This puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg.
Shade some cells so that the shaded cells are all connected orthogonally by other shaded cells to the edge of the grid, and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area.
Clues represent the total number of cells of the same shading that can be seen in a straight, uninterrupted line vertically or horizontally, including itself.
Solution code: The sizes of all orthogonally connected areas of shaded cells, clockwise in order of attachment to the edge, starting in the top left. Use X for an area of 10 cells or larger. (For the 8x8 example, the code would be 61X44)

Maybe this shouldn't have been the first cave puzzle I've ever tried, but the satisfaction & enjoyment of solving it more than makes up for my lack of judgment. No regrets!

Do cells outside the grid obstruct a cell's view, like R1-9C9? I guess they do.
Reply from wooferzfg: Yes, they do.
