> Given that there's only 174 qubytes of storage (72376 qubits total - 6986 qubits ancilla - 64Kqb screen) it's clear that almost the entire world state is in the series of gates rather than in qubits. So, like, the wall locations are probably implicit in the series of instructions rather than being data-driven, so you wouldn't be able to make a wall that was in a superposition of two places.

I'm also wondering how much of the computation is really ... quantum? I.e. is anything in superposition, phase shifted, entangled, etc.?

This looks to me like it's entirely relying on reversible classical logic gates. Impressive! But not quantum computing on its own.

Well, certainly, no computation has ever been quantum in nature or concrete reality.

I guess it’s fun to imagine or simulate though.
