It shouldn't belong to a select few. Crave deep games that scratch the optimization itch? This non-linear, story-driven open-ended puzzle universe runs on the actual laws of of quantum physics. This game respects your intelligence and its complexity ranges from fully guided tutorials designed for absolute beginners to brutal quantum-algorithm puzzles that takes days to solve and asynchronous PvP battles where anything can happen. Every mechanic, story beat, and puzzle trains real, in-demand skills used in Quantum Information Science. Runs on a unique quantum simulator that turns multi-qubit math into intuitive visuals Built by experts, NOT AI This decade-long project is developed by the scientists behind the key papers that defined "Quantum Literacy." It is a research-backed game that teaches counterintuitive quantum thinking the way humans learn best: quietly in the background, while you’re immersed in an addictive, fully interactive sandbox. NO AI was used at any stage of its development or in the writing; we stand firmly against the use of generative AI in any creative work. What to expect 100+ hours of content: 70+ modules, 500+ visual puzzles, 300+ pages of interactive encyclopedia Asynchronous PvP: hack other players creations, make content, climb zachlike leaderboards Full sandbox mode: build any classical or quantum system, import to visualize any algorithm Boolean logic: bits, classical operators, adders and how to port to quantum equivalents Turing-complete quantum logic: qubits, complex numbers, linear algebra, custom gates All phenomena: superposition, interference, entanglement, measurement effects, noise All techniques: phase kickback, amplitude amplification, phase-to-signal retrieval Famous Algorithms: Deutsch–Jozsa, Bernstein–Vazirani, Grover’s Search, QFT Everything is learned from scratch, in full detail, through gameplay alone. This goes deeper than classes, textbooks, or exercises ever could because you are free to interact in any way you please with the quantum phenomena you learn. Our Promise Finish the game and you'll be able to separate quantum hype from reality, know where quantum computing excels at (and where it doesn't), read field papers with confidence, form your own informed views on the technology. Most importantly, you will be able to design and think up your own quantum algorithms for any problem you choose. The industry desperately needs people from diverse backgrounds to think of new solutions. This game equips you to be one of them.

SOLVE PUZZLES The main content of the game involves trying to match a reference object by working out code that will replicate it. There is no "right answer", if your code produces the same object, it's correct! PLAY AROUND You can always open the voxel tool in "free edit" mode and just play around, making whatever you want. In addition to the main 3D voxel editor, there is also a bonus 2D image editor for writing code to generate 2D images and GIF animations. You can even save your image creation as the background image in the "OS" interface of the game! JOIN THE COMMUNITY Every puzzle has 2 leaderboards, measuring source code size, and execution efficiency. Often optimizing for one will be at the expense of the other. If you enjoy trying to squeeze a bit more out of your code, the leaderboards are waiting! There is also an in-game online forum where players can share their own voxel creations, and even challenge other players to try to recreate them, all presented in an old-school online forum wrapper. EXPORT YOUR CREATIONS Generated 3D voxel objects can be exported into common formats to bringing into other 3D creation tools. Generated 2D images and animations can also be exported as png or gif for sharing online. Walaber Entertainment games are made by humans, for humans, without the use of generative AI technologies.

Rotate and reposition mirrors to connect light sources and unlock adjacent puzzles. Every pulse is moving to the beat at all times, and each puzzle is connected to the next. Explore this strange interconnected space, learn its rules, and discover the surprises that dwell within. Rather than ordinary light beams, however, these pulses can and will collide with each other. Create new colours, deflect them in new directions, and pay attention to their timing to unlock the path to new puzzles. Along the way you'll encounter a wide array of components which interact in unique and surprising ways. You might even discover you can pass pulses and components between puzzles. Prisms, glitches, new types of mirrors, and more lurk in the depths. For example, the filters which remove colours from pulses that pass over them. To match the otherworldly, retro, neon aesthetic, SOLAS is scored with a one of a kind synthwave soundtrack to which the entire game is synchronized. FEATURES Over 150 interlocking puzzle screens A beautiful synth-inspired visual style with a story where music powers everything Designed from the ground up to be colourblind-friendly A seamless world to navigate - changes in one room will affect those that follow An original synth/chillwave soundtrack Hidden areas to discover, and secrets to decypher No text or dialogue: the visuals and music speak for themselves SOLAS is a game based around the combination and separation of these pulses, but has been designed from the ground up to not be reliant only on colour. SOLAS’ glyphs each have a unique shape and profile, and there are customisable contrast settings, making it accessible to colour-blind players. CREATORS Amicable Animal : A one-person studio — part-time lecturer, part-time games developer, full-time tea drinker. He loves combining old-school mechanics with minimalist, modern game design. SOLAS is his first commercial game. Jamesy Downie : The musician behind the synthwave sound of SOLAS. Obsessed with everything 80s and VHS related, he created a soundtrack that relaxes, and hints at an underlying darkness. Steven McSeveney : Sound Designer and all-round audio nerd; he creates immersive sonic experiences to bring worlds to life. He created the sound effects for SOLAS, marrying the neon-rich visuals with the game's synth-fuelled soundtrack.

