32 - Myopia
Today's new puzz.link genre is Myopia. This was a genre that I really wanted to see on puzz.link at some point. While it probably doesn't quite make it into my top 5 genres, it's still a genre I like quite a bit!
For those who don't know, puzz.link is open source and accepts community contributions. So with quite a bit of help from X_Sheep, I was able to implement Myopia myself! So if you end up finding any bugs, you can blame me.
Although they're all marked as 3 Krows, I think there's a noticeable jump between the first two and the third in terms of difficulty. If you get stuck, try shading the loop. It can help reveal things.
I'm especially happy with how the first puzzle came out.
Here's the rules and example from the rules page:
Draw lines along the edges of some cells to form a loop. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. Arrows point towards the lines closest to the clue. If a clue has multiple arrows, the distance to the closest line must be the same. Directions without an arrow must have a line further away, or not have a line in that direction.
As usual, I've made 3 puzzles to celebrate the new genre. Kudamono also has a Myopia implementation, so I've included links to those as well:

Having implemented this genre makes me much more willing to implement other genres in future, once I find the time. I'll have to consider what I'd like to add next...
Thanks for sharing the puzzles and for adding the new mode. The third one did take longer, but was satisfying.
