Opticks w/ Laser&Mirror&Prism (alt. Optics/Optik)

Game Introduction

In the future you will be able to chose color of laser, and refraction in prisms will be different depending on color. Bugs: Several beams in different prisms or one beam moving inside several prisms is buggy due to that prism-properties are only sent when entering the first prism. I have noticed that exit of beam from the short-side when n1=4 sometimes refract in the wrong direction.

How To Play

Click a green flag to start, then click ON to switch on the laser. Move the laser and the optical elements using drag 'n drop. You can rotate an object if you press R before or while single-clicking an object, and click again (w/o pressing a keyboard-key) to stop rotating towards the mouse-pointer. Clone the objects by single-clicking them. You can delete a cloned object if you press X while single-clicking the object. Set the refractive index of the fluid using the slider. The prisms have refractive index 1.5 for red light. You can observe total reflection. The shift-status (R or X or none) can be seen below the refractive index. The shift-status resets itself to none after some seconds but you can reset it manually by pressing space. You can toggle mute by pressing M. Sound is on from start i.e. after green flag. Exercises: 1. Build a parabolic mirror using four plane mirrors and use four lasers to shine parallel light that is reflected to a focus. All beams should meet at the same time at the focus. 2. Build a bent optical fiber using prisms and shine light in both directions.
