Godzilla in Sudokutown
(Published on 21. September 2021, 05:35 by FryTheGuy)
Reports are coming in that Godzilla has just destroyed a large number of buildings in Sudokutown.
Figure out Godzilla's path through the town using clues about the skyscrapers which survived the attack.
Inspired by an amazing puzzle by PrimeWeasel Earthquake in Sudokutown #2.
RulesNormal sudoku rules apply.
Gray circles contain odd digits.
The numbers within the grid represent the heights of skyscrapers. Clues outside the grid indicate the number of visible skyscrapers in that row or column as seen from that vantage point.
Draw Godzilla's path through the grid that starts and ends in the gray cells. Godzilla's path cannot touch itself orthogonally or diagonally.
Cells on Godzilla's path do not count toward the skyscraper clues. (Godzilla destroys the skyscrapers)
Godzilla cannot go through cells containing the digit 9. (He is not powerful enough to destroy the tallest skyscrapers)
Solve the puzzle at f-puzzles
Solution code: Column 4, Row 4

Very nice. But had to make assumptions regarding the path: Godjira
- only moves orthogonally
- does not turn around

This was a lot of fun to solve and I love how the rules all make such perfect sense in the context of the theme!

Great Puzzle! It was a shame that the f-puzzle solver didnt work perfectly, but still, was a great new and fun ruleset!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!
I really enjoyed using snakes when creating my witness themed puzzles, so I started experimenting with other things I could do with them, and this was the result.
