A dungeon crawler designed for a quantum computer as a series of 17000 quantum gates.
But don't worry, you can play along at home using a simulator!
- 16 different possible encounters (some friendly, some not)
- 7 different items with unique effects
- multiple endings: some good, some bad, one true
- rock/paper/scissors style combat system (but predictable if you take notes)
- ASCII art, can be played in just a terminal
- quantum puns and weird characters
- the game is represented by a 22-qubit quantum state
- each turn you can change the first 3 qubits to choose your action (handled by "run.py")
- the state is then put through the quantum circuit (given by "game.qasm") to produce the next state
- each possible measured state has a corresponding ASCII output (stored in "outputs.json")
Requires Python and Qiskit,
Qiskit can be installed easily using pip:
pip3 install qiskitDownload the latest release here, or alternatively clone this repository.
Then run "run.py" as you would a normal Python script, e.g. on Linux:
python3 run.pyYou'll have to keep track of these yourself. Ranked in order of difficulty.
Bonus points if you speedrun getting all of these.
