Yajilin Sudoku
(Eingestellt am 19. Juli 2020, 12:39 Uhr von Madmahogany)
This puzzle is a combination of a Yajilin puzzle and Sudoku
Yajilin Rules: You need to place some blocks in the grid. The grey cells are clues for the number of blocks in the given direction. Blocks cannot touch orthogonally. The remainder of the grid (not blocks or clues) must be a part of a single continuous non-intersecting loop. The answer code will involve the length of horizontal/vertical loop segments in a row/column respectively. This is the number of cells the loop travelled along that row or column until it turned out of it. Multiple loop segments are represented separately (i.e. if the loop goes one cell along the row, leaves and returns to the row and goes 4 cells, the answer would be 14, not 5)
Sudoku Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. The digits present in the grey cells act as the Yajilin clues. Also, the loop can only turn in an odd cell.
Here's the Penpa-Link for solving
Lösungscode: The length of horizontal loop segments in Row 2 (separate loop segments written separately), followed by the length of vertical loop segments in Col 2 (separate loop segments written separately), followed by the digits in Row 2, then Col 2

@Madmahogany and @Lizzy01: Thanks for the clarification. I never would have thought of that.

Updated solution code, and clarification of Yajilin solution code

@Nylimb I had some trouble with this too. It turned out it's the lengths in segments per part of the path, so if there were to be 3 parts, one of length 1, one of length 5, and another of length 1, that part of the code would be 151, not 7 or 3. (using random example cuz i don't know how to make only you see this)

@henrypijames - Yajilin loops can and in fact must touch themselves orthogonally, so no, it's not quite like a snake.

Is the "single continuous non-intersecting loop" basically a one cell wide snake biting its own tail (aka a ouroboros)?
@henrypijames Yes, it should be a closed loop.
