hypercube

this is a screensaver for computers running SGI IRIX, which renders a 4-dimensional rotating hypercube projected into 3d space.

it is written using IRIS GL, and developed on an SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.30. i expect it should compile and run without issue on earlier versions.

hypercube is available under the MIT-0 license.


you can obtain the sources here.
compile using `make`, and install with `make DESTDIR=/usr install` as root.
you will then find it in the screen savers control panel.
you can also run it with the command `hypercube`, located in `$(DESTDIR)/sbin/`.
here is a screenshot of it in action, running inside a window:
