Just love how the beam can only separate if it goes through glass because different wavelengths mean different diffraction angles, these are the details that make a game go from good to great

wow the optics in the game is actually really accurate. I appreciated seeing the difference in angle inside the different material, but it always exits at the same angle the light entered. Very entertaining to watch, and a groovy soundtrack to boot!

Kinda reminds me of fireboy and watergirl. Except no nightmares from liquid pools.

what happened on the glass is called refraction, when light passes through a medium with a different refractive index, it loses some of its energy, and is bended

Quantum of Light?

It's insane that this game actually has total internal reflection in the glass parts. Nice work devs

This is a really cool game to watch. It's simple enough to understand so far since it's just light, mirrors, and glass, plus its simplistic style with a splash of colour is visually appealing. I'd like to see more of this, or at least games in this style.

Looking at lightpuzzles that actually play with the fact that light is made of waves and uses optical effects and properties (totalreflection, which is rarely seen in puzzlegames) that are more advanced

@@asher879 Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, reduced muscle activity and inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep,[1] and reduced interactions with surroundings.[2] It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but more reactive than a coma or disorders of consciousness, with sleep displaying different, active brain patterns. Sleep occurs in repeating periods, in which the body alternates between two distinct modes: REM sleep and non-REM sleep. Although REM stands for "rapid eye movement", this mode of sleep has many other aspects, including virtual paralysis of the body. A well-known feature of sleep is the dream, an experience typically recounted in narrative form, which resembles waking life while in progress, but which usually can later be distinguished as fantasy. During sleep, most of the body's systems are in an anabolic state, helping to restore the immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems;[3] these are vital processes that maintain mood, memory, and cognitive function, and play a large role in the function of the endocrine and immune systems.[4] The internal circadian clock promotes sleep daily at night. The diverse purposes and mechanisms of sleep are the subject of substantial ongoing research.[5] Sleep is a highly conserved behavior across animal evolution.[6] Humans may suffer from various sleep disorders, including dyssomnias such as insomnia, hypersomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea; parasomnias such as sleepwalking and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder; bruxism; and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The use of artificial light has substantially altered humanity's sleep patterns.[7]

