Star Nurikabe N±

(Published on 2. October 2021, 02:24 by BenceJoful)

(Almost) Standard 2-star Star Battle and Nurikabe rules apply.
  • Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one connected area.
  • No 2x2 region of cells may be entirely shaded.
  • Each clue is unshaded, and represents the size of the unshaded area it is in.
    N is to be determined by the solver. ? is any number.
  • Each unshaded area contains exactly 1 clue and 2 stars, and each row and column contains 2 stars.
  • Stars must be unshaded, and cannot touch each other (even diagonally) or overlap a clue.

Penpa+ link with solution check (using Surface for shading and Composite/Object/StarBattle)

Example (Penpa+ link):

Solution code:

Along lines A and B: for each continuous set of shaded cells, put the length of the set. For a star, put *.

In the above example, the solution code is *6**111*2.

Very tough for me, but very satisfying once I figured out the some of the steps in the midsolve
