Quantum Game with Photons

Released: 2025-01-07
Quantum Game is a simple and creative browser-based puzzle game that makes use of terminologies from quantum mechanics in the game.

The game contains photon sources to emit photon particles, rocks that act as an obstacle, mirrors to deflect the photon particle, and a photon detector that receives the photon particle.

The trick is to arrange the mirror in such a way that the photon particle emitted from the photon source should reach the photon detector evading the rocks. This game is developed using a simple HTML5 layout and JavaScript with CSS and sound plugins.

How to play
Gameplay Tips

Use mirrors at precise angles to redirect photons around rocks and toward the detector. Plan your mirror placement in advance to avoid dead ends where photons can't reach the detector. Experiment with multiple mirror placements to find the optimal path for each level.

Game Features

Quantum Game with Photons is a browser-based puzzle game that uses quantum mechanics concepts to create a unique challenge. Players must guide photon particles from a source to a detector by strategically placing mirrors to reflect their path. The game features obstacles in the form of rocks that block the photons' path, requiring careful planning to avoid them. The physics of light reflection is central to solving each level, where the photons must travel a precise route to reach the detector. The game is built with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, and includes sound effects to enhance the experience. It was initially released in beta in June 2016 and is supported by the eNgage III/2014 grant.