​@@KubickQ Furthermore, Everyone needs sleep, but its biological purpose remains a mystery. Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body - from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.Sleep science has developed significantly in the past 20 years, providing growing insight about how sleep works, why it’s important, and the ways that it can be disrupted. Despite this advancing science, it remains common to encounter misinformation about sleep that is spread online, on social media, or by word-of-mouth. Some of this false information becomes repeated so often that it becomes a widely held myth. Even though these sleep myths are contrary to scientific evidence, they are often believed and can lead to poor sleep habits and insufficient sleep. In 2019, the National Sleep Foundation gathered a panel of experts to identify the most prominent and problematic sleep myths1. Reviewing these and other myths is an opportunity to learn the facts, set the record straight, and find ways to help get the sleep that you need. Sleep is an important part of your daily routine-you spend about one-third of your time doing it. Quality sleep - and getting enough of it at the right times -- is as essential to survival as food and water. Without sleep you can’t form or maintain the pathways in your brain that let you learn and create new memories, and it’s harder to concentrate and respond quickly. Sleep is important to a number of brain functions, including how nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other. In fact, your brain and body stay remarkably active while you sleep. Recent findings suggest that sleep plays a housekeeping role that removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake. Everyone needs sleep, but its biological purpose remains a mystery. Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body - from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity. Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how you function in ways scientists are now beginning to understand. This booklet describes how your need for sleep is regulated and what happens in the brain during sleep. Is Sleep Paralysis a Symptom of a Serious Problem? What Is Sleep Paralysis? Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking. Sleep paralysis may accompany other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an overpowering need to sleep caused by a problem with the brain's ability to regulate sleep. Sleep researchers conclude that, in most cases, sleep paralysis is simply a sign that your body is not moving smoothly through the stages of sleep. Rarely is sleep paralysis linked to deep underlying psychiatric problems. Over the centuries, symptoms of sleep paralysis have been described in many ways and often attributed to an "evil" presence: unseen night demons in ancient times, the old hag in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and alien abductors. Almost every culture throughout history has had stories of shadowy evil creatures that terrify helpless humans at night. People have long sought explanations for this mysterious sleep-time paralysis and the accompanying feelings of terror. Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how you function in ways scientists are now beginning to understand. This booklet describes how your need for sleep is regulated and what happens in the brain during sleep. Is Sleep Paralysis a Symptom of a Serious Problem? When Does Sleep Paralysis Usually Occur? Sleep paralysis usually occurs at one of two times. If it occurs while you are falling asleep, it's called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis. If it happens as you are waking up, it's called hypnopompic or postdormital sleep paralysis. What Happens With Hypnagogic Sleep Paralysis? As you fall asleep, your body slowly relaxes. Usually you become less aware, so you do not notice the change. However, if you remain or become aware while falling asleep, you may notice that you cannot move or speak. What Happens With Hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis? During sleep, your body alternates between REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep. One cycle of REM and NREM sleep lasts about 90 minutes. NREM sleep occurs first and takes up to 75% of your overall sleep time. During NREM sleep, your body relaxes and restores itself. At the end of NREM, your sleep shifts to REM. Your eyes move quickly and dreams occur, but the rest of your body remains very relaxed. Your muscles are "turned off" during REM sleep. If you become aware before the REM cycle has finished, you may notice that you cannot move or speak. the natural, easily reversible periodic state of many living things that is marked by the absence of wakefulness and by the loss of consciousness of one's surroundings, is accompanied by a typical body posture (such as lying down with the eyes closed), the occurrence of dreaming, and changes in brain activity and physiological functioning, is made up of cycles of non-REM sleep and REM sleep, and is usually considered essential to the restoration and recovery of vital bodily and mental functions 2: a state resembling sleep: such as a: a state of torpid inactivity b: DEATH put a pet cat to sleep also : TRANCE, COMA c: the closing of leaves or petals especially at night d: a state marked by a diminution of feeling followed by tingling my foot's gone to sleep e: the state of an animal during hibernation 3a: a period spent sleeping b: NIGHT c: a day's journey 4: crusty matter present in the corner of an eye upon awakening Edit: I have been enlightned pogchamp

Glass rules: 1. light always leaves from the angle it entered 2. When it enters it bends towards the normal, this makes the light move to other locations on the glass but still leave at the same angle. 3. If the light hits at a large enough angle on the back of the glass it will reflect at the same angle.

We've just had light physics in school and it's incredible how accurate the physics behind this game are, total reflections and all! Actually awesome!

I REALLY like this game. I would love to watch you play through until the end of the early access. The game looks phenomenal and I’d love to see where the creator does with this amazing concept

Aliens “Tyler” Rock, master of total internal reflection

Ok but when they pulled out the total internal reflection like that was when I knew

This is such a Tyler game, I could watch two straight weeks of this

Bruhh the physics aspect with the TIR is insane

I really appreciate you getting away form the slot machine. I need moar puzzle content!

I really like how they work with light breaking. Never seen that in a game before

That was a fun watch, can’t wait to see more.

Day 79 of saying that you should look into Recursed, it is an awesome puzzle game with awesome recursion craziness and it does a great job teaching you the mechanics as you play without any blatant tutorial levels

Vocab time: When the laser bounces around INSIDE of a refracting lens, that's called Total Internal Reflection. It happens when a ray of light tries to leave a dense medium, but does so in a direction too nearly parallel to the surface.

What a Beautiful game and I like how the lasers pop

Love the Tyler view being moved as much as the boxes. Keep up the great content. "Scientific method. Advance trial and error"

More of this please this game is awesome!

Dude this game is awesome, I'm really excited to see a full series when it releases

This puzzle game looks sick, I hope we get more videos of it when it becomes a full game

love that diss at 5:07 on The Witness. That level was absolute pain to watch.

This reminds me so much of the puzzles in the (I think) Earth Temple in The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. I love it.

When you know all the terminology so when Tyler doesn’t know you tell your screen which obviously doesn’t tell Tyler

Woah, this is really cool, kinda chill, but also just... wow. beautiful and fun. The music is also really good!

would be a cool concept in the future if they add different beam strengths, then depending on the angle you approach glass you can split a beam into various percentages, or totally internally reflect a beam to maintain all of its strength

Haven't watched your content in awhile, but I liked this video!

