    "abstract": "We define a real-valued distance metric $wd$ on the space $\\mathcal{C}$ of short combinatorial games in canonical form. We demonstrate the existence of Cauchy sequences informed by sidling sequences, find limit points, and investigate the closure $\\overline{\\mathcal{C}}$, which is shown to partition the set of loopy games in a non-trivial way. Stoppers, enders, and non-stopper-sided loopy games are explored, as well as the topological properties of $(\\mathcal{C},wd)$.",
