This project focuses on the simulation and visualization of how lasers behave when reflected inside an elliptical shape.

- Ellipse Equation Input: Users can input the specific parameters of the ellipse equation, tailoring the simulation to different elliptical shapes.
- Initial Laser Beam Input: Users can draw the initial laser beam, setting the entry point and direction of the laser.
- Laser Entry Precision: Currently, the laser entry point is fixed at 0.2 units wide on the x-axis. Future updates could include adjustable entry sizes for greater flexibility.
- User Interface Enhancement: While functional, the input form is a bit crude. Future versions could see an enhanced UI for an improved user experience.
- Internal Quality: There are a few areas that could use the DRY principle and there are no tests due to time constraints.
