Japanese Forest Walk (2)
(Published on 13. November 2025, 15:18 by KNT)
Draw a totally connected loop network that travels orthogonally from cell center to cell center in some cells of the grid. On cells with a number, the network must turn or go straight. On cells without a number, the network must form a three way junction.
A green cell must not be empty, and must be visited by the network. The number placed in a green cell indicates how many cells make up the continuous non-empty section of the network that the number is on. On any such section (that may or may not have a green cell), numbers must not repeat.

Solution code: Row 4, Column 7, X for an empty cell, L for a left facing T, R for a right facing T, U for an up facing T, D for a down facing T, otherwise the number.

Very nice! Some sneaky bits of logic in there, well done!

Good grief, that was another hell of a ride there!
The logic around the first half was very cleanly designed, then there came one particular spike in the middle that took me like forever to understand but thankfully, I managed to (somewhat) grasp the key ideas and then finally finished strong towards the end x)

Lots of really cool logic throughout! I think I learned a bit about adding numbers.
