The [[Lynx]] | The [[Lynx ruleset]] has relatively few glitches, and many of those that exist do not have wiki pages or even names yet. | ||
=== Release Desynchronization === | |||
{{main|Release desynchronization}} | |||
This glitch, also known as '''clone desynchronization''' due to the way it was discovered, causes some cloning streams to desynchronize over time when they would synchronize in MS. | |||
=== Shove Aside === | |||
''Official name pending''. The '''Shove Aside Glitch''', often referred to slangily as '''The Stupid Glitch''', is not actually a glitch, but an exploit of the way Lynx [[move order|processes movement]]. This term refers to a specific application in which a monster sees a direction as open, turns to face that direction, then finds that for whatever reason it is no longer able to enter the tile. The most notable cases of this are when a [[bug]], [[paramecium]], [[glider]], or [[fireball]] turns around because a [[block]] just moved into a space beside it or a [[toggle wall]] changed from open to closed, whereas if the block were always there, or the toggle wall were always closed, the monster would choose a different direction. An example of this is in the [[public TWS]] for [[Stratagem]]. | |||

While [[Chip's Challenge 2]] is coded much more professionally than MSCC, it has its fair share of bugs and bizarre behaviors as well. Most of these behaviors do not have wiki pages yet, but compilations of them can be seen [https://hw0.eu/cc2/trac/query here] and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jH8N1aQv0Uoq44UdFJklv1n-2dXeKthkM6tyvtqt1XU here]. In addition, many of these glitches have not received any official name yet. | While [[Chip's Challenge 2]] is coded much more professionally than MSCC, it has its fair share of bugs and bizarre behaviors as well.

{{dablink|See: [[Item#Hook]]}} | |||

This will often result in the player's death, as their inability to move allows the monster to collide with them. | ''Official name pending''.

===Turtle Invisibility=== | === Turtle Invisibility === | ||
''Official name pending''. If the player drops a [[bowling ball]] while on a [[turtle]], they will become invisible, and the turtle will turn to water. If a monster passes over the water tile while the player is invisible, they will survive the encounter. Visibility will be restored at the player's next valid move (pressing an acting wall does not count). Attempting to drop another item, regardless of whether there is one in the inventory or not, will crash the game. This glitch can also sometimes result in the Waterbirth Glitch (see below). | ''Official name pending''.