I like this one! would definitely watch more laser vids :-)

About the refraction idea, I believe there is this theorem called Snell's theorem. You can look it up, but the one thing about Snell's theorem is that light indeed always leave a piece of glass at the same angle as the angle at which they entered it.

Love this game, looks great!

Glad to know that my basic physics understanding of optics makes me far more capable at this than the puzzlegod

6:45 Hey, physics student here. Basically the light goes "argh wtf, glass!?" and gets scared. This causes it to bow to its new overlord, which is seen as a kink in the beam. The light then immediately rebels and tries to escape the glass. If the light is at too shallow an angle when it makes one of these attempts it won't have the confidence to keep going, and will turn around. Only on a direct enough path will it not have time to change its mind on its way out. The failure to leave is seen as internal reflection. Captors with high refractive indexes, like diamonds, are good at manipulating the light into developing Stockholm syndrome, making it not wish to leave, instead bouncing around inside much more than normal before realising what's happened and eventually leaving. This is why diamonds sparkle. Bastards.

@@indigoecho9016 You know when you hit something with a hard object and you get hand shock? Translucent objects do that to light upon its entry. The light just goes "bwuhwuhwuhwuhwuh" (onomatopoeia) as it impacts the boundary of the translucent object, and it becomes shaken out of focus. Needless to say light does not have a good time of anything unless its left to do its own thing travelling through vacuums. This is the only time it's truly content.

I've never seen a game like this! Cool

6:45 what the light does in the boxes is called refraction

Yay for total internal reflection!

When you finish a level the game does a sound... And I always think someone messaged me on discord :D

this game is very fun and challenging to think about!

If you enjoyed this game, try out Chromatron. It's an older game that doesn't look that great, but it got puzzles involving lasers, mirrors and prisms. It's free, btw. //edit: fixed a tpyo.

Hey Tyler. I remember playing this really good puzzle game on the xbox 360 known as ilomilo. whenever i look at it i get this huge sense of nostalgia and i think you should try it. i do not know if it is on any other platforms but you should try to play it any way possible, even if you dont stream it i just find it as an astonishing game

7:10 reflection and refraction in difrent mideum from air to glass

When the light reflects through the glass it's called total internal reflection, and it happens when the angle of incidence of the light is bigger than the ratio of the ratio of the two refractive indexes of the material. It only happens when at the boundary of going into a lower refractive index (and in the case of 6:50 the glass is the material with the higher refractive index and the air has a lower one)

Love the music in this game

so for the glass, it seems that, ignoring the visuals on the inside, there's two options. The light comes out the opposite side in the same direction as it came in, or it comes out the opposite side but mirrored. Which of these occurs depends on how many times the light bounces off the remaining sides. (odd or even)

idk how often you read comments, but please play/upload more of this. very enjoyable to watch

Hey Tyler if you don't want the game to minimize when you click elsewhere, look for a Borderless Fullscreen or Borderless Windowed option in the games settings! that's what you want for that

Lasers are objectively cool. I see a video about game with them, I click

I just remembered this apple mac puzzle game from the 90s called "stardust" it has quite a nice difficulty. You should try it out!

the music sounds a lot like my alarm, constant anxiety watching this lol

Reminds me a lot of the "Rethink" games.

i swear ive seen and played this exact game before on my phone years ago, it looks too familiar

More of this please:)

I didn't watch this when it came out cause I had just played a boring light bouncing flash game. I can already tell this is going to be way better than I thought it would be

this game is incredible

I just started studying about light in physics class, and this game shows it so well

Lvl10 shows the working principle of fibre optic cables. Nice game

This reminds me of an old mobile game I've always loved called "lazors"

Total internal reflection!!

Definitely a cool game

The opening had a prism and it showed white light, I can’t wait to see a level with 7 exits and a whole lot of pain

Game looks great

damn, this is basically a modern version of Chromatron (a free, 20-something years old PC game) and I love how it looks!

This video is the embodiment of the saying the only difference between science and messing around is that in science you write stuff down

This physics student was way more excited by total internal reflection than I care to admit.

This game seems familiar somehow, i might have to check it out!
