Nate H [Curve Data]
(Published on 11. January 2025, 15:52 by wisty)
This is a puzzle I speed set for SeveNateNine to showcase some general curve data logic. I wound up being really happy with how that turned out, so, here it is!
Rules:
• Draw lines between the centers of cells such that each connected figure goes through exactly one clue, and all cells are used by exactly one figure.
• Lines cannot go through bold borders.
• Clues indicate the exact way in which each line of a figure are shaped, not allowing rotation or reflection. However, the length of each line segment in the figure can be expanded or reduced, as long as it is at least 1.
This genre definitely benefits from a visual example, so please note the rules page on puzz.link explains each rule. If that is not enough, here is another puzzle, "Red Herring", with a spoilered solution!
Solution code: For each column except the last, the number of lines leading right from that column

Very cool puzzle, thanks! It looked scary, but had lovely logic all the way through :-D

Fun puzzle. First time I try a curve data. Took me a bit of thinking to understand the twist of the given shapes. Nice discovery. Thanks :)

Edit: Oh! I see now that it is not reflected. It simply has varied lengths, which, in this particular case, make it appear to be reflected.
Clarifying question for someone unfamiliar with this rule set: the rules link you shared with examples of correct and incorrect solutions shows a mirrored shape as a viable solution, but the rules say shapes should not be rotated or reflected. Am I missing something?
