Splashery

The name. Drag it sideways to see what it names, or down to look from above.

Every name here is solid.

Turn it sideways and it's the thing it names. Tip it toward you and it's a QR code that opens it. The same points, every time. Nothing in the block moves. Only you do.

How it can be

From the front, a point shows only how far across it is and how high. From the side, only how deep it is and how high. So every row of the block can borrow its across from the same row of the name, and its depth from the same row of the thing, and both views come out exact.

Seen from above, each point shows its across and its depth, and nothing else. Every point is placed where that lands on a dark square of a real QR code. Where the name and the thing can't reach a square, a thin floor carries the rest. The floor is only an edge from the front and the side.

Near a face, each point shows the bit of the picture it stands for, so the face comes up sharp. A few points can't sit right for every view, about 6 in every 100, and each one fades out in the last two degrees before a face it doesn't belong to. None of them moves.

A Splash is a 3D thing made of soft points of paint called splats. The Playground lets you poke, paint, blow on, and take apart all 460 of them. Here, each one is also a block.

The red line is the same row, from the front and from the side. Tap or drag on the pictures to move it.
