		+	A version of the Python offline solver (see below) is available at https://moxomatosis.github.io/oculus.html. You need to enter the state of the Oculus as a sequence of letters matching the colors. When a color points up, enter the letter in uppercase, otherwise use lowercase. An example would be rOygBiV. The output will be a sequence of flips to perform to get the proper result. Note that the output may be upside down, so you may need to flip the Oculus to complete the puzzle.

	These triggers (put them in a class folder so you can easily disable them later) produce two variables: @oculus, which counts how many times the oculus has been rotated, and @count, which tells the script how many times runes have been flipped. You only get 15 moves, so when the 15th move occurs, it restarts the script. When the oculus has been rotated 5 times, the script attempts to make you enter the portal (assuming success.) If that fails, it moves on to flipping the current first rune until count restarts it.

		+	This solution uses only basic functions of Tintin. It's important to make sure that your screen is big enough so none of the trigger elements wrap around and that you have the Oculus identified. It first flips all the runes on the Oculus upwards and will then flip only the first rune until the Oculus resets or the portal appears.
