The challenge

The shortest code by character count to input a 2D representation of a board, and output 'true' or 'false' according to the input.

The board is made out of 4 types of tiles:

 # - A solid wall
 x - The target the laser has to hit
 / or \ - Mirrors pointing to a direction (depends on laser direction)
 v, ^, > or < - The laser pointing to a direction (down, up, right and left respectively)

There is only one laser and only one target. Walls must form a solid rectangle of any size, where the laser and target are placed inside. Walls inside the 'room' are possible.

Laser ray shots and travels from its origin to the direction it's pointing. If a laser ray hits the wall, it stops. If a laser ray hits a mirror, it bounces 90 degrees to the direction the mirror points to. Mirrors are two sided, meaning both sides are 'reflective' and may bounce a ray in two ways. If a laser ray hits the laser (^v><) itself, it is treated as a wall (laser beam destroys the beamer and so it'll never hit the target).

Test cases

Input:
    ##########
    #   / \  #
    #        #
    #   \   x#
    # >   /  #
    ########## 
Output:
    true

Input:
    ##########
    #   v x  #
    # /      #
    #       /#
    #   \    #
    ##########
Output:    
    false

Input:
    #############
    #     #     #
    # >   #     #
    #     #     #
    #     #   x #
    #     #     #
    #############
Output:
    false

Input:
    ##########
    #/\/\/\  #
    #\\//\\\ #
    #//\/\/\\#
    #\/\/\/x^#
    ##########
Output:
    true

Code count includes input/output (i.e full program).

Perl, 166 160 characters

Perl, 251 248 246 222 214 208 203 201 193 190 180 176 173 170 166 --> 160 chars.

Solution had 166 strokes when this contest ended, but A. Rex has found a couple ways to shave off 6 more characters:

s!.!$t{$s++}=$&!ge,$s=$r+=99for<>;%d='>.^1<2v3'=~/./g;($r)=grep$d|=$d{$t{$_}},%t;
{$_=$t{$r+=(1,-99,-1,99)[$d^=3*/\\/+m</>]};/[\/\\ ]/&&redo}die/x/?true:false,$/

The first line loads the input into %t, a table of the board where $t{99*i+j} holds the character at row i,column j. Then,

%d=split//,'>.^1<2v3' ; ($r)=grep{$d|=$d{$t{$_}}}%t

it searches the elements of %t for a character that matches > ^ < or v, and simultaneously sets $d to a value between 0 and 3 that indicates the initial direction of the laser beam.

At the beginning of each iteration in the main loop, we update $d if the beam is currently on a mirror. XOR'ing by 3 gives the correct behavior for a \ mirror and XOR'ing by 1 gives the correct behavior for a / mirror.

$d^=3*/\\/+m</>

Next, the current position $r is updated accoring to the current direction.

$r+=(1,-99,-1,99)[$d] ; $_ = $t{$r}

We assign the character at the current position to $_ to make convenient use of the match operators.

/[\/\\ ]/ && redo

Continue if we are on a blank space or a mirror character. Otherwise we terminate true if we are on the target ($_ =~ /x/) and false otherwise.

Limitation: may not work on problems with more than 99 columns. This limitation could be removed at the expense of 3 more characters,

Perl, 177 Characters

The first linebreak can be removed; the other two are mandatory.

$/=%d=split//,' >/^\v';$_=<>;$s='#';{
y/v<^/>v</?do{my$o;$o.=" 
"while s/.$/$o.=$&,""/meg;y'/\\'\/'for$o,$s;$_=$o}:/>x/?die"true
":/>#/?die"false
":s/>(.)/$s$d{$1}/?$s=$1:1;redo}

Explanation:

$/ = %d = (' ' => '>', '/' => '^', '\\' => 'v');

If a right-moving beam runs into an {empty space, up-angled mirror, down-angled mirror} it becomes a {right-moving beam, up-moving beam, down-moving beam}. Initialize $/ along the way -- fortunately "6" is not a valid input char.

$_ = <>;

Read the board into $_.

