaming is the kind that plays itself, right?

I believe we've got that on PC a long time ago.

It's called Progress Quest. (dot com)

Let me first warn you of trying it out. It is very addicting.


the 4th dimension is time. That is, time actually progresses during the game. For example, if there was a glass of water in the hot sun then as time progresses the water would evaporate, and if you played the game long enough you would see the erosion of the land etc. There is no game that is truly 4d; you get games which go from day to night, etc, but no game is really 4d.


There is, it's called Dwarf Fortress.


as long as there is no transmission of temperature i dont care what the sun does to water. and would you check back in abou 1000000 years to see whether the mountain really has eroded by 2 meters? Kind of pointless. Time that works just fine can be seen in majoras mask or i heard animal crossing has cool xmas parties.
