Agreed, this is SUPER disappointing. I started reading your blog post on the train this morning and was SO excited, because I've also been self-studying QM/QED lately, and your description so closely mirrored my experiences. So imagine my excitement when I saw that you'd made a game as a way of developing an intuition—a really fantastic idea, and one I had been thinking of myself! And yet I have effectively no way of even seeing it! Not even the code?!?! :((((

So its annoying enough for you to type a 300 word complaint, but not annoying enough to change your browser configuration? Only on hacker news I guess...

  Well, on my end, it would involve installing another browser and changing it's config. Not doing that, thanks.

    Exactly.

  Well, the thing is, Java applets are against my religion.

Believe me, it's not as disappointing for you as it is for me. When I started this hobby project, Chrome supported Java and a sandboxed/signed applet would be trusted without needing any security warnings or change of configuration. :(

  Do you intend to put the code on github? Because I'd love to help out porting it to javascript. Browser-native is the only way to go if you want any kind of engagement :) Porting would also be a potentially helpful way for me to understand some of the concepts.

    I may well do though at this stage I'm still considering it all experimental and not quite release ready. Thank you for the offer though and I'll let you know if I do. I know another interested chap so we have a little team already if I do go that way!

    Righty, I open sourced it. Want to play? https://github.com/fiftysevendegreesofrad/quantum/wiki/Quantum-Marble-Maze https://github.com/fiftysevendegreesofrad/quantum/wiki/Quant...
