Quantum Minesweeper

Inspiration

After attending a few workshops at Carolina Quantum Hacks 2024

What it does

It's a normal game of Minesweeper, but with quantum mines! The mines are in a superposition between a mine and not a mine, so if you click on it, it measures the superposition, meaning that you have a 50% chance of the mine detonating and ending your game.

How we built it

We built it using Python

Challenges we ran into

Implementing a half chance and making sure that the mine count and the flag count were updated in case one of the mines did not detonate.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the half-chance detonation right

What we learned

We learned how to work together as a team, make a workable game in Python, and implement probabilistic detonation into game functions

What's next for Quantum Minesweeper

Possibly add quantum flags, a power up where you can flag a random square around a normal flag, and that can defuse both mines, making it easier for you
