    2:49 The dev actually said on his channel, that the main setback with the creation of this game was what engine to use. All engines are designed to run in Euclidian space, but if the premise of your game is to not run in that, than you are in trouble. So basically he had to not only design a game, but design a graphics engine, and all other support systems in house, too...

      Kinda weird as we exist in non-eucildian space, as we can exist on the surface of a sphere-like object and can have parallel lines that will meet.
      Eucildian geometry is still useful for most situations.

    Btw, when you described angles changing, they aren't actually changing.

      You CAN have a regular pentagon with 5 right angles, but not all of them are like that.
      All regular pentagons have angles that are GREATER than 108 degrees (108 is the measure of an angle in a regular pentagon in Euclidean geometry).
      So you can have a pentagon where all the angles are nearly 180 degrees, so like 179.999.
      HOWEVER, the area of the pentagon will be determined by the angles.
      It's not like Euclidean geometry where you can make a shape and then scale it up or down and maintain the angles. So a regular pentagon with all the angles equal to 179.999 would be quite huge, and one with angles of 108.001 would be very small.
      On small scales, hyperbolic and Euclidean geometry don't differ much.

    "Euclidean geometry" means "Geometry where all 5 Euclidean postulates hold true". That is you can draw a line through any 2 points, which make up a line segment, you can draw a specific circle using a line segment for a radius, all right angles are geometrically congruent and parallel line never intersect. Basically all that usually sums up to "Sum of angles in a triangle is always 180°". On a surface of a sphere, for example, the sum of angles of a triangle is always MORE than 180° (and the larger the area of the triangle - the closer it is to 360°), so surface of a sphere small enough to notice this discrepancy is a good example of a non-Euclidean geometry.
    And yeah, I do believe I feel significantly more comfortable in those than poor Euclidean Matt ^^;

  • @batfan1939

    Hyperbolica is set in a non-euclidean (you-clid-eee-in) space. Euclidean space is flat, like a sheet of paper. Spherical space curves away from you in all directions. Hyperbolic space has a saddle or Pringle shape to it. Because of this, angles appear "distorted" compared to what we expect.
    On a sphere, parallel lines always eventually cross. On a hyperbola, they diverge.
    On a sphere: the angles of a triangle always add up to a number greater than 180° (2π radians). On a hyperbola: less than 180°.
    Notable for this game is the fact that a straight line is no longer the shortest distance between points. An arc is.

Also, it isn't all FOV effects, the geometry really is different than that of Euclidean geometry. You have an infinite number of parallel lines to any one line (not possible in Euclidean geometry), curves whose points are equal distance to a line (not possible in Euclidean geometry), and places that seem small at first can actually turn out to be really big.

    I think a good way to think about it how I see it at least is if you were to print the entire world onto a stretchy fabric or like a balloon with a print on it (uniflated) everything is scrunched up but as you move around its like pressing your thumb to stretch what is around you or more so imagine a large ball forcing the "fabric" to stretch and expand around it. The ball is your perception of space.
    Basically think of it like render distance in normal video games but if everything past the normal render distance instead of not existing was just make closer and closer together and it unfolds/uncompacts as you move to it and folds/compacts as you move away.

    The best explanation I can think of is that it's an anti-sphere. If you follow the lines on the earth heading from the equator to the pole, they seem parallel at the equator, but meet up at the poles. So in a way it's as if the space between them gets shrunk as you walk along them. This is a hyperbolic space so the opposite is true. The lines that seem parallel at first, get further and further apart, so it's as if more space gets created between them. So looking into the distance, in your field of view, it seems as if the space is small, but it actually gets bigger and bigger the further you go.

      @@gregoryvatrano2981 You can have any kind of geometry (Euclidean, hyperbolic, spherical, elliptical) in any number of dimensions > 1 (in 1 dimension there are no parallel lines and all are equivalent). The 3D geometry you're used to in real life is, for practical purposes, Euclidean, though relativity says that it is in fact a non-flat geometry of non-constant curvature, which makes it none of the above.
      Edit: I got a bit carried away on a tangent, but the point I originally wanted to make was simply that Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces also exist, not just planes. This game uses a hyperbolic space whereas most games use a euclidean space, and some specific games like flight simulators might (I have no idea if they do as it might not be worth the effort) use spherical/elliptical geometry for representing the space on and above an entire planet.
      The curvature of space is locally determined by mass-energy density, with empty space having negative curvature and space with a lot of matter having positive curvature. Positive curvature corresponds to spherical/elliptical geometry, while negative curvature corresponds to hyperbolic geometry, but technically in spacetime you actually use Minkowski space, de Sitter space and anti-de Sitter space for zero, positive and negative curvature respectively. I think these are just to account for time not being quite the same as a spacial dimension.
      So locally in spacetime, geometry is not necessarily Euclidean, but since you can only get space to be so empty, strong positive curvature is much more common than strong negative curvature. For instance, black holes and other massive objects cause parallel lines going around them to intersect, which we know as gravitational lensing (and it allows us to see the same object to both sides of a black hole when it's actually behind it). But on the largest scale we can measure, the universe appears to be almost perfectly flat-that is, the density of the *entire* universe appears to be almost exactly equal to the 'critical density' that results in flat spacetime, as the parts with a lot of mass (like galaxies) are so much smaller than the massive amounts of empty space between them that they cancel out.

Here if you did that, you would still be a unit away from where you started and looking in a different direction (I think 90* rotated). Also normally the shortest difference between two points is a straight line, but here it’s a curve, and it can be really really curvy.

      All of you who are confused, look specifically at how the maze section looks compared to the overhead map of it. It's essentially the same layout as 4D space, with four 90-degree turns not actually adding up to a full 360 degrees.
      With high FOV in a normal euclidean environment, you can move forward 10 spaces, left 10 spaces, back 10 spaces and then right 10 spaces and end up at the same position you started. In this game, you'll still be 10 spaces away and facing a whole 90 degrees off without ever turning the camera.
      It's *similar* on the surface of a sphere, and technically moving around on Earth is a bit like this, but the scale makes all the difference.
      Edit to expand on it a little: try to imagine it's Minecraft, but instead of squares, it's pentagons, and the corners of the pentagons are all 90 degrees, not 108. It makes it seem weird because there's just too much surface and too high angles to fit in a flat plane, hence why it looks like a sphere, and why straight lines are actually curved (much like a 5-sided square.. or 90-degree angled pentagon, would need curved edges to be possible.)

    To make it noneuclidian you basically add more paths but keep them at right angles. If you're saying "thats impossible because there's only 4 right angles" you're right if were talking about our normal world.
    In this sense I guess you're sort of packing in more space per area, hence the extreme perspective shifts. Its likely pretty much all those paths in the forest are in fact right angles, they just don't look like it until you reach them

    a square normally has 4 90° corners. so if you walk around four corners, you will end up where you started.
    in a non-euclidean space a square has more than four 90° corners. so if you if you go around four 90° corners you will not have reached the starting point. and the further the distance you walk, the more the space can stretch.
    which is why the little path at the beginning looks short but is long and why the jungle maze is so trippy. because a square got expanded to at least a pentagram and our sense of space doesn't know how to properly compute that.
    hope that helps a little.
