About Quantum Tetris

Note: Part 1 features Superposition and Measurement mechanics, while Part 2 features Tunneling and Entanglement.

Tetris with a quantum twist! Winner of the Year of Quantum Arcade Game Jam!

The rules are as follows:

Superposition
Superposition means a quantum object can be in multiple states at the same time until something forces it to pick one.
Example: A qubit can be 0 and 1 at once.
In this game, the Tetris blocks can be in multiple places at once, as shown in the game with the different percentages and squares.

Measurement
Measurement is what happens when you observe or check the quantum object.
When you measure it, the superposition collapses and the object is forced to choose one definite state.
in this game, it causes the Tetris block to stop in the exact place where you hit space.

Tunneling
Tunneling is a phenomenon where a particle can pass through a barrier or wall it normally shouldn’t be able to cross according to classical physics. t’s like magically appearing on the other side without breaking any laws within it’s own realm.
In this game, tunneling causes the Tetris block to pass through the entire board, effectively making them a breathing point for you as they hold no effect.

Entanglement
Entanglement is a connection between two or more quantum objects where the state of one instantly affects the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. Changing one automatically influences the other.
In this game, the next two blocks that are supposed to appear can merge into a single block, effectively skipping one block drop and giving you one larger, combined block.
