Quantum Game with Photons

Quantum Game - play with photons, superposition and entanglement. In your browser! With true quantum mechanics underneath!

A note: this repository is an old Quanutm Game (2014-2016). The new one (2019-) is here: github.com/Quantum-Game. Social handles remain the same (Quantum Game with Photons, Twitter: @QuantumGameIO) - feel invited to follow us there. There is a new blog, Quantum Photon - Medium. Also: all ideas, issues and pull requests should go to the new game!

Development version

Open for collaboration! For more details, see here.

It's JavaScript, ES6. To build it you need Node.JS and jspm.io package manager.

It's open for collaboration - from level creation, through interface (re)design and adding additional effects (two-photon interference, interactions with an electron). Interested? Mail [email protected].

Installing

After installing Node.js and jspm.io, and cloning this repository:

First, install global packages:

npm install --global karma-cli

Then install local packages.

npm install
jspm install

Additionally, for development we use eslint with eslint-plugin-lodash.

Running server

Start local HTTP server in the quantum game directory (e.g. by http-server).

Running tests

karma start

Production version

Bundle it (and minify, if you want):

jspm bundle-sfx --minify app

It creates a build.js file. To run it we need a modified index.html (it is a manually-modified file, stored in bundled/index.html).

On the server, the structure of files should look as follows:

css\
favicon.ico
build.js
index.html

Docker

Alternatively, you can install dependencies using Docker.

Building

• You can build this image by running the following command in the root of this repository: docker build .
• You can also pass in a valid JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN by building like this: docker build --build-arg JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN="a_jspm_encrypted_github_token" .
  • For more information see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30995040/jspm-saying-github-rate-limit-reached-how-to-fix

Running

• If your build completes sucessfully there will be a new image ID printed at the end of the build, which you can then use to to run it: docker run -d -p 80:8080 ${IMAGE_ID_FROM_BUILD}
• or for a community built image try this: docker run -d -p 80:8080 spkane/quantum-game:latest

and then open up a web browser and point it to port 80 on your Docker host.