$s="#";

$s is the symbol of whatever the beam is sitting on top of now. Since the laser emitter is to be treated like a wall, set this to be a wall to begin with.

if (tr/v<^/>v</) {
  my $o;
  $o .= "\n" while s/.$/$o .= $&, ""/meg;
  tr,/\\,\\/, for $o, $s;
  $_ = $o;
}

If the laser beam is pointing any way except right, rotate its symbol, and then rotate the whole board in place (also rotating the symbols for the mirrors). It's a 90 degree left rotation, accomplished effectively by reversing the rows while transposing rows and columns, in a slightly fiendish s///e with side effects. In the golfed code, the tr is written in the form y''' which allows me to skip backslashing one backslash.

die "true\n" if />x/; die "false\n" if />#/;

Terminate with the right message if we hit the target or a wall.

$s = $1 if s/>(.)/$s$d{$1}/;

If there's an empty space in front of the laser, move forward. If there's a mirror in front of the laser, move forward and rotate the beam. In either case, put the "saved symbol" back into the old beam location, and put the thing we just overwrote into the saved symbol.

redo;

Repeat until termination. {...;redo} is two characters less than for(;;){...} and three less than while(1){...}.

C89 (209 characters)

#define M(a,b)*p==*#a?m=b,*p=1,q=p:
*q,G[999],*p=G;w;main(m){for(;(*++p=getchar())>0;)M(<,-1)M
(>,1)M(^,-w)M(v,w)!w&*p<11?w=p-G:0;for(;q+=m,m=*q&4?(*q&1?
-1:1)*(m/w?m/w:m*w):*q&9?!puts(*q&1?"false":"true"):m;);}

Explanation

This monstrosity will probably be difficult to follow if you don't understand C. Just a forewarning.

#define M(a,b)*p==*#a?m=b,*p=1,q=p:

This little macro checks if the current character (*p) is equal to whatever a is in character form (*#a). If they are equal, set the movement vector to b (m=b), mark this character as a wall (*p=1), and set the starting point to the current location (q=p). This macro includes the "else" portion.

*q,G[999],*p=G;
w;

Declare some variables. * q is the light's current location. * G is the game board as a 1D array. * p is the current read location when populating G. * w is the board's width.

main(m){

Obvious main. m is a variable storing the movement vector. (It's a parameter to main as an optimization.)

    for(;(*++p=getchar())>0;)

Loop through all characters, populating G using p. Skip G[0] as an optimization (no need to waste a character writing p again in the third part of the for).

        M(<,-1)
        M(>,1)
        M(^,-w)
        M(v,w)

Use the aforementioned macro to define the lazer, if possible. -1 and 1 correspond to left and right, respectively, and -w and w up and down.

        !w&*p<11
            ?w=p-G
            :0;

If the current character is an end-of-line marker (ASCII 10), set the width if it hasn't already been set. The skipped G[0] allows us to write w=p-G instead of w=p-G+1. Also, this finishes off the ?: chain from the M's.

    for(;
        q+=m,

Move the light by the movement vector.

        m=
        *q&4
            ?(*q&1?-1:1)*(
                m/w?m/w:m*w
            )

Reflect the movement vector.

            :*q&9
                ?!puts(*q&1?"false":"true")
                :m
        ;

If this is a wall or x, quit with the appropriate message (m=0 terminates the loop). Otherwise, do nothing (noop; m=m)

    );
}

I would bet people have been waiting for this one for a LOOOOONG time. (What do you mean, the challenge is over and nobody cares any more?)

Behold... I here present a solution in

Befunge-93!

It weighs in at a whopping 973 charaters (or 688 if you are charitable enough to ignore whitespace, which is only used for formatting and does nothing in actual code).

Caveat: I wrote my own Befunge-93 interpreter in Perl a short while ago, and unfortunately this is all I've really had time with which to test it. I'm reasonably confident in its correctness in general, but it might have an odd limitation with regard to EOF: Since Perl's <> operator returns undef at the end of file, this is processed as a 0 in the numeric context. For C-based implementations where EOF has a different value (-1 say), this code might not work.

Explanation

If you're not familiar with the Befunge syntax and operation, check here.

Befunge is a stack-based language, but there are commands that allow one to write characters to the Befunge code. I take advantage of that in two places. First, I copy the entire input onto the Befunge board, but located a couple of lines below the actual written code. (Of course, this is never actually visible when the code runs.)

