It has been replaced by the more general "Polytopes" +screen saver, which can display this object as well as others. The +Polytopes "120-cell" object corresponds to this one. + Hyperball is to hypercube as dodecahedron is to cube: this displays a 2D projection of the sequence of 3D objects which are the projections of the 4D analog to the dodecahedron.
