Walker

Today’s GAPP is a Nagareru-Loop, one of the still-remaining puzzlink genres not covered on GAPP! I like to think of the arrows clues as gusts of wind that push you around as you’re trying to walk around a loop. Watch out for the wind tunnel on the left!

Also, have you ever noticed the unique background tilings on puzzlink interfaces? The Nagareru-Loop one is one of my favorites - it's simple, but represents the genre nicely, I think!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells and define its direction of travel. The loop may not travel through black cells. Whenever the loop moves into the line of sight of an arrow on a black cell, it must move at least one cell in the direction the arrow points. Arrows on black cells see in a straight line, and cannot see through other black cells. The loop must travel straight through arrows in white cells in the direction of the arrow.

Note: The loop is allowed to not visit any cells in the direction of a white arrow.