The other place is near the the upper-left:

######
    a#
######

In this case, the area I've highlighted above is where I store a couple of coordinates. The first column in the middle row there is where I store the x-coordinate for the current "cursor position"; the second column is where I store the y-coordinate; the next two columns are for storing the x- and y-coordinate of the laser beam source when that is found; and the final column (with the 'a' character in it) is eventually overwritten to contain the current beam direction, which obviously changes as the beam's path is traced.

The program starts by placing (0,27) as the initial cursor position. Then input is read one character at a time and placed in the cursor position; newlines merely cause the y-coordinate to increase and the x-coordinate to go back to 0, just like a real carriage return. Eventually undef is read by the interpreter and that 0 character value is used to signal the end of input and move on to the laser iteration steps. When the laser character [<>^v] is read, that is also copied to the memory repository (over the 'a' character) and its coordinates are copied to the columns just to the left.

The end result of all of this is that the entire file is basically copied into the Befunge code, a little ways below the actual code traversed.

Afterwards, the beam location is copied back into the cursor locations, and the following iteration is performed:

  • Check for the current beam direction and increment or decrement the cursor coordinates appropriately. (I do this first to avoid having to deal with the corner case of the laser beam right on the first move.)
  • Read the character at that location.
  • If the character is "#", put newline and "false" on the stack, print, and end.
  • Compare it to all of the beam characters [<>^v]; if there's a match, also print "false\n" and end.
  • If the character is a space, empty the stack and continue.
  • If the character is a forward slash, get the beam direction onto the stack and compare it to each of the direction characters in turn. When one is found, the new direction is stored at that same spot in the code and the loop repeats.
  • If the character is a backslash, do basically the same thing as the above (except with the proper mapping for backslash).
  • If the character is 'x', we've hit the target. Print "true\n" and exit.
  • If the character is none of these, print "error\n" and exit.

If there's enough demand for it, I'll try to point out exactly where in the code all this is accomplished.

Python

294 277 253 240 232 characters including newlines:

(the first character in lines 4 and 5 is a tab, not spaces)

l='>v<^';x={'/':'^<v>','\\':'v>^<',' ':l};b=[1];r=p=0
while b[-1]:
 b+=[raw_input()];r+=1
 for g in l:
    c=b[r].find(g)
    if-1<c:p=c+1j*r;d=g
while' '<d:z=l.find(d);p+=1j**z;c=b[int(p.imag)][int(p.real)];d=x.get(c,' '*4)[z]
print'#'<c

I had forgotten Python even had optional semicolons.

How it works

The key idea behind this code is using complex numbers to represent positions and directions. The rows are the imaginary axis, increasing downward. The columns are the real axis, increasing to the right.

l='>v<^'; a list of the laser symbols. The order is chosen so that the index of a laser direction character corresponds with a power of sqrt(-1)

x={'/':'^<v>','\\':'v>^<',' ':l}; a transformation table determining how the direction changes when the beam leaves different tiles. The tile is the key, and new directions are the values.

b=[1]; holds the board. The first element is 1 (evaluates as true) so that the while loop will run at least once.

r=p=0 r is the current row number of the input, p is the current position of the laser beam.

while b[-1]: stop loading board data when raw_input returns an empty string

b+=[raw_input()];r+=1 append the next line of input to the board and increment the row counter

for g in l: guess each laser direction in turn

c=b[r].find(g) set the column to the location of the laser or -1 if it's not in the line (or is pointing in a different direction)

if-1<c:p=c+1j*r;d=g if we found a laser, then set the current position p and direction d. d is one of the chars in l

After loading the board into b, the current position p and direction d have been set to those of the laser source.

while' '<d: space has a lower ASCII value than any of the direction symbols, so we use it as a stop flag.

z=l.find(d); index of the current direction char in the l string. z gets used later to both determine the new beam direction using the x table, and to increment the position.

p+=1j**z; increment the position using a power of i. For example, l.find('<')==2 -> i^2 = -1, which would move to the left one column.

c=b[int(p.imag)][int(p.real)]; read the char at the current position

d=x.get(c,' '*4)[z] look up the new direction for the beam in the transformation table. If the current char doesn't exist in the table, then set d to space.

print'#'<c print false if we stopped on anything other than the target.

