Slide&Seek - The Black Sheep
(Published on 4. January 2025, 06:54 by Sniglett)
Slide and Seek
Move some shapes vertically and horizontally and draw a line through the path taken such that every cell is either a shape or path cell and no two similar shapes can see each other vertically or horizontally. Path cells cannot intersect, and shapes block vision of each other.
A digit in a shape defines the exact quantity of cells that it will move.
Black shapes MUST be moved.

@Sniglett (re: @MattYDraig's point) - Chameleon is very good about assisting setters with these kinds of unique puzzles in their software; could maybe reach out to them on Discord and see what they say.
I've reached out to Chameleon already, waiting to see what they say. I agree that it would help a lot with visualizing what's going on.

The concept is really nice but it could definitely use some sort of native support from the solving apps to clean up the actual play of it. As a proof of concept though it was really well done.
