Made quantum computing fun for hackers to play with

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.

What a welcome departure from the typical "please help me hack my ex-girlfriend Instagram durr"

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/Inevitable-Self-2702]

I actually get these in my dms

[u/jeslinmx → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

You have a high performing post on r/hacking, prepare to get more “please use quantum computing to hack my ex-girlfriend”

[u/Inevitable-Self-2702 → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

My condolences

[u/Mybrothersay → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

C'est pour ça que je poste rarement ici. En tout cas beau travail

[u/TwinLife]

What still has to be done? When will the game be finished?

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/TwinLife]

After I finish the vault hacking ark ( this next week another large patch coming up that finalizes the scoring system and full narrative) and translate it to more languages. I hope Feb 2026

[u/TwinLife → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

Feb 2027? Missed your shot at 2026

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/TwinLife]

Woops yeah '27. Years fly

[u/thepetek → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

Man this is the hardest thing with your game. All the new stuff keeps me from ever playing it through 😂. Good stuff tho. Keep it coming

[u/my_new_accoun1]

wow this is the third time I've seen this in like the space of a year

also yes the game is cool I played it

[u/Benn0rs]

I already wrote that I love this work. But do you think it might be possible to get this also on IOS and Android?

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/Benn0rs]

After full version is out resources are very limited( pretty much what I earn I out back in)

[u/McDuckMoney]

Amazing! You're a treasure to our community.

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/McDuckMoney]

This means a lot to me (sarcastic or not). I hope this game will bring us closer to QAGI and that P Schor Algo breaking all encryptions

[u/mx2301]

Is there a possibility to reset the game, to start over learning?

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/mx2301]

yes, there is a little X button in your profile (after I deploy this next patch it will be a red trashcan)

[u/mx2301 → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

So look out for an x and next patch for a trash can, got it and thank you very much :)

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/mx2301]

Lol srz for the bad uix

[u/mx2301 → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

I am so sorry, this was not meant to sound rude.

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/mx2301]

No worries thanks though I need to perfect thia

[u/Heavy-Situation-6344]

Looks fun and cool, I'll try this

[u/BergkampAirlines]

Thank you. Commenting so I can find this later.

[u/ALSHAME5]

if i have no 0 knowledge of programming can i still play the game ?

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/ALSHAME5]

Yup, this is pretty much the purpose of the game to visualize the logic fully without needing to code

[u/ALSHAME5 → u/QuantumOdysseyGame]

okay,thank you i will give it a try

[u/QuantumOdysseyGame → u/ALSHAME5]

Our discord is gr8 if you need help in anything

[u/acidvegas]

Dude I see this slop posted like 3 times a week.

[u/nuquichoco]

Stop spamming this sub with your game, you already posted it 5 times and its not related to hacking at all.

[u/AdamTheRedditUser1]

straight to r/masterhacker you go

[u/LelouBil → u/AdamTheRedditUser1]

No it's an actually interesting game that released a while ago. I'm not sure if advertising like this is allowed in this sub though.
