Algodoo

How were you able to count the beam when it strikes both surfaces of a segment? I tried using e.normal but no matter what I did I could not make it work. So, I ended up using two separate sections per mirror -- One for the front and one for the rear.

I found out the hard way that an Algodoo laser or geometry doesn't see multiple reflections on a single object. I then figured that 2 boxes per mirror should work but before doing that I decided to check what you did, which was the same thing. Subsequently I made the Laser Hits Counter scene which uses a binary search method to determine the laser hits. This method could be used for multiple reflections on a single object. Another approach would be to increase the maxRays when the sensor is not hit and decrease the max rays when the sensor is hit.

Good ideas! I'll have to play around with them. The nice thing about Algodoo is the fact that there are more ways than one to skin a politician.
