Make sure you check out LitDev's January challenges.
Here's more info about his Physics Challenge: Light Beam!
Physics Challenge
Write a program to reflect a light beam off a rotated surface.
Further challenge - make a game where the user must rotate the surfaces to get the beam to bounce off several surfaces and hit a target.
Zock took a crack at solving it: http://smallbasic.com/smallbasic.com/program/?LMB722
Use the up/down arrows to change the angle on the reflector.
Math Man also made this version: http://smallbasic.com/smallbasic.com/program/?XKS442
What do you think? Have you tried it?
