What it is
A lamp shines a straight beam across a room of walls and crystals. You have just enough mirrors (/ and \) to steer it. Light one crystal at first, then several in number order, with fixed mirrors you have to work around. Each room's mirror count is the true minimum, found by searching every possibility, and any placement that works is accepted.
What children learn
Builds spatial reasoning and planning: predicting how a ray reflects, working backwards from a target, and ordering several goals along one path.
What it teaches
- Spatial reasoning
- State and sequencing
How to play
Tap an empty square to place a / mirror, tap again for \, and a third time to remove it. Keyboard: arrow keys move the cursor, Enter or Space cycles the mirror, Delete removes it, and T traces the beam. Press Fire to check.
