User guide
Have you ever wonder how Rick Sanchez became a mad scientist? Play The Adventure of Rick: Grad School to find out!
Story
Once upon a time, tiny Rick received an admission letter from National University of Singapore to do graduate study in quantum computation.
You need to help tiny Rick complete all the requirements for graduation: find a supervisor, take graduate courses, do experiment, take qualifying exam (QE), go to conference, publish a paper and final defense. If not, tiny Rick will never become the mad scientist Rick Sanchez that you love.
Combat system
As a PhD student, in order to complete QE and final defense, tiny Rick needs to do experiment and collect data. You can use raw data or paper to attack the examiner.
Raw data causes 5 damage and consumes 5 data. You can transform raw data to more powerful weapons - paper, by submitting papers in a PC. APL is easier to publish but also less powerful. Nature is much more difficult to publish but also much more powerful.
