BlackBox is a game that is a cross between Minesweeper and Mastermind. There are a certain number of atoms hidden in a grid and you must fire X-rays from the side and according to the response (deviation, reflection, absorption). Find out the hidden atoms in the 8x8 grid using X-rays. X-rays interacts with atoms:
- 90° reflected on the edge
- absorbed if it directly hits X-rays get in/out on the edges:
- shown by colored disk pair
- black disk if absorbed
- white disk if reflected: input and output are the same. X-ray may be directly reflected by an atom on the edge of the grid.
Carefully look X-ray trajectory using the following example. Try by clicking the edges. Game with 3 atoms is very easy.
In games with 6 atoms, it is possible that an atom cannot be reached by an X-ray. Update Description:
