Lopsy

From Witscopedia
Lopsy Website

Lopsy is a website for modded witness made by TheJonyMyster, with the title spoofing Looksy.

Starting Page

The first thing people see when starting this page is a text of "Lopsy" on top, the instruction of controls in computer, a button to toggle the visibility screen buttons, and the starting panel of dotboxes.

The control are as follows:

wasd/arrows to control line

space/enter to toggle solve mode & submit solutions

tab/t to choose start point

a&d/left&right to navigate between puzzles while not in solve mode

shift+0 to select a different puzzle set

Control Spoilers
Experimenting with the keyboard allows for hidden controls.

8426 act as WASD, and & skips a panel, although this is a debug feature and will be removed in the future.

There are 6 puzzle sets shown, the 6 puzzle sets are bends, coolhex, dotboxes, ribbons, shovels, and shovels2.

There are multiple symbols as well.

Image Symbol Author Rule
Dot Jonathan Blow
Rule Spoilers
The dot must be visited by the line.
Stone Jonathan Blow
Rule Spoilers
Squares must have more squares of the same color (including itself) in the region than of any single different colors.
Sun Jonathan Blow
Rule Spoilers
Suns must be paired with exactly one other symbol of the same color
Tent sus1d1p
Rule Spoilers
  1. Tents all have to have at last one drawn edge adjacent to it.
  2. Same colored tents have the same amount of drawn edges adjacent to each other.
  3. Different colored tents have a different amount of drawn edges adjacent to each other.

Perfect mode makes it so that the goal of the panel is to have all permutations of values (barring the value of 4) solved

Bend TheJonyMyster
Rule Spoilers
The symbol has to be visited by the line[1] and must describe the shape of the line according to polymino behavior, where regions are determined by the line segments undescribed by the symbol and the line itself.
Coolhex TheJonyMyster
Rule Spoilers
Starting on the coolhex startpoint will swap all rules for "same color" with "different color" and vice versa.
Dotbox TheJonyMyster
Rule Spoilers
The symbol has to be in a region where it has X amount of concave angles, where X are the dots inside the box.
Ribbon TheJonyMyster
Rule Spoilers
Ribbons may or may not be visited, but must label the only uninterrupted line segment with the same orientation and length. Vertices interrupt line segments.
Shovel TheJonyMyster
Rule Spoilers
The shovel is a starting point for the spelunker. The spelunker, when "above" the line, can move perpendicularly to the shovel's direction if there's no line blocking the way, otherwise, it falls to the shovel's direction infinitely until they hit a line segment "below". The amount of shovels is the amount of continuous line segments the spelunkers can land on.

Hidden features

Leaks and more spoilers ahead
There are lots of hidden things not shown in the website at first sight. Using developer tools allows for more hidden features.

"HBDJ": The code Date().includes("v 17") ? log("HBDJ") : 0; is cryptic, as it pulls a particular date to log particular letters.[2]

Rickrolling: Theres a line of code referencing a soundbite of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". Its never referenced anywhere else.

Additional sets: There are additional puzzle sets not mentioned, here are the list of such:

  • matter
  • testset
  • linepent
  • octavia's_clouds
  • thefullestcircle's_bars
  • snowflakes
  • whysodown

As such, these have additional symbols.

  1. Unless it turns out antibends exist and work like antiminoes, with the exception it can be used outside the line, but idk.
  2. just kirb's theory is that it is a reference to a song called "HBDJ", a song released in november 27, matching the date on the command. Unfortunately, 17 does not equal 27 so one is left wondering what kirb is talking about
