I have a beautiful animation of a tesseract on an old drive somewhere I kept, back in the animated gif days, I'd look at it now and then in wonder. Reminds me of the same extraordinary feelings about the beauty of the universe with this clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/TGuxwgUyu2A?si=knDzBVqTaZ4oqMEj

I've got a rotating tesseract demo up on CodePen[1]. At least, I think its a rotating tesseract - I have no idea if it's an accurate representation because tesseracts lead me into thinking about quaternions and then my brain shuts down.

Thanks! I took your code and modified a bit to remind me of what I had saved years ago. Not quite right but closer.

Careful around complex numbers!

BTW poetically enough, codepen has a tesseract for a logo.
