Portaly Shivers
(Published on 12. March 2025, 00:53 by Pixel_StrengthReal)
These puzzles were inspired by my puzzle "Slide And Seek #2: Sliding into Portals". Thank you to Wisty for helping me with setting the main puzzle. There is an example puzzle below.
RULES:
• Draw non-intersecting orthogonal lines of at least 3 cells ("shivers") in the grid such that every unshaded cell has a line on it. Shivers turn at every cell except their endpoints.
• A large number in a cell indicates the exact count of cells that shiver occupies.
• Shivers may not pass through bold borders.
• Dashed squares are endpoints.
• Labelled circles are portals. A shiver may not start or end on a portal. If a shiver enters a portal vertically, it must leave the other side horizontally, and vice versa. Portal pairs count as 2 cells for shivers.
• X and Y must each represent a consistent number every time they appear. X and Y may be the same number, if they so desire.

Solution code: The Solution Code is the count of shivers in each row.
