Castle Wall/Cave
(Eingestellt am 13. Mai 2021, 23:00 Uhr von MagnusJosefsson)
Regeln
Schwärze einige Felder, so dass alle ungeschwärzten Felder miteinander verbunden sind und alle Schwarzfelder mit dem Rand des Gitters verbunden sind.
Zeichne auch einen Rundweg durch einige der ungeschwärzten Felder, der die Mittelpunkte orthogonal benachbarter Felder verbindet und sich selbst nicht kreuzt.
Jeder Zahlenhinweis in ein ungeschwärztes Feld gibt an, wieviele ungeschwärzte Felder man von dem entsprechenden Feld aus in gerader Linie sehen kann, waagerecht und senkrecht in alle vier Richtungen zusammanaddiert; das Zahlenfeld selbst wird hierbei mitgezählt.
Jeder Zahlenhinweis in ein schwarzes Feld gibt die Gesamtlänge aller Rundwegsegmente an, in alle vier waagerechte/senkrechte Richtungen von dem Feld aus zusammanaddiert (dh die Anzahl der vertikalen Schritte, die der Rundweg in der Spalte des Felds ausführt, plus die Anzahl der horizontale Schritte, die der Rundweg in der Zeile des Felds ausführt).
Beispiel:

Penpa + (die Lösungsprüfung funktioniert nur mit dunkelgraue Schattierungen und grüne Linien)
-------
Lösungscode: Zeile 4 gefolgt von Spalte 1. "I" für einen gerade Wegsegment , "L" für eine Drehung des Wegs, "W" für ein leeres ungeschwärztes Feld und "B" für ein schwarzes Feld.
Für das Beispiel-Rätsel wäre der Code ILLBBBLIIILB.

It's been a while since I solved one of your puzzles. This was a great pleasure to solve. Loved how some clues were used multiple times throughout. Gonna try the big one next ! Thanks :)
PS : the penpa links don't work anymore. I think they need an update with tinyurl.

Really fun! The key realizations about the ruleset were surprisingly natural for me.

Loads of fun, thanks!

What a cracker. I thought I was going to be left feeling like a dunce by the clever folk of LMD who rated this at 3 stars. I usually ignore the example puzzle, but in this case I tried it and it proved to be very useful. The logic then flowed in the main puzzle much more smoothly. (Still not 3 star for me though!)

Very surprising logic, thought I had broken it at first :) Thanks!

@horanayru: Could you maybe post your solution in a hidden comment, so we can help you better?

Loved the puzzle! This is such a natural combination of rules, and was a blast to solve.
I'm having trouble entering the solution code though - anybody able to validate the code is still setup correctly? I got the solution validated from Penpa, but the transcribed row 4 + column 1 is not accepted here.

Thank you horanayru, and thanks for solving! Glad you were able to sort out the solution code input with some help (thanks Phistomefel :) ) /Magnus

What a nice puzzle! The two rulesets harmonize really well to allow for some lovely logic. Thank you, Magnus! :)

Fantastic puzzle! I found the break-in slightly tricky, in a good way, and then there were just beautiful deduction upon beautiful deduction. Very enjoyable!

Thank you very much Aspartagcus! I'm really glad you liked it. It was quite enjoyable to set as well, so I'm working on a larger puzzle with the same ruleset that I hope to post in a week or two. :)

Amazing idea and puzzle! At this rate, you're setting the bar quite high for all your future puzzles ;)

Thank you Mark, you are too kind :). Incidentally, your incredible Castle Sudoku was the main reason I wanted to try to set a Castle Wall variant in the first place.

Oh wow! That's really really good! The rule set works really well and it's really fun! that break in is fabulous, really...
I enjoyed a lot! Thanks for the puzzle! :))

Thank you BMEP! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Most likely I will make a larger follow-up to this puzzle since many solvers seem to have liked it. :)

This hybrid puzzle requires slightly different logic than what you may be used to from the original puzzle types. For this reason, it might feel a little bit challenging to get started, but the puzzle should roll smoothly once you get a grip on the ruleset.
As always, don't hesitate to post a hidden comment if you get stuck or have difficulties -- I'll try to help with a small hint.
