Description of the game
QuanTom and Jerry is an educational game that merges the classic cat-and-mouse chase with the puzzling principles of quantum mechanics. Based on the mysterious workings of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this game tasks you with locating Jerry while anticipating his next move. But remember, in the quantum realm, having clarity in one means uncertainty in the other.

How is your game related to quantum physics?
It simplifies and explains the Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty by increasing the position uncertainty of the mice at a more constant velocity, and increasing the velocity randomness when the position of the mouse is more certain.

How is your game related to the theme (e)motion?
We are using the uncertainty principle to display the emotion of frustration, confusion and also suspence and curiosity. It also relates to the theme of motion as we are dealing with the uncertainty in velocity of objects, and their position, which involves a lot of movement of these objects.

Great use of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Game. As Mentor of Jam and Game-Set-Quanta, I love this game and team can seek grants/seed to grown themselves as Quantum Games Startup.
