Brilliance (a Laser Game)

[Chronos]

Something I came up with in my spare time. I remember way back when Algodoo first came out, Conundrumer made a scene with lasers that bent. The way he did it was simple: he turned down the laser's speed of light and used attraction to bend it.

That concept is used here. You have to position balls to guide the laser. It sounds easy, right? Wrong. I had of hell of a time trying to make it possible, so those who try it will be in for a fun time.

Enough is explained in the levels that I don't need to explain anything here. If you successfully beat the challenge par, feel free to post a screenshot (or scene) of the balls in place.

Does the laser still have to be visible when it hits the gray ball? It fades every time it bounces, so it's almost impossible to get it there at all—the balls alone can't bend it a full 180deg. However, if I'm allowed to set the walls to refractiveIndex = +inf, I can do it with only 1 of the balls, basically just by bending the laser to a ~45deg left of vertical angle and letting it bounce.

It seems to me that that's kinda cheating, but it could be made a lot easier if the balls had just a little more attraction (or the laser speed-of-light were lower). You could say "easy: SOL x m/s; hard: SOL .75x m/s".

[Chronos]

Well it's possible to do with it bouncing off only one wall. Are you using the balls in the correct order?

[Mr. crash]

Can you place the circles inside the walls?

[Chronos]

Yeah, you can also place them outside the field if you need to, but you shouldn't to beat the level.

Also, second level.
