Make a quantum game with Qiskit and PICO-8 based on the Quantum Shooter game I made in a game jam in September.
Description
Quantum shooter is polarity shoot 'em up game inspired by Ikaruga. Your ship and its bullets have two different polarities: blue and red, so as your enemies. When your bullet has different color from the enemies', it deals bonus damage (2x). And your ship is immune to enemies' bullet of the same color.
The idea of the project is to fill the existing game with quantum physics and Qiskit! Here are some ideas:
The two polarities can be treated as eigenstates in two different bases, for example, Z basis (|0>/|1>) or X basis (|+>/|->).
The bullets can be quantum gates (X gate or H gate). X gate can only attack enemies with Z basis state and H gate can only attack enemies with X basis states.
