About:
MagicCube4D is a fully functional four-dimensional analog of Rubik's cube plus dozens of beautiful new 4D puzzles besides just the hypercube. The image above shows the 34 puzzle in its solved state. Click on it for a simple resizable applet version that you can interact with to get a feeling for how it works. Then download the full-featured application below and try to solve it.
This is a fun little program to play with a 4-Dimensional Rubik's Cube. I've tried it and seems to work with the Java Portable Launcher.
I've duplicated the Java Portable Launcher, renamed the EXE to Magic Cube 4D, but haven't found a clever way to auto start the JAR, nor know how to edit the [embedded] icons. I was hoping someone smarter than me could package it into PA.c format. Thanks!

If you download and run the full Java Applet, it can create puzzles requiring various numbers of steps (I'm not brave enough to venture past 2 sets of rotations).
There are also dozens of other forms of 4-D puzzles using any number of sides, including an analogue of the MegaMix, or "Rubik's Dodecahedron."
I've been trying to use the PA.c Launcher without success. I'm not afraid of configuration INI--I use REACT with EAC to rip music and added a custom feature to create hash files of the ripped files and then store the original lossless images in 7-ZIP archives. Easy-peasy.
Limits are for people with no imagination.
