On the Subject of The Heptabutton

Seven vertices and seven edges; seven seas and seven stages.

Note:

• A TAP is a HOLD for 0 timer ticks.
• Keep track of the button’s color each stage.

Stage 1:

• TAP on last digit = (number of letters on the button’s label + first digit of the S#) % 10.

Stage 2:

• B_R = (sum of Stage 1’s and Stage 2’s colors’ Red values) % 3.
• B_G = (sum of Stage 1’s and Stage 2’s colors’ Green values) % 3.
• B_B = (sum of Stage 1’s and Stage 2’s colors’ Blue values) % 3.
• B_RG = 3×B_R + B_G.
• HOLD on last digit = B_RG,
  RELEASE on (last digit % 3) = B_B.

Stage 3:

• Convert the first letter of the S# into Morse Code.
  d = number of dots, s = number of dashes.
• C_H = d + 3×s.
• C_R = last digit of the S#.
• HOLD on last digit =
  • If in Zen mode, |C_R - (C_H % 10)|.
  • Otherwise, (C_R + C_H) % 10.
  HOLD for C_H timer ticks (and RELEASE on last digit = C_R).
  • Note whether or not the button changes color when held correctly.

Stage 4:

• If the button changed color when held correctly in Stage 3, TAP on last digit = 0.
• Otherwise, HOLD on last digit = batteries % 10, and for 6-8 timer ticks.

Stage 5:

• Convert every letter on the button’s label into Tap Code.
  R = sum of row numbers,
  C = sum of column numbers,
• To determine X:
  • If R is divisible by 7, X = 7.
  • Otherwise, if R is divisible by 11, X = (sum of S# digits) % 10.
  • Otherwise, if R does not contain any digits in the S#, X = |first S# digit - last S# digit|.
  • Otherwise, if R > C, X = (R + C).
  • Otherwise, X = 0.
• To determine Y, follow the steps for determining X above, but swap R and C.
• If the number of letters of the button’s label is:
  • odd, HOLD on last digit = X,
    RELEASE on last digit = Y.
  • even, HOLD on last digit = Y,
    RELEASE on last digit = X.

Stage 6:

• If the button is the same color as it was at any previous stage, TAP on last digit = earliest stage number with the current color.
• Otherwise, if the button’s label has exactly 7 letters, TAP on last digit = 7.
• Otherwise, TAP on last digit = (sum of alphabetic positions of letters on the button’s label) % 10.

Stage 7:

• S = sum of all stages’ colors’ RGB values + (sum of S# digits) % 18.
• If the total number of modules on the bomb does not contain the digit 7, subtract S from 60.
• If S < 10, prepend a zero to it.
• HOLD on seconds digits = S, and for 7 timer ticks.
