Draw a non-intersecting loop that travels orthogonally through the centers of some cells. Cells have three types: "empty" if they do not contain the loop, "turn" if the loop turns 90 degrees, and "straight" if the loop passes straight through. A digit in an arrow cell counts how many cells of the same type as itself can be seen in the indicated direction (the count does not include the clue cell). |

If i saw that puzzle earlier, i might change the flow entirely. The reason why i want to set it is because the sudoku hybrid is so unsatisfying. The loop coverage is snake level. I usually expect a simple loop level coverage. Since i can’t find one, i need to set one.
As for this puzzle, i don’t think it’s U-bahn like. It’s very yajilin for me. It’s my first time deal with loops. I can’t deal with simple loop because i have no control of how the loop will go. But this idea actually gives me things to control the loop to make it possible. As for the reason why i chose 10x10, i’ve been told 10 is the minimum size to avoid puzzle from being too easy-boring. And i know mine is going to be easy to save me from playtesting
Another word, it’s pure luck i stumble onto this puzzle. I was going to post my last puzzle because i really don’t check this portal that much as before. Even if i want to deny it, i don’t think i care about this portal any more. My last word for setters, don’t be afraid to set a new idea. Think about me, i set all this with pen and paper(more like cellphone doodle and photoshoping) i can overcome all this problem, you who have software at hand can do it. Just think this is the last puzzle you will ever set for this idea, what will you do to not regret.
Lösungscode: Row 4 and column 4(20 alphabet)E for empty, T for turn, S for straight