This is was a direct port of Brian's solution to C#3, minus the console interactions. This isn't an entry in the challenge since it isn't a complete program, I was just wondering how some of the F# constructs he used could be represented in C#.

bool Run(string input) {
    var a = input.Split(new[] {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None);
    var p = a.SelectMany((line, y) => line.Select((d, x) => new {x, y, d}))
             .First(x => new[] {'v', '^', '<', '>'}.Contains(x.d));
    var NEXT = new[] {
            new {d = '>', dx = 1, dy = 0, s = '^', b = 'v'},
            new {d = 'v', dx = 0, dy = 1, s = '<', b = '>'},
            new {d = '<', dx = -1, dy = 0, s = 'v', b = '^'},
            new {d = '^', dx = 0, dy = -1, s = '>', b = '<'}
        }.ToDictionary(x => x.d);
    while (true) {
        var n = NEXT[p.d];
        int x = p.x + n.dx,
            y = p.y + n.dy;
        var d = a[y][x];
        switch (d) {
            case '/':  d = n.s; break;
            case '\\': d = n.b; break;
            case ' ':  d = p.d; break;
            default: return d == 'x';
        }
        p = new {x, y, d};
    }
}

Edit: After some experimentation, the following rather verbose search code:

int X = a[0].Length, Y = a.Length;
var p = new {x = 0, y = 0, d = 'v'};
for (var y = 0; y < Y; y++) {
    for (var x = 0; x < X; x++) {
        var d = a[y][x];
        switch (d) {
            case 'v': case '^': case '<': case '>':
                p = new {x, y, d}; break;
        }
    }
}

has been replaced with some much more compact LINQ to Objects code:

var p = a.SelectMany((line, y) => line.Select((d, x) => new {x, y, d}))
         .First(x => new[] {'v', '^', '<', '>'}.Contains(x.d));

F#, 255 chars (and still rather readable!):

Ok, after a night's rest, I improved this a lot:

let a=System.Console.In.ReadToEnd()
let w,c=a.IndexOf"\n"+1,a.IndexOfAny[|'^';'<';'>';'v'|]
let rec n(c,d)=
 let e,s=[|-w,2;-1,3;1,0;w,1|].[d]
 n(c+e,match a.[c+e]with|'/'->s|'\\'->3-s|' '->d|c->printfn"%A"(c='x');exit 0)
n(c,"^<>v".IndexOf a.[c])

Let's talk through it line by line.

First, slurp all the input into a big one-dimensional array (2D arrays can be bad for code golf; just use a 1D array and add/subtract the width of one line to the index to move up/down a line).

Next we compute 'w', the width of an input line, and 'c', the starting position, by indexing into our array.

Now let's define the 'next' function 'n', which takes a current position 'c' and a direction 'd' which is 0,1,2,3 for up,left,right,down.

The index-epsilon 'e' and the what-new-direction-if-we-hit-a-slash 's' are computed by a table. For example, if the current direction 'd' is 0 (up), then the first element of the table says "-w,2" which means we decrement the index by w, and if we hit a slash the new direction is 2 (right).

Now we recurse into the next function 'n' with (1) the next index ("c+e" - current plus epsilon), and (2) the new direction, which we compute by looking ahead to see what's in the array in that next cell. If the lookahead char is a slash, the new direction is 's'. If it's a backslash, the new direction is 3-s (our choice of encoding 0123 makes this work). If it's a space, we just keep going in the same direction 'd'. And if it's any other character 'c', then the game ends, printing 'true' if the char was 'x' and false otherwise.

To kick things off, we call the recursive function 'n' with the initial position 'c' and the starting direction (which does the initial encoding of direction into 0123).

I think I can probably still shave a few more characters off it, but I am pretty pleased with it like this (and 255 is a nice number).

Weighing in at 18203 characters is a Python solution that can:

  • cope with mirrors outside of the 'room'
  • calculate the trajectory when there is no 'room' on the basis of 2D limitations (the spec says lots about what has to be in the 'room' but not if the room has to exist)
  • report back on errors

It still needs tidied up somewhat and I do not know if 2D physics dictate that the beam cannot cross itself...

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
The shortest code by character count to input a 2D representation of a board, 
and output 'true' or 'false' according to the input.

The board is made out of 4 types of tiles:

# - A solid wall
x - The target the laser has to hit
/ or \ - Mirrors pointing to a direction (depends on laser direction)
v, ^, > or < - The laser pointing to a direction (down, up, right and left
respectively)

There is only one laser and only one target. Walls must form a solid rectangle 
of any size, where the laser and target are placed inside. Walls inside the
'room' are possible.

