Description of the game
An action strategy based game with a theme of preventing a quantum computer from incoming heatwaves by applying quantum principles.

This game is about teaching about the fascinating concepts of quantum mechanics while trying to cool down a scorching heatwave.

Instructions: // This game is designed to work on Windows + Mac laptops/desktops only//

The game UI consists of a grid representing a Quantum computer suffering from a severe heatwave. Objective of the game is to strategically place quantum coolers on the grid to cool down and bring relief to the computer. If the heatwaves strike the computer, the game is over.

1. Control the forward and backward movement of the quantum computer using your arrow keys on your keyboard and the mouse to rotate the computer to point in the direction of the incoming heatwaves.
2. Fire shots at the incoming heatwaves using Left Ctrl button (Windows) and using Touchpad Click (MAC).
3. If the heatwave touches the Computer, the game is over.
4. To restart the game, press the spacebar key (for now, just reload the page as you wont see the quantum computer on game reload)
Your task is to strategically place quantum coolers on the grid to cool down and bring relief to the computer.
Quantum coolers have the unique ability to exploit quantum phenomena to cool down the surrounding area. However, they have limited range and can only cool down cells within a specific radius.
To place a quantum cooler, simply click on an empty cell on the grid. The cooler will activate and start cooling down the nearby buildings.
As you progress through the game, you will encounter different challenges, such as limited resources or obstacles that block the cooler's range.
Use your quantum knowledge wisely to overcome these challenges and cool down as much as possible.

How is your game related to quantum physics?
It uses the principles of quantum mechanics to teach in an innovative way why heat dissipation is so important to maintain the coherence of qubits on a quantum computer. The game also provides the ability for the players to overcome the challenges and cool down the computer as much as possible by using the quantum mechanics principles.

How is your game related to the theme (e)motion?
It keeps the player motivated under fear of losing the game because of the constant incoming heatwaves moving towards the quantum computer, The player must apply quantum science principles to dissipate the heat quickly and apply learnt techniques to stay alive in the game.
