[TSL][S1T3] Chiaroscuro / Snake Egg Permaculture

(Published on 1. March 2025, 02:11 by yttrio)

This is my entry for turn 3 of season 1 of The Skunkworks League, hosted by damasosos92. In this round, the prompt was to create a permaculture from a list of pencil puzzle types, with a specific hole shape within the grid.

Rules:
Permaculture: Divide the grid into two non-overlapping areas of orthogonally connected cells. Note that there is a hole in the grid that is not part of either area. One area must obey Chiaroscuro rules, and the other must obey Snake Egg rules.

Chiaroscuro: Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected shaded cells have an even number of cells and all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells have an odd number of cells. A clue represents the size of its group of shaded/unshaded cells. Two groups cannot have the same shape and size, counting rotations and reflections as the same.

Snake Egg: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not branch and not touch itself orthogonally. The start and end of the snake must be determined by the solver. Exactly one orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must exist of each size from 1 to N, where N must be determined by the solver. Cells with numbers cannot be shaded, and represent the size of the area they’re in.

This one was SO hard for me. When you finally ask the right questions, it collapses perfectly, though!

Wild puzzle. Took a looooong time to finally ask the right questions, but once asked the answers to those questions were super cool!
