I actually see a lot of use for a multiple dimension engine(beyond 3). Think about how awesome it would be for a spooky video game to have a haunted house that exists in 4-dimensional space. Or in a sci-fi space ship game you can have some sort of ray gun that temporairily makes part of the arena more than 3 spacial dimensions(totally disorientating players in online games!)

You could very well be correct about time and space being EXACTLY the same concept but I'm not really sure. Also, including time as an actual dimension in a video game(the way we think it is in real life) might be useful in a simulator but totally pointless and hinderous in a sci-fi shooter. Also I remember the equations for time dilation and Lorentez contraction be very similar if not the same. About the dimensions being wrapped, I remember reading(I think in Brian Greene's book The Elegant Universe) that the theorys state wrapped up dimensions can actually expand. I personally think it would be awesome to see something along the lines of this in a sci-fi shooter video game)
Note: Time Dilation is the difference of time experience by a stationary observer watching an object in relative motion. Lorentez contraction is the shrinking of objects to an observer as they go faster. You might want to google these for a more exact and probably more correct explanation.
