Click on the "Black Box" icon to start the game.
The tool can be closed by clicking on the red X on the top right part of the window. You can get context sensitive help by clicking the blue question mark symbol next to it.
With Tool Configuration you can add or remove tools in the tool bar.
The goal is to find out in which positions the five atoms are located. To do this, you can send rays into the BlackBox (click on the circles on the edge), with the results of which you should determine the positions.
The rays are deflected or absorbed at each atom (by 90 degrees). A beam can be deflected several times in the BlackBox! There are several possibilities, which can be distinguished by the colors in the clicked circle:
The beam hits exactly one atom and is absorbed. It no longer comes out of the box (in the example: beam at 12 or not drawn 4/9/30 and much more).
The jet is reflected out of the box to the same place where the jet was originally sent. There can be two reasons for this:
< span>If a jet enters the diversion range of an atom, it is reflected. The diversion range is the four spaces which lie diagonally around the atom (with the atom, they form a kind of X). When the jet enters one of these four spaces, it is diverted away from the atom. In the diagram, for example, the jet from point 21 is diverted to point 10.
Click Solve to end a game and calculate your score. The goal is to score as few points as possible. Each colored point outside counts 1 point, and each missed atom in the box scores 5 points. Thus, if you immediately guess 5 wrong atom locations and click Solve, you will score 25 points. Click Start to start a new game.
An excessively poor average with a very high number of games can, as with many single-user games, lead to promotion bans!
