Quantum Dogfight pits two players against each other in a strategic guessing game set on a hexagonal grid, blending principles of quantum mechanics with interactive gameplay. Dive into the fun of learning superposition and measurement collapse as you outwit your opponent.
About this game
Superposition
Quantum Dogfight is a guessing strategy game centered around the quantum mechanical principle of superposition. At the beginning of each game both players place their planes in two distinct locations, as shown below.
Guessing Locations
The core gameplay of Quantum Dogfight is turn-based guessing of each player's plane locations. While in superposition, both locations of a plane can be 'attacked', with the goal of successfully attacking all locations of either locations.
Measurement Collapse
While attacking your opponent's hex tiles is the way to win, players must also monitor their own board and strategically choose when to invoke a 'measurement collapse'. This action begins a measurement like shown below, which probabilistically chooses one of the two superposition locations to be final location of the plane. Players will want to utilize measurement collapses to confuse their opponent, but be warned, just like in quantum machanics you can't control probability!
Learning Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Dogfight was designed with young STEM-oriented students in mind, providing a fun and interactive way to learn about elements of quantum mechanics. Found within Quantum Dogfight is a learning module which helps students understand how principles of quantum mechanics are woven into the mechanics of the game.
Ways to Play

Launch Announcement
Quantum Dogfight version 1 is now available! Big shoutout to AFRL for supprting this side project of mine, I hope it finds its way to many a STEM camps and helps young students learn about quantum mechanics. If there are notable bugs or glitches, please email and I will work to make sure Quantum Dogfight always remains playable. Quality of life improvements to expect over time: - Mac version (soon) - More learning modules - More game mechanics, planes, maps, etc. - More sound effects / music - Updated artworkRead full article on Community Announcements (Μǿşęş)
