Loop Compass
(Published on 9. April 2024, 09:00 by Agent)
Draw a non-intersecting loop that travels orthogonally through the centers of some empty cells.
Each orthogonally connected group of cells not visited by the loop consists of a single region. Each region must contain exactly one compass.
A number in a compass indicates how many cells belong to its region that are further in the indicated direction than the compass itself.
Solution code: The number of turns of the loop in each row, from top to bottom.

Magnificant puzzle. Thought I deducted wrong and decided to start from the beginning, but then it turned out that the author is just crazy. Really crazy. Fluent ending comforted my emotional breakdown. Amazing!!

Awesome puzzle! Great variant combination, lots of fun logic.
(also nice to see I'm not the only one that tried to enter the solution code from the discord version, lol)

Dürfen sich Regionen an einer Ecke berühren?
-- Ja, das Berühren einer Ecke ist erlaubt, das Berühren einer Kante jedoch nicht.

Me, during the mid-solve of every Agent pencil-puzzle hybrid: "Hmm, this was going smoothly but I think I broke it. There's no way this seemingly-innocuous clue can be satisfied... /checks work/ No, I don't think I made a mistake. How can this possibly work? Unless... maybe this has to go there... oh dear God that is incredible!"

Very satisfying solve! The path is so unexpected that there were few times I thought I've broken the puzzle!

I solved it but I can't get the code right
-- @BBB, for the example puzzle the solution code would be 4622242.
