The Black Box
Description
The Black Box is a puzzle game in which the player tries to find atoms hidden in a grid. The player does so by firing rays into the grid from the borders. Rays normally travel in a straight line. Rays that strike an atom are absorbed. Rays that come within one square of an atom in a diagonal direction are deflected 90 degrees. Rays aimed directly between two atoms one square apart are deflected. Rays that enter the grid directly to the side of an atom are deflected.
