Rätsel im Advent (19): Kuromasu-Tapa

(Published on 19. December 2015, 09:00 by usp)

Kuromasu: Blacken some empty cells such that no two black cells share an edge and all white cells are connected. Clues indicate how many white cells are visible from the respective cell, including itself.

Tapa: Blacken some empty cells such that all black cells are connected and no 2x2 area is completely black. Clues determine how many of the vertically, horizontally and diagonally adjacent cells are black. Each number corresponds to a connected group of black cells. Different groups of black cells around the same clue cell are separated by at least one white cell.

Additionally, the following rules apply:

Copy every black cell from Kuromasu (top) to Tapa (bottom). Cells with circles cannot be blackened.

Write a number (greater than 0) in every segment of a circle in Tapa. The sum of all numbers in a circle determines a clue at the same position in Kuromasu.

Solution code: Kuromasu: For every row from top to bottom the number of black cells - Tapa: For every row from top to bottom the length of the longest sequence of black cells
