Mathematicians seem to dedicate some attention to problems relating to the game of billiards (see Billiards, Dynamical billiars, Outer billiard).
Has anyone been studying a somewhat similar set of problems relating to portals (as described, e.g., here), either in 3D or 2D? In particular, I’m inte...

So, I was playing this game called Portal Reloaded, which is basically Portal but with time travel added into the mix.
I found it quite a conundrum to clear Chamber 07, and decided I should try to improve my understanding of solving it before I proceed forward. I was able to solve it, but I'm pre...

First of all, I'm not a mathematician, so sorry if the question is in layman terms.
In the following picture, there is a character traveling toward the right.
If the character encounters another character, he will always turn right (as a rule).
There is also a time portal at the bottom, that will...

Portal is a video game where you can create 2 disks $D\in\mathbb{R}^3$, which then are identified. The world is glued together at these points.

This kind of reminds me of some procedures to construct spaces for CW complex and whatnot in algebraic topology. I don't know...
