Curse you, Windows, for not allowing me to place animated .gifs as a desktop background...

It doesn't if you select "Set as background", but if you save it to your machine, then select it from the desktop Properties menu, it does.

Is that actually what a tesseract rotating on the fourth axis would look like in three (well, two pretending to be three) dimensions?

I love tesseracts, and I made a MOO space in the shape of one, but damn if I have trouble *visualizing* them.

I'd expect that (a tesseract, I mean) to violate a law of perspective. That just looks like a slightly stretchy framework for a donut that has its surface rolling consistently in and down and out and up.

No, that's a fairly accurate (at least as accurate as you can be with two dimensions) representation of a tesseract rotating. The "inner" cube everts to become the "outer" cube in the first half of the rotation, and is then swallowed by the new "inner" cube in the second half.
