Algodoo

Several near black lasers are used with an onlaserhit code to create the phosphurus fade effect, and one slow laser is used to be bent and create the beam.

The variable "scene.my.f" is the variable used to determine the ammount of attraction. it is determined by the input on the bottom of the screen (laser range finder on a elipse)

if combined with collidesets, applied to layers of the phospurus peices, it could be used to create a screen with multiple lines. i might have a go at upgrading the scene to be capable of doing that.

I hope its useful to anyone thinking of doing anything similar. some kind of computer using a cathode screen would be awesome, but i wouldnt know where to start with a computer. or how about a movie in cathode ray?
