[TSL][S1T5] Tunnel Vision
(Published on 22. May 2025, 21:01 by KenGlue)
This puzzle was my submission for turn 5 of the Skunkworks League, hosted by damasosos92.
The rule was originally created by SebastianSimon . You can find the puzzle "Path with opposite crosses" here.
You can also find introduction puzzles by damasosos92, as well as links to 2 other (and harder) recoil puzzles here.
Rules
Starting at the black diamond, draw a directed path through the centers of some cells in the grid. Path segments are drawn sequentially from cell to cell, such that the first path segment is drawn from the black diamond to an adjacent empty cell, the second segment is drawn from that cell to the next empty cell, and so on until the final segment is drawn and the path ends.
The path cannot branch or revisit a cell it has visited before.
Every time the path enters a new cell, a “recoiled cell” is placed in the first empty cell in the opposite direction. This recoiled cell may skip over gaps in the grid, other recoiled cells, or other path cells.
The path cannot enter a cell if its corresponding recoiled cell cannot be placed into the grid.
All cells of the grid must be visited by the path or contain a recoiled cell.
The Puzzle
Hope you enjoy the puzzle!

Solution code: Contents of row 5, followed by row 13 (fifth row from the bottom). Don't put any separating characters.
Write O if the path enters the cell, write X if it doesn't.

And you will probably see a lot more of them, jessica6. At least 35 people set a recoil in the last few weeks, and they are publishing them now that the turn ended!
