Physicist Kyle Cranmer ran an AI coding experiment over the weekend, asking Claude to port a historical 4D Rubik's cube Java application into a standalone web app that runs directly in the browser.
- Background: The original 4D cube dates back to 1988 and is built on a powerful n-dimensional geometry engine.
- Features: The web port retains all 128 original puzzles and supports replaying original solve files, allowing users to experience the cube online and watch real Hall of Fame solves.
