Entanglion Online
A browser-based, two-player quantum-computing game enhanced with conversational AI tutoring and a reasoning AI opponent.
Project snapshot
Entanglion Online is a Unity adaptation of IBM Research’s open-source Entanglion board game, developed for an IBM watsonx hackathon. Two players cooperate to navigate a quantum state board, collect components, and use quantum gates while managing detection risk.
The project layers AI on top of the game: a conversational tutor reads live game state to explain concepts and suggest strategy, while an AI opponent evaluates moves and narrates its reasoning in natural language.
Technical highlights
- Unity multiplayer implementation with synchronized board, hand, and detection state.
- Server-authoritative networked 3D physics dice.
- Swappable AI provider abstraction for cloud, browser-local, or local model backends.
- WebGL deployment target with persistent cross-scene UI and telemetry hooks.
Development status