Laser ray shots and travels from it's origin to the direction it's pointing. If
a laser ray hits the wall, it stops. If a laser ray hits a mirror, it is bounces
90 degrees to the direction the mirror points to. Mirrors are two sided, meaning
both sides are 'reflective' and may bounce a ray in two ways. If a laser ray
hits the laser (^v><) itself, it is treated as a wall (laser beam destroys the
beamer and so it'll never hit the target).

x=!0;y=0;e="^v<>#x";b=readlines;b.map{|l|(x||=l=~/[v^<>]/)||y+=1};c=e.index(b[y][x])
loop{c<2&&y+=c*2-1;c>1&&x+=2*c-5;e.index(n=b[y][x])&&(p n==?x;exit);c^='  \/'.index(n)||0}

I used a simple state machine (like most posters), nothing fancy. I just kept whittling it down using every trick I could think of. The bitwise XOR used to change direction (stored as an integer in the variable c) was a big improvement over the conditionals I had in earlier versions.

I have a suspicion that the code that increments x and y could be made shorter. Here is the section of the code that does the incrementing:

c<2&&y+=c*2-1;c>1&&x+=(c-2)*2-1

Edit: I was able to shorten the above slightly:

c<2&&y+=c*2-1;c>1&&x+=2*c-5

The current direction of the laser c is stored as follows:

0 => up
1 => down
2 => left
3 => right

The code relies on this fact to increment x and y by the correct amount (0, 1, or -1). I tried rearranging which numbers map to each direction, looking for an arrangement that would let me do some bitwise manipulation to increment the values, because I have a nagging feeling that it would be shorter than the arithmetic version.

Slightly more readable:

bool Simulate(char[] m)
{
    var w = Array.FindIndex(m, x => x < 11) + 1;
    var s = Array.FindIndex(m, x => x > 50 & x != 92 & x < 119);
    var t = m[s];
    var d = t < 61 ? -1 : t < 63 ? 1 : t < 95 ? -w : w;
    var u = 0;
    while (0 < 1)
    {
        s += d;
        u = m[s];
        if (u > 119)
            return 0 < 1;
        if (u == 47 | u == 92)
            d += d > 0 ? -w - 1 : w + 1;
        else if (u != 32)
            return 0 > 1;
        d = u > 47 ? -d : d;
    }
}

The main waste of chars seems to be in finding the width of the map and the position of the laser source. Any ideas how to shorten this?

C + ASCII, 197 characters:

G[999],*p=G,w,z,t,*b;main(){for(;(*p++=t=getchar()^32)>=0;w=w|t-42?w:p-G)z=t^86?t^126?t^28?t^30?z:55:68:56:75,b=z?b:p;for(;t=z^55?z^68?z^56?z^75?0:w:-w:-1:1;z^=*b)b+=t;puts(*b^88?"false":"true");}

This C solution assumes an ASCII character set, allowing us to use the XOR mirror trick. It's also incredibly fragile - all the input lines must be the same length, for example.

It breaks under the 200 character mark - but dang it, still haven't beaten those Perl solutions!

JavaScript - 265 Characters

Update IV - Odds are this will be the last round of updates, managed to save a couple more characters by switching to a do-while loop and rewriting the movement equation.

Update III - Thanks to the suggestion by strager in regards to removing Math.abs() and putting the variables in the global name space, that coupled with some rearranging of the variable assignments got the code down to 282 characters.

Update II - Some more updates to the code to remove the use of != -1 as well as some better use of variables for longer operations.

Update - When through and made some changes by creating a reference to the indexOf function (thanks LiraNuna!) and removing parenthesis that were not needed.

This is my first time doing a code golf so I'm not sure how much better this could be, any feed back is appreciated.

House of Mirrors

Not an actual entry to the challenge, but I wrote a game based on this concept (not too long back).

It's written in Scala, open-source and available here:

It does a little bit more; deals with colors and various types of mirrors and devices, but version 0.00001 did exactly what this challenge asks. I have lost that version though and it was never optimised for character count anyway.

c (K&R) 339 necessary characters after more suggestions from strager.

The physicist in me noted that the propagation and reflection operations are time-reversal invariant, so this version, throws rays from the target and checks to see if the arrive at the laser emitter.

