[Question]
  [
Take a 2-dimensional grid and draw a number of line segments on it to represent mirrors. Now pick a point to place a theoretical laser and an angle to define the direction it's pointing. The question is: if your follow the laser beam path for some specified distance, what coordinate point are you at?
Example:
![laser example](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QrrmD.png)
In this image, `L` is the location of the laser, `t` is it's angle (measured from the positive X axis), `M1`, `M2`, and `M3` are all line segment mirrors, and `E` is the point on the laser beam path after `D = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4` units, starting from `L`.
# Goal
Write the shortest program (in bytes) that outputs `E` given `L`, `t`, `D`, and a list of mirrors.  
(Use <http://mothereff.in/byte-counter> to count bytes.)
# Input Format
Input will come from stdin in the format:
```
Lx Ly t D M1x1 M1y1 M1x2 M1y2 M2x1 M2y1 M2x2 M2y2 ...
```
* All the values will be floating points matching this regex: `[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+`.
* There is always exactly one space between each number.
* Requiring quotes around the input is allowed.
* `t` is in degrees, but not necessarily in the `[0, 360)` range. (If you prefer you may use radians instead, just say so in your answer.)
* `D` may be negative, effectively rotating the laser 180 degrees. `D` may also be 0.
* There may be arbitrarily many mirrors (including none at all).
* The order of the mirrors should not matter.
* You may assume the input will come in multiples of 4 numbers. e.g. `Lx Ly t` or `Lx Ly t D M1x1` are invalid and will not be tested. No input at all is also invalid.
The layout above might be input as:
```
1 1 430 17 4.8 6.3 6.2 5.3 1.5 4.8 3.5 6 6.3 1.8 7.1 3
```
(Note that the image was drawn freehand and these values are only approximations. Martin Büttner's input values of
```
1 1 430 17 4.8 5.3 6.2 4.3 1.5 4.8 3.5 6 6.3 1.8 7.1 3
```
will give more collisions though they do not match the sketch.)
# Output Format
Output should go to stdout in the format:
```
Ex Ey
```
These are also floats and may be in exponential form.
# Notes
* Mirrors may intersect each other.
* Both sides of mirrors are reflective.
* The beam may hit the same mirror many times.
* The beam goes on forever.
# Undefined Cases
You may assume that the cases where
* the laser starts on a mirror line segment
* the laser beam hits the endpoint of a mirror
* the laser beam hits the intersection between two mirrors
are undefined and will not be tested. Your program may do anything if these occur, including throw an error.
# Bonus
Just for fun, I will award 200 bounty points to the highest voted submission that outputs a graphical representation of the problem (you could even write an interactive script). These bonus submission do not need to be golfed and can be lenient with how input and output are handled. They are distinct from the actual golfed submissions but **both should be submitted in the same answer**.
*Note:* Only submitting a bonus answer is fine, you just wont be the accepted answer. To be accepted you must exactly follow the input/output spec (e.g. output only involves `Ex Ey`, not images), and be the shortest.

You can call it like
```
plotLaser[{1, 1}, 7.50492, 95, {
  {{4.8, 5.3}, {6.2, 4.3}}, {{1.5, 4.8}, {3.5, 6}}, {{6.3, 1.8}, {7.1, 3}}, 
  {{5, 1}, {4, 3}}, {{7, 6}, {5, 6.1}}, {{8.5, 2.965}, {8.4, 2}}, 
  {{8.5, 3.035}, {8.6, 4}}, {{8.4, 2}, {10.5, 3}}, {{8.6, 4}, {10.5, 3}}
}]
```
That will give you an animation in Mathematica and also export a GIF (the one at the top for this input). I've slightly extended the OPs example for this, to make it a bit more interesting.

This is basically a direct translation of the Mathematica solution to Ruby, plus some golfing and making sure it meets the I/O criteria.

