🔭 Hmm what's that up in the sky? Is it a Knapp-Daneben Yajisan-Kazusan? No... Is it a Toroidal Cipher Pata? No... Is it a two-colored star battle whose stars behave as Masyu clues? No... It's clearly the fourth choice for what's seen in my telescope! And it's aptly named, a Tetroscope!

Rules: Shade some tetrominoes of cells such that no two tetrominoes touch each other, not even diagonally. Exactly one tetromino must be placed of each of the seven possible shapes, counting rotations as the same but reflections as different. A clue represents how many of the (up to) four cells it touches are shaded.

Try the example here, which uses the set of triominoes instead of tetrominoes: https://tinyurl.com/2qug4cf7
