Nim game

Running the game

To run the program just launch : python3 game.py

Rules

This game is inspiring from the Nim game. You are 2 players face to face, you have 11 sticks in front of you :

          \o/
           |
          / \
#######################
 | | | | | | | | | | | 
#######################
          \ /
           |
          /o\

The goal is NOT take the last stick !! Originally, this game can be automatize by classical computer to always loose again a computer or against someone knowing the strategy. But what happens if we implement quantum rules ?

Like the original game each player can take 1 to 3 sticks each turn but this time, they can say if they want to take the stick normally, put it in superposition or creating an entanglement between this stick and the sticks previously on the board (played before) :

Symbols table	name	means	action possible ?
\|	stick left	a simple sticks	any action
/	superposition stick	sticks in states : \|0> + \|1>	no action (only here for info)
¬	entangle stick	the faith of this stick depends of the previous one	no action (only here for info)
[ ]	blank space	the previous stick has been fully taken	an cx action can be done with if it's not the first turn of the circuit generation

Here each stick correspond to a qubit at the |0> state.

Robin apply an x gate the 11th stick
Robin apply an h gate to the 10th stick

Batman apply a cx to the 9th stick (now the 9th stick is automatically link with the 10th)
Batman apply a x gate to the 8th stick
Batman apply a x gate to the 7th stick

6 sticks in board : | | | | | |

etc ...

2 sticks left : | | ¬
Robin choose 1 sticks

Robin apply an x gate to the 2nd stick

1 sticks left : |
Batman choose 1 sticks

Batman apply an x gate to the last stick

When it doesn't have a stick anymore we run the circuit we create with the gates and get the result, for each qubit still at the state |0> we had 1 stick left. Then we continue wit the sticks remaning until we don't have stick at all after running the circuit.
