Deflexion Watch the Video for Basic Game Instructions 2.52MB Welcome to the world of Deflexion, the game that combines lasers with classic strategy for an experience enjoyed by players of all ages. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian themed mirrored pieces around the playing field after which they fire their low powered laser diode with the goal of illuminating their opponent's pieces to eliminate them from the game. Don’t be intimidated by Deflexion’s high tech looks, the basic principles behind the game can be understood easily. Whenever a laser beam hits a mirrored surface it will always bounce at a 90 degree angle. In other words, it will never bounce off at some weird angle into another row, but will always take a right or left turn depending on which way the mirror is facing and stay in a straight line until it hits another object as shown in the following pictures: HOW IT WORKS: Just like in pool or billiards, light bounces off at the same angle it hits a mirrored surface if light hits a surface at a 45 degree angle, it will bounce off at a 45 degree angle. In science terms, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Deflexion takes advantage of this principal by positioning all its mirrored surfaces at 45 degree angles relative to the board. Since the light hits at a 45 degree angle, it will then bounce off at a 45 degree angle making the total angle of relection 90 degrees, or one quarter turn. Now, whenever the beam hits a mirrored surface at any point on the board it will always take a quarter turn in the direction the mirror was aimed and continue on a straight path in the row it was reflected in as shown above.
