Pzprxs has another new addition to its expansive roster: a Dotchi Dotchi Loop (translation: which which loop), which unfortunately means you're getting another one of these instead of the would-be Dotchi Dotchi Dotchi Loop, or maybe Dotchi Dotchi Loop Loop. The possibilities are infinite, so watch out for updates on this space.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells. Within a region, the loop must pass through all white circles and no black circles, or all black circles and no white circles. A region containing only white circles or only black circles must have its clues passed through. The loop must turn on black circles and go straight through white circles. (For clarification, the loop is allowed to visit a region multiple times).

Solving Note: In the pzprxs interface, you can click on a circle to mark all circles of that colour in its region with an X, which is useful once you've determined which colour is used in a given region.