# Python 3(~~421C 390C~~,366C)
Use `builtin.complex` as 2d vector. So
```
dot = lambda a, b: (a.conjugate() * b).real
cross = lambda a, b: (a.conjugate() * b).imag
```
In order to beat the 368C Ruby solution, I've find a quite compact method to calculate point reflection along a mirror. And also used some complex algebra to reduce more characters. These can be easily found in the ungolfed code.
Here's the golfed version.
```
C=lambda a,b:(abs(a)**2/a*b).imag
J=1j
x,y,r,d,*a=map(float,input().split())
p=x+y*J
q=p+d*2.718281828459045**(r*J)
M=[]
while a:x,y,z,w,*a=a;M+=[(x+y*J,z-x+w*J-y*J)]
def T(m):x,y=m;d=C(y,r)+1e-9;t=C(y,x-p)/d;s=C(r,x-p)/d;return[1,t][(1e-6<t<1)*(0<s<1)]
while 1:
 r=q-p;m=f,g=min(M,key=T)
 if T(m)==1:break
 p+=r*T(m);q=(q/g-f/g).conjugate()*g+f
print(q.real,q.imag)
```
## Ungolfed
```
# cross product of two vector
# abs(a)**2 / a == a.conjugate()
cross = lambda a, b: (abs(a)**2 / a * b).imag
# Parse input
x, y, angle, distance, *rest = map(float, input().split())
start = x + y * 1j
# e = 2.718281828459045
# Using formula: e**(r*j) == cos(r) + sin(r) * j
end = start + distance * 2.718281828459045 ** (angle * 1j)
mirrors = []
while rest:
    x1, y1, x2, y2, *rest = rest
    # Store end point and direction vector for this mirror

    #  2. Take r1's conjugate as r2.
    #  3. Recover r2 to original coordinate system as r3
    #  4. r3 + a is the final result
    #
    # So we got conjugate((p - a) * conjugate(s)) / conjugate(s) + a
    # which can be reduced to conjugate((p - a) / s) * s + a
    return ((p - a) / s).conjugate() * s + a
while 1:
    mirror = min(mirrors, key=find_cross)
    if find_cross(mirror) == 1:
        break
    start += (end - start) * find_cross(mirror)
    end = reflect(end, mirror)
print(end.real, end.imag)
```
# Bonus: HTML, Coffeescript, Realtime Adjustment & Calculation
This is, you drag any end points(or lazer, mirros), then the track is rendered.
It also support two types of input, the one described in the question and the one used by @Martin Büttner.
The scaling is also adjusted automatically.
For now it doesn't has animation. Maybe I'll improve it later. However, dragging the white points and you can see another type of animation. [Try it online here](http://zhanruiliang.github.io/where_does_the_lazer_go/) yourself, it's funny!

**Explanation**
The code in the webpage is commented. Basically I calculate the intersection of the laser with every mirror assuming the laser and mirrors are infinitely long. Then I check if the intersection is within the finite length of the mirror and the laser. Then I take the closest intersection, move the laser to that point, and continue until the laser misses all the mirrors.
Very fun project. Thanks for asking this question!

Good challenge. This is my solution which gets input from stdin and outputs to stdout. Using @Martin Büttner's example:

## Concepts
### Reflection Points
For calculating the reflection points we basically have to interesect two straight lines. One with the point p0 and vector v, the other between the two points p1,p2. So the equation to solve is (s,t are parameters): p0+t*v = s*p1+(1-s)\*p2.
The parameter s is then a barycentric coordinate of the mirror so if 0
### Mirroring
The mirroring of v is pretty simple. Let us assume that ||v|| = ||n|| = 1 where n is the normal vector of the current mirror. Then you can just use the formula v := v-2\*\*n where <,> is the dot product.
### Validity of step
While computing the nearest 'valid' mirror we have to consider some criterias that make it valid. First the interception point of the mirror must lie between the two endpoints, so it must be 0
## Program
