 | | The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture with an interest in geometry and the study of 3D forms. | | | Some cubes have also been commercially produced with markings on all of the squares, such as the Lo Shu magic square or playing card suits. | | | When the cube is unscrambled apart from the orientations of the central squares, there will always be an even number of squares requiring a quarter turn. |

| | Modeling/Sculpting Project: Gelatinous Cube |
| | I don't know which I'm going to use for the final cubes yet; it depends on how each of them takes color. | | | As with the corner, ther's enough clearance to let it slide through, though (because of geometry) less so than a straight tunnel. | | | One of the othe gelatinous cube designers mentioned that the clay he used could be smoothed out with water once the model was finished and dried to give the final result a nice clear and smooth texture. |

| | Sacred geometry -- What Is It? |
| | Many Gothic cathedrals were built using proportions derived from the geometry inherent in the cube and double-cube; this tradition continues in modern Christian churches to the present time. | | | The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosohical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in various cultures during the course of human history. | | | Not everyone who catalogues and writes about sacred geometry considers geometry itself to be inherently spiritual; for some of us, sacred geometry is an adjunct to the study of archaeology, architecture, art history, comparative religion, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, or geometry itself. |

| | Read This: A History of Geometrical Methods |
| | Then, for later elementary geometry, there is discussion of further work on methods of construction as, for example, the problem of Apollonius, the trisection of angle, duplication of the cube and circle constructions of Mohr and Mascheroni and consideration of Poncelet's constructions with ruler and circle. | | | Synthetic geometry is covered in about the first one hundred pages; algebraic geometry attracts the greatest attention with about half the text devoted to it (200 pages) and a historical discussion of the methods of differential geometry fills the last quarter of the book. | | | Also under the banner of synthetic geometry, the chapter on projective geometry begins with a description of the work of Desargues and culminates with discussion of the methods used by Steiner and von Staudt, although there is very little mention of the axiomatic basis. |

| | OpenGL alpha Blending |
| | But if you had a cube and the texture had an alpha circle in the middle of each face (a hole), that geometry on the cube where the 'hole' is still gets written to depth buffer. | | | Now because you're not writing to the depth buffer when drawing alpha geometry, when drawing successive alpha geometry you can not depth test against previously drawn alpha geometry, so you also need to sort the drawing order of the alpha geometry manualy. | | | So, you turn off *writing* to the depth buffer when drawing any geometry that uses alpha textures, AND, you draw the alpha geometry last. |

| | Sauerbraten has an even simpler world model than cube (fewer exceptions, just one kind of building block), is quicker to edit geometry with, yet allows for significantly greater class of shapes. | | | Much like cube, the aim of this engine is not to produce the most eyecandy possible, but rather allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, and make map editing a lot of fun. | | | One way to see the transition from Cube to Sauerbraten is to say Cube was a 2-directional heightfield (floor and ceiling), and Sauerbraten is a 6-directional heighfield (heighfields can be modeled in all 6 directions). |

| | This particular geometry, a cube with inverting mirrors for faces, is one possible geometry for the complement of the Borromean rings. | | | It's another geometry you can get from the complement of the Borromean rings by using a different kind of 'mirror.' Regular mirrors on the faces of a cube produce cubic images that tile space, and similarly non-Euclidean mirrors on the faces of a dodecahedron produce dodecahedral images that tile non-Euclidean space. | | | It means that when you perform all the inverting reflections, the images of the lines on the cubes fit together so that they stretch away to infinity, just as the Borromean rings do after we push the U-bends off to infinity. |
