Emergence (Canal View/Nonogram variant)

(Published on 29. June 2022, 18:47 by dumediat)

This is the second puzzle that I created with this rule set, which is a variation of Canal Views and Nonogram rules. Any comments or feedback on this type of puzzle would be much appreciated! Please feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have any comments or questions. Please also feel free to try my other puzzles here, which includes a link to the first puzzle I created with this rule set called Family

Rules:

  • Shade some empty cells dark gray to create a single orthogonally connected canal. Numbered cells cannot be shaded as canals, and canal cells cannot form a 2x2 square anywhere in the grid. Each numbered cell indicates the total number of shaded canal cells connected vertically and horizontally (in a straight line) to that numbered cell. Numbered cells may have a value of 0.
  • In addition, each unshaded (ie, non-canal) region must be colored entirely as a single color selected from red, green, or blue. The clues outside the grid indicate the number of orthogonally connected unshaded cells of the respective color(s) in that row or column. If clues outside the row/column are given, those are all the clues for that row/column, and they appear in the same color order as the unshaded regions in that row/column; rows/columns without clues may have any number of unshaded cells. Unshaded cells of different colors must not touch orthogonally (ie, they must be separated by at least one canal cell). All numbered cells must be colored along with the other cells in their respective region.

The following is an example puzzle, which you may try in Penpa+ here to familiarize yourself with the rules:

Lots of fun, thanks!
It really should be clarified that there can exist more than one region of a single color (because I was a bit baffled whether each color would only form one or more than one region).

This ruleset is a really good invention or discovery or design (or as whatever authors feel their activity). Thanks a lot and more puzzles of this kind would be very fine.

Nice ruleset, with each impacting on each other all the time

(took me a few gos, but that was just my error as I kept breaking it by misreading the row 2 clue as >3 >3 >3 instead of what was written :)
>>dumediat: I am glad you enjoyed and stuck with it! :)
