Castle Wall/Cave #2
(Eingestellt am 28. Mai 2021, 10:02 Uhr von MagnusJosefsson)
Regeln
Schwärze einige Felder, so dass alle ungeschwärzten Felder miteinander verbunden sind und alle Schwarzfelder mit dem Rand des Gitters verbunden sind.
Zeichne auch einen Rundweg durch einige der ungeschwärzten Felder, der die Mittelpunkte orthogonal benachbarter Felder verbindet und sich selbst nicht kreuzt.
Jeder Zahlenhinweis in ein ungeschwärztes Feld gibt an, wieviele ungeschwärzte Felder man von dem entsprechenden Feld aus in gerader Linie sehen kann, waagerecht und senkrecht in alle vier Richtungen zusammanaddiert; das Zahlenfeld selbst wird hierbei mitgezählt.
Jeder Zahlenhinweis in ein schwarzes Feld gibt die Gesamtlänge aller Rundwegsegmente an, in alle vier waagerechte/senkrechte Richtungen von dem Feld aus zusammanaddiert (dh die Anzahl der vertikalen Schritte, die der Rundweg in der Spalte des Felds ausführt, plus die Anzahl der horizontale Schritte, die der Rundweg in der Zeile des Felds ausführt).

Penpa + (die Lösungsprüfung funktioniert nur mit dunkelgraue Schattierungen und grüne Linien)
-------
Lösungscode: Zeile 9 gefolgt von Spalte 2. "I" für einen gerade Wegsegment , "L" für eine Drehung des Wegs, "W" für ein leeres ungeschwärztes Feld und "B" für ein schwarzes Feld.
Für das Beispiel-Rätsel Zeile 4/Spalte 1 wäre der Code ILLBBBLIIILB.

Superb puzzle again ! It did not feel that harder after solving the first one, just longer, and the connectivity logic really benefits from a bigger grid size here. That opening logic is so well crafted, with all the clues playing a double role. Thanks a lot :)

What a magnificent hybrid. Some spectacular interplay between the two rules that I would have not expected at first.

What an epic. I broke this twice, left it a while before coming back and finally conquering its mighty peak. Incredible stuff Magnus.

Amazing puzzle, one of the best I have solved!

Solving this puzzle was a colossal task, to say the least! It was hard to believe at first that any of these numbers could be restricted in such a big grid, but there was always just enough information to make progress. Thanks Magnus for another great puzzle!

Amazing once again. Took me forever to complete, but it was SO SATISFYING! Another masterpiece!

Absolutely stunning and elegant. This puzzle never broke until it was finally finished. Just a constant stream of beautiful logic from start to finish.
Thank you so much for this puzzle and the first one.

You're welcome! Thanks for solving, I'm really glad you liked it! :) /Magnus

Wow, another brilliant puzzle! I made a little mistake on the first try which got me stuck for a while; upon redoing the puzzle and correcting the error the solution flowed rather smoothly. Extremely fun and interesting puzzle type. Thanks to Aspartagcus for recommending this puzzle and to Magnus for setting it :)

Thank you Vebby for your nice words! :) /Magnus

What a puzzle! This was a ton of fun to solve all the way through. It flows smoothly and it is a joy to find every step of the narrow solution path.

Amazing - this is the kind of puzzle which just relentlessly gives and gives. While there aren't any prohibitively hard steps, it's exploding with intricate yet fair logic at every minuscule turn. There's such a fantastic variety of deductions enabled by combining these two rulesets. It's the kind of puzzle you can cozy up with, sink your teeth into, and forget the passage of time. I truly aspire to be able to set like this someday. Thank you! :)

Wow, thank you so much for this wonderful praise, PixelPlucker! Feedback like this truly warms my heart and motivates me to set more puzzles in the future :). /Magnus

Clarified the solution code example for the example puzzle.
am 3. Juni 2021, 11:47 Uhr von cdwg2000
For the example puzzle, the code is Row4 and Column1?
-------
Yes, exactly. Sorry about that, I copied the example from the previous puzzle and forgot that the rows and columns for the solution codes were different :). /Magnus

What a ride! This puzzle took me ages, and is probably the puzzle I've used the line helper the most in. But it was such an enjoyable solve! I loved the constant switching between the two puzzles types, and that every clue gave you just enough info to get you a little bit forward in the solve. Well done!
(Somehow, the answer check didn't work, though)
------
Thank you Aspartagcus, I'm really glad you liked it!
I like to use Composite->Loop->"Line or x" in Penpa for most loop puzzles, it lets you places lines normally and x's by right clicking. Very strange about the answer check, not sure why it didn't work for you. /Magnus

I really enjoyed test solving this one. The logic is just as fun and elegant as #1, but the scale of the undertaking makes finishing the solve so much more satisfying.

This is a larger and harder follow-up to my previous puzzle of similar name. For the smoothest experience, I would definitely recommend solving the original puzzle prior to attempting this one.
Please don't hesitate to post a hidden comment if you get stuck or have difficulties. I'll try to help out with a minimal hint of where to look next.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy the puzzle!
