A quantum variant of wordle.
This is the project submitted to Quantum Game Jam 2022. During Quantum Games Hackathon, a few more features were added: "quantum" anagrams & redesigned UI.
#Credits Game design & coding & UI & background music: Raycosine. The game is also uploaded to my github page: http://raycosine.github.io/Quandle.html and on itch.io: https://raycosine.itch.io/quandle. (mobile friendly) Use SOWPODS as the word list (not all words are English words!!) Fonts (public domain) & sound effects (under CC0 license) are from the Internet. Detailed info can be found on the index page.
You'll immediately know how to play quandle if you already know some basic quantum knowledge and wordle! Watch the Game trailer on YouTube.
Consider |a>, ..., |z> as the basis "single-character" states. An n-letter "word state" looks like |qubit>, and any state on superposition can be written in the same way as quantum states: |qubit>+|qudit>, |qu>(|b>+|d>)|it>, ...For simplicity, the coefficients are not considered in this game.
The goal is to find the classical description of an n-letter word state on the superposition of k unknown words. For the example above, we need to find out the two words 'qubit' and 'qudit'.
If you choose 'Daily', the word state for each day is fixed.
You are now given all the superpositions that are anagrams: For example, 'propitiousness' and 'superpositions'. But the amplitudes are unknown. No worries, they'll be unnormalized, bounded integers. You can now modify the amplitudes to find a state close enough!
