Vitokaro

Vitokaro is an optics bench you can hold. Place a component, turn it, and the beam redraws itself the moment you let go - reflecting, bending, splitting or breaking into colour, exactly as the physics says it should.

SIXTY PUZZLES

Four tiers - Intro, Core, Hard and Expert - solved in sequence, each one unlocking the next. Early boards are pure reflection and beam routing; later ones bring refraction, focusing and divergence, dispersion into colour, wavelength filtering, beam splitting and multi-target routing. Every puzzle states its objective, hands you a limited set of components, names a par count and explains the principle it is teaching. Solve it inside par and the rating goes up.

THE BENCH

A grid workspace with live ray tracing, undo and reset, optional angle snapping, component selection and a target readout that tells you the moment the solution lands.

SANDBOX

No objective, no limits. Build any rig you like from scratch or from a starter template, save it, rename it, reopen it later and keep going.

THE COMPONENTS

Laser sources, flat mirrors, convex and concave mirrors, convex and concave lenses, triangular prisms, dense flint prisms, right-angle reflectors, beam splitters, spectral filters, walls and target sensors - each with its own real behaviour in the simulation. The Optics library explains what every one does and which rule it demonstrates.

FEATS

Achievements for the first solve, puzzle-count milestones, a complete run, producing a full spectrum, focusing light onto a target, matching par and finishing the expert set. The Feats screen shows what is left and exactly what each one asks.

OFFLINE

The whole collection, the sandbox, your saved rigs, your progress and the reference library work with no connection at all.
