LightDraw began with a simple goal: to make optics easier to teach, explore, and understand.
\nWhile building this lightweight 2D optical simulator, I incorporated real classroom needs into its design. Since light is an electromagnetic wave, I also expanded the project to support electrostatic and magnetostatic field simulations.
\nBuilt with .NET, Avalonia, and SkiaSharp, LightDraw turns abstract physics into clear, interactive visualizations for teachers and students.
\nExplore the project on GitHub<\/a> or download LightDraw from the Microsoft Store<\/a>.
\nSpecial thanks to the creators and contributors of Ray Optics Simulation<\/a>, whose excellent work inspired this project.<\/p>\n