Don’t worry: it all plays out as a puzzle game. No coding experience required! Train yourself into a data science wizard! Drag objects around your screen with a mouse! Connect them with lines (oh yeah)! Try. Fail. Optimize. Try again. Then press “Release” button and see that sweet pieces of data flow smoothly through your screen. Embrace an adventurous lifestyle of a machine learning specialist! Designing a groundbreaking technology requires time, experience and money. That means you’ll have to work as a freelancer, with all the excitement that comes along with it. Receive emails! Accept contracts! Sit alone in a dark room for days without saying a single word! Socialize on forums! That’s what real data scientists do! Coding just got real! Our quests are based on actual problems, solved by machine learning. This includes building a self-driving car (with your cat as a pilot). And if you really want to test your programming might, you can become a CTO of a startup: it’s your skills and your schemes against the savage laws of the market! Earn a fortune, flip off your bosses and become a tech guru… Or lose everything and crawl back to the doorstep of HR department: at least it was worth trying, right? Improve your gear, improve your life! Once you ensure a stable cashflow, you’ll be able to buy yourself a bunch of fancy hardware to improve your performance. But it’s not just about the hardware! Buy yourself a new smartphone or a geeky figurine! Buy fancy outfits for your cat! Hell, you can even buy yourself an aloe! Fun fact: this is what machine learning specialists actually do. Now, you can become one of them (minus the money)! while True: learn () is the best game about being a data science specialist because no one else has been weird enough to make another one!

Rotate and reposition mirrors to connect light sources and unlock adjacent puzzles. Every pulse is moving to the beat at all times, and each puzzle is connected to the next. Explore this strange interconnected space, learn its rules, and discover the surprises that dwell within. Rather than ordinary light beams, however, these pulses can and will collide with each other. Create new colours, deflect them in new directions, and pay attention to their timing to unlock the path to new puzzles. Along the way you'll encounter a wide array of components which interact in unique and surprising ways. You might even discover you can pass pulses and components between puzzles. Prisms, glitches, new types of mirrors, and more lurk in the depths. For example, the filters which remove colours from pulses that pass over them. To match the otherworldly, retro, neon aesthetic, SOLAS is scored with a one of a kind synthwave soundtrack to which the entire game is synchronized. FEATURES Over 150 interlocking puzzle screens A beautiful synth-inspired visual style with a story where music powers everything Designed from the ground up to be colourblind-friendly A seamless world to navigate - changes in one room will affect those that follow An original synth/chillwave soundtrack Hidden areas to discover, and secrets to decypher No text or dialogue: the visuals and music speak for themselves SOLAS is a game based around the combination and separation of these pulses, but has been designed from the ground up to not be reliant only on colour. SOLAS’ glyphs each have a unique shape and profile, and there are customisable contrast settings, making it accessible to colour-blind players. CREATORS Amicable Animal : A one-person studio — part-time lecturer, part-time games developer, full-time tea drinker. He loves combining old-school mechanics with minimalist, modern game design. SOLAS is his first commercial game. Jamesy Downie : The musician behind the synthwave sound of SOLAS. Obsessed with everything 80s and VHS related, he created a soundtrack that relaxes, and hints at an underlying darkness. Steven McSeveney : Sound Designer and all-round audio nerd; he creates immersive sonic experiences to bring worlds to life. He created the sound effects for SOLAS, marrying the neon-rich visuals with the game's synth-fuelled soundtrack.

SOLVE PUZZLES The main content of the game involves trying to match a reference object by working out code that will replicate it. There is no "right answer", if your code produces the same object, it's correct! PLAY AROUND You can always open the voxel tool in "free edit" mode and just play around, making whatever you want. In addition to the main 3D voxel editor, there is also a bonus 2D image editor for writing code to generate 2D images and GIF animations. You can even save your image creation as the background image in the "OS" interface of the game! JOIN THE COMMUNITY Every puzzle has 2 leaderboards, measuring source code size, and execution efficiency. Often optimizing for one will be at the expense of the other. If you enjoy trying to squeeze a bit more out of your code, the leaderboards are waiting! There is also an in-game online forum where players can share their own voxel creations, and even challenge other players to try to recreate them, all presented in an old-school online forum wrapper. EXPORT YOUR CREATIONS Generated 3D voxel objects can be exported into common formats to bringing into other 3D creation tools. Generated 2D images and animations can also be exported as png or gif for sharing online. Walaber Entertainment games are made by humans, for humans, without the use of generative AI technologies.

But most… while True: learn () is a puzzle/simulation game about even more puzzling stuff: machine learning, neural networks, big data and AI. But most importantly, it’s about understanding your cat. In this game, you play as a coder who accidentally found out that their cat is extremely good at coding, but not as good at speaking human language. Now this coder (it’s you!) must learn all there is to know about machine learning and use visual programming to build a cat-to-human speech recognition system.
