Rules
The most common configuration for novice players is four atoms in an 8-by-8 grid. At left is a sample black box in this configuration.
There are 32 input positions in an 8-by-8 grid, eight each at the top, bottom, right, and left. A beam is "fired" into one of these positions and the result is used to help deduce the location of a known number of hidden atoms.
