%N Rolling cube footprints: number of n X 4 0..5 arrays starting with 0 where 0..5 label faces of a cube and every array movement to a horizontal or vertical neighbor moves across a corresponding cube edge.

%C Column 4 of A223202.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A223198/b223198.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 144*a(n-1) - 3840*a(n-2) + 24576*a(n-3).

%F Empirical g.f.: 64*x*(1 - 36*x + 256*x^2) / (1 - 144*x + 3840*x^2 - 24576*x^3). - _Colin Barker_, Aug 17 2018
