• None - passes straight through eg 3rd segment left or right aka opposite segment

  Never reflects backwards

Setup

• Players each choose a blink and detach it from the cluster.
• Long press the blink so it becomes an emitter.
• Choose prefered color by single clicking their emitter repeatedly.
• Reattach the blink to the cluster.

Game play

Turn

• Choose mirror
• Double click or Single click to rotate one step
• Click own emitter
• Observe reflected light path
• If light hits an emitter, the emitter dies
• End of turn

Play until one team remains.

ToDo

• make light color match emitter color
• make emitter immune to own color, ie no friendly fire
• perpendicular mirror should reverse reflect, ie block light since self immune
• should mirror display be flipped 90 degrees. Would that be more intuitive?

Alternative Play: Simulturn

• first player token rotates to next player
• take turns choosing and lightly placing finger on a mirror blink without clicking
• everyone simultaneously single clicks or double clicks their selected mirror blink
• then immediately clicks their emmiter blink
• repeat until one team remains
