Chaos Construction--ZhangYi
This puzzle is a variant of a Wall Sudoku puzzle. Chaos Construction--ZhangYi005.
1. Divide the grid into orthogonal connected areas, and write a number from 1 to 8 and a pentagram in each cell, so that each row, column, and region contains exactly one number from 1 to 8 and a pentagram;
2.Draw a white dot between all orthogonally adjacent cells of the same region that contain consecutive numbers. Some of these dots are already given;
3. The pentagram represents any number, which means that it is continuous with any number.
4. Each given clue in the grid is arranged by two numbers in ascending order. A number corresponds to the number of cells plus the number of white dots seen in a row. The other number corresponds to the number of cells plus the number of white dots that appear in that column. The cue cell itself is included (in both counts). All possible white dots are counted, whether given or not. The boundary of the district blocks the view. In addition, a number of the clue must correspond to a number in the cell with the clue;
5. All possible number clues are given.
In the sample, R2C5(33) cell is filled with a pentagram, which is continuous with R1C5 and R2C6, so white dots need to be added to separate it. In this way, three cells can be seen in both horizontal and vertical directions, and each cell contains one white dot.
R4C1 (26), indicating that 2 cells can be seen in the horizontal direction and 6 cells can be seen in the vertical direction. The visible cell in the vertical direction contains 2 unmarked white dots.

Very nice puzzle! The pentagram added an interesting new flavor, while still keeping the ruleset simple and elegant.

Very nice! I think the rules should say "1 to 8 and a pentagram", rather than "1 to 9 and a pentagram"?