The rest of the implementation is very straight forward and is taken more or less exactly from my earlier, forward going effort.

Compressed:

#define R return
#define C case
#define Z x,y
int c,i,j,m[99][99],Z;s(d,e,Z){for(;;)switch(m[x+=d][y+=e]){C'^':R 1==e;
C'>':R-1==d;C'v':R-1==e;C'<':R 1==d;C'#':C'x':R 0;C 92:e=-e;d=-d;C'/':c=d;
d=-e;e=-c;}}main(){while((c=getchar())>0)c==10?i=0,j++:(c==120?x=i,y=j:
i,m[i++][j]=c);puts(s(1,0,Z)|s(0,1,Z)|s(-1,0,Z)|s(0,-1,Z)?"true":"false");}

Uncompressed(ish):

#define R return
#define C case
#define Z x,y
int c,i,j,m[99][99],Z;
s(d,e,Z)
{
  for(;;)
    switch(m[x+=d][y+=e]){
    C'^': 
      R 1==e;
    C'>': 
      R-1==d;
    C'v': 
      R-1==e;
    C'<': 
      R 1==d;
    C'#':
    C'x':
      R 0;
    C 92:
      e=-e;
      d=-d;
    C'/':
      c=d;
      d=-e;
      e=-c;
    }
}
main(){
  while((c=getchar())>0)
    c==10?i=0,j++:
      (c==120?x=i,y=j:i,m[i++][j]=c);
  puts(s(1,0,Z)|s(0,1,Z)|s(-1,0,Z)|s(0,-1,Z)?"true":"false");
}

There is no input validation, and bad input can send it into an infinite loop. Works properly with input no larger than 99 by 99. Requires a compiler that will link the standard library without including any of the headers. And I think I'm done, strager has me beat by a considerable stretch, even with his help.

I'm rather hoping someone will demonstrate a more subtle way to accomplish the task. There s nothing wrong with this, but it is not deep magic.

Still uses a generic state machine, rather than anything clever:

k="<>^v"
o(Just x)=x
s y(h:t)=case b of{[]->s(y+1)t;(c:_)->(c,length a,y)}where(a,b)=break(flip elem k)h
r a = f$s 0 a where f(c,x,y)=case i(a!!v!!u)"x /\\"["true",g k,g"v^><",g"^v<>"]of{Just r->r;_->"false"}where{i x y=lookup x.zip y;j=o.i c k;u=j[x-1,x+1,x,x];v=j[y,y,y-1,y+1];g t=f(j t,u,v)}
main=do{z<-getContents;putStrLn$r$lines z}

A readable version:

k="<>^v"    -- "key" for direction
o(Just x)=x -- "only" handle successful search
s y(h:t)=case b of  -- find "start" state
  []->s(y+1)t
  (c:_)->(c,length a,y)
 where (a,b)=break(flip elem k)h
r a = f$s 0 a where -- "run" the state machine (iterate with f)
 f(c,x,y)=case i(a!!v!!u)"x /\\"["true",g k,g"v^><",g"^v<>"] of
   Just r->r
   _->"false"
  where
   i x y=lookup x.zip y -- "index" with x using y as key
   j=o.i c k -- use c as index k as key; assume success
   u=j[x-1,x+1,x,x] -- new x coord
   v=j[y,y,y-1,y+1] -- new y coord
   g t=f(j t,u,v) -- recurse; use t for new direction

C++: 388 characters

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<deque>
#include<cstring>
#define w v[y][x]
using namespace std;size_t y,x,*z[]={&y,&x};int main(){string p="^v<>",s;deque<string>v;
while(getline(cin,s))v.push_back(s);while(x=v[++y].find_first_of(p),!(x+1));int

!strchr("#x<^v>",w));cout<<(w=='x'?"true":"false");}

(318 without headers)


How it works:

First, all lines are read in, then, the laser is found. The following will evaluate to 0 as long as no laser arrow was found yet, and the same time assign to x the horizontal position.

x=v[++y].find_first_of(p),!(x+1)

Then we look what direction we found and store it in i. Even values of i are top/left ("decreasing") and odd values are bottom/right ("increasing"). According to that notion, d ("direction") and r ("orientation") are set. We index pointer array z with orientation and add the direction to the integer we get. The direction changes only if we hit a slash, while it remains the same when we hit a back-slash. Of course, when we hit a mirror, then we always change orientation (r = !r).

