Describe the game, the mission and the connection to quantum physics
P(O+I)NG is pong with spatial superposition. It hopes to drive home atleast some of the following points. In a superposition a particle can be assigned to multiple positions but it can ever be somewhere once (you still can't be in two places). Superpositions have more structure than just having the probability to exist or not exist to certain degree. Two paddles spread the opposite way have the same statistical averages but are not equivalent for ball back hitting purposes. Everettian approach that the wavefunction never collapses. It doesn't collapse on touch, it doesn't collapse on winning a ball. We only here collapse the wavefunction to declare a winner. It is said tht nobody experiences a superposition so this is one attempt to cheat and imagine what it would be like.

Qunatum da Vinci cause its an actor working over multiple possiblities making for an evocative connection with the multihanded man image.

Quantum generation because pong was one for the very first video games. With a very controlled environment and making everythign have game motivation actual explicit theory dumps are unneeded and even undesirable. This could function as a foundation to a approach where quantum is an experienced facet of the world rather than a theory and tale requiring extensive terminology or rigid adherence to fragile representation hierarchies.
