Desenvolvimento de um engine de mecânica quântica para a criação de jogos interativos

Abstract

New teaching methods have been studied with great care, and with the increasing use of electronic equipment, it is easy to imagine that the implementation of methodologies that use this type of tool is also on the rise. As a result, several areas of knowledge are adopting different means for the implementation of computing within their teaching mode. This work presents a proposal for an engine for creating interactive games using concepts of quantum mechanics, in order to offer the user a tool capable of helping to create playable experiences that helped to consolidate the knowledge of basic concepts in the area. In general, the use of interactive applications generates a greater interest in the topic that is being addressed by it, so that this type of methodology allows the individual to make decisions based on their own experiences that, over time, over time, develop your intuition about the concepts involved. The implementation of the tool was based on the Schrodinger equation, which constitutes the basis of quantum mechanics and describes the behavior of a particle at the atomic level. The fast Fourier transform was used during early development as an optimization method for solving the aforementioned equations. However, after testing with this implementation, a limitation was noticed that prevented the development of certain fundamental aspects for a game, as this type of solution has an exclusively symmetrical nature. Thus, a convolutional implementation was adopted to solve the problem, thus eliminating the mentioned limitations. So far, the prototype has a series of functions that already allow the creation of an interactive interface, in addition to the simulation functionalities. With this, a game was developed to demonstrate the current features of the engine.
