What am I missing to get the shadow glyph to form on the far wall?
#1
I keep hitting a wall in this puzzle platformer where you manipulate light and shadow, and I’m starting to wonder if the solution is even possible. The room has three colored lenses and a single moving light source, but no matter how I align them, the final shadow glyph won’t form completely on the far wall.

Totally. I spent a solid hour moving the three lenses and watching the glyph form on the far wall. It would start to take shape, then stall with a thin line of shadow missing. I kept nudging tiny amounts, sometimes the edge would shift but the whole thing never completed.

I tried lining them up one by one and noting any change in the shadow, then swapping the order and rechecking. I got a ghostly fragment once, a sliver where the glyph should be, but the rest stayed black. Not confident, but it felt like the order mattered more than I expected. Plus I started wondering about color theory, like whether red/green/blue stacking would matter. It felt like a misdirection, but I couldn't shake that thought.

Maybe the real problem isn't the optics but the setup. The wall could be a hair off alignment, or the light's path needs a very specific sweep. I couldn't pin it, so I paused and doubted the whole thing for a while.

One small move I did try: I shifted the light's trajectory and watched the shadow length change. It didn’t finish, but it showed how sensitive it is. If you want a tiny random tweak, try swapping two lens positions and seeing if the shape changes shape again. No guarantees.