C#

1020 characters.
1088 characters (added input from console).
925 characters (refactored variables).
875 characters (removed redundant Dictionary initializer; changed to Binary & operators)

Made a Point not to look at anyone else's before posting. I'm sure it could be LINQ'd up a bit. And the whole FindLaser method in the readable version seems awfully fishy to me. But, it works and it's late :)

Note the readable class includes an additional method that prints out the current Arena as the laser moves around.

class L{static void Main(){
A=new Dictionary<Point,string>();
var l=Console.ReadLine();int y=0;
while(l!=""){var a=l.ToCharArray();
for(int x=0;x<a.Count();x++)
A.Add(new Point(x,y),l[x].ToString());
y++;l=Console.ReadLine();}new L();}
static Dictionary<Point,string>A;Point P,O,N,S,W,E;
public L(){N=S=W=E=new Point(0,-1);S.Offset(0,2);
W.Offset(-1,1);E.Offset(1,1);D();
Console.WriteLine(F());}bool F(){
var l=A[P];int m=O.X,n=O.Y,o=P.X,p=P.Y;
bool x=o==m,y=p==n,a=x&p<n,b=x&p>n,c=y&o>m,d=y&o<m;

Perl 219
My perl version is 392 342 characters long (I had to handle the case of the beam hitting the laser):
Update, thanks Hobbs for reminding me of tr//, it's now 250 characters:
Update, removing the m in m//, changing the two while loops brought a few savings; there's now only one space required.
(L:it;goto L is the same length as do{it;redo}):

@b=map{($y,$x,$s)=($a,$-[0],$&)if/[<>^v]/;$a++;[split//]}<>;L:$_=$s;$x++if/>/;
$x--if/</;$y++if/v/;$y--if/\^/;$_=$b[$y][$x];die"true\n"if/x/;die"false\n"if
/[<>^v#]/;$s=~tr/<>^v/^v<>/if/\\/;$s=~tr/<>^v/v^></if/\//;goto L

I shaved some, but it barelyjust competes with some of these, albeit late.
It looks a little better as:

#!/usr/bin/perl
@b = map {
    ($y, $x, $s) = ($a, $-[0], $&) if /[<>^v]/;
    $a++;
    [split//]
} <>;
L:
    $_ = $s;
    $x++ if />/;
    $x-- if /</;
    $y++ if /v/;
    $y-- if /\^/;
    $_ = $b[$y][$x];
    die "true\n"  if /x/;
    die "false\n" if /[<>^v#]/;
    $s =~ tr/<>^v/^v<>/ if /\\/;
    $s =~ tr/<>^v/v^></ if /\//;
goto L

Well... Honestly this should be self explanatory if you understand that the @b is an array arrays of characters in each line, and can read the simple regexp and tr statements.

F# - 454 (or thereabouts)

Bit late to the game, but can't resist posting my 2d attempt.

Update modified slightly. Now stops correctly if transmitter is hit. Pinched Brian's idea for IndexOfAny (shame that line is so verbose). I haven't actually managed to work out how to get ReadToEnd to return from the Console, so I'm taking that bit on trust...

I'm pleased with this answer, as though it is quite short, it is still fairly readable.

let s=System.Console.In.ReadToEnd()       //(Not sure how to get this to work!)
let w=s.IndexOf('\n')+1                   //width
let h=(s.Length+1)/w                      //height
//wodge into a 2d array
let a=Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.Array2D.init h (w-1)(fun y x -> s.[y*w+x])
let p=s.IndexOfAny[|'^';'<';'>';'v'|]     //get start pos
let (dx,dy)=                              //get initial direction
 match "^<>v".IndexOf(s.[p]) with
 |0->(0,-1)
 |1->(-1,0)
 |2->(1,0)
 |_->(0,1)
let mutable(x,y)=(p%w,p/w)                //translate into x,y coords
let rec f(dx,dy)=
 x<-x+dx;y<-y+dy                          //mutate coords on each call
 match a.[y,x] with
 |' '->f(dx,dy)                           //keep going same direction
 |'/'->f(-dy,-dx)                         //switch dx/dy and change sign
 |'\\'->f(dy,dx)                          //switch dx/dy and keep sign
 |'x'->"true"
 |_->"false"
System.Console.Write(f(dx,dy))
