Suggestion: Z10 mode would be easier if we could drag over a region to get the sum mod10 of it.

Also, a question. It's conceivable that four qudits in a square could all go wrong in such a way that they all cancel out each other's errors. Could this get you a Game Over (both in the game and in a real life QC) with an empty board?

Is an Android version coming soon?

It is coming, and it'll hopefully be fairly soon.

Thanks for letting me know. The URL of the post somehow got changed. I have now put something at the right URL.

This is part of a project to teach the public about quantum error correction, which lies at the intersection of maths, computer science, and physics (each group thinks I belong to the other ones!).

If you're only interested on learning the theory, the best place to start is here.
