Project information

This project was made during the 2 days of the Quantum Internet Hackathon 2022. The aim of this project is to develop an educational game concept for giving people a possibilities to interact with quantum states.

Try the game

The game commands for the Mario are:

• up-arrow: jump
• left-arrow: left
• right-arrow: right
• p: project the quantum state (J jump, N not jump)

The game commands for the Demogorgon are:

• w: jump
• a: left
• d: right
• q: project the quantum state (L left, R right)

Lore

You can read the comics HERE.

This is the lore in 6 simple steps:

• Eleven seals the Demogorgon inside the upside-down with a quantum-mechanic book.
• Demogorgon studies the book to go back in Eleven's world and he became a scientist.
• Demogorgon opens a portal to the wrong world, the Mario's one.
• Peach, that know about quantum mechanics, tells to Mario how the two words are interconnected and both Mario and Demogorgon are entangled in the movements.
• Mario decided to fight the Demogorgon running for destroying Demogorgon's laboratory.
• Demogorgon runs to across the portal before Mario can do that.

Code

The repo has two applications app and demo. You can use demo for testing the game. The app was done to integrate the game with the netsquid simulator. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to merge in time the API (developed for the netsquid) with the game.
