        Quantum Minigolf - a computer game visualizing quantum mechanics
        ----------------------------------------------------------------

        Copyright 2007, Friedemann Reinhard, friedemann.reinhard/ens/fr

        Overview:
        ---------

        Quantum minigolf is a minigolf simulation, in which the ball
        behaves according to the laws of quantum mechanics. Such a quantum
        ball can be at several places at once and diffract around obstacles. 

        Quantum minigolf exists in two versions
         - the sofware-only version, which you have most probably in
           front of you when you read this file
         - a virtual-reality version. Here the user plays with a real
           club which is marked by an infrared LED and tracked by a
           webcam. The ball is projected to the ground by a video
           projector mounted on the ceiling. 
           Basically, the software release contains all the neccessary 
           code to build the virtual-reality version. However building
           it will not (yet) be easy, since it is not documented yet :-(

        You can find further information and the latest version of quantum
        minigolf at
        http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/quantumminigolf

        Copyright Notice:
        -----------------

        Quantum minigolf uses several GPLed libraries. Their source code can
        be found at the following locations

         * fftw3f  - the single precision (!) version of libfftw
           http://www.fftw.org/

         * SDL

        Creating Tracks:
        ----------------

        Quantum minigolf allows you to easily create your own tracks. Just
        open tracks/empty.bmp with your favorite graphics software and add
        some obstacles. Purely white obstacles (i.e. obstacles with color
        rgb(255,255,255)) are infinitely high. Gray obstacles have a finite
        height proportional to their intensity. 

        When you have finished a track, add its name in a new line of
        tracks/tracks.cfg. 

        If you want to use your new track also with the classical simulator,
        create two hard- and softcore bitmaps using the Matlab/Octave file 
        tracks/q2c.m and add their names to the tracks.cfg file. 
        If you do not create the hard- and softcore bitmaps, the quantum
        simulator will nevertheless be able to use your new track.
