(Published on 2. March 2025, 10:00 by goodcity)
- Star Battle : Place stars into some cells so that there are two stars in each row and column. No two stars can touch, even diagonally.
- Mid-Loop : Draw a non-intersecting, non-branching loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every clue. Each clue marks the center of the straight line segment it lies on.
- Interaction : Stars act as Mid-Loop clues.
The puzzle is available online via penpa+
Solution code: For each cell in row 2 from left to right, enter I if the loop goes straight through the cell, L if the loop turns in the cell, and X if the loop does not go through the cell.
