About the project
A 2D wave optics simulator for Windows: place light sources and optical parts on a canvas and watch waves refract, diffract and interfere, with field and intensity views, probes and video export.
Useful for
- Simulate interference and diffraction of light through lenses, mirrors and fibres
- Turn a paint image into a refractive scene with emitters and absorption
- Export simulation frames as OpenEXR for analysis in NumPy or MATLAB

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:28: 223 → 224 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 5.2× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- The repository is 22 days old and already has 224 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 226.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
