As I am writing this, the finals for this year's WSC have just started (assuming they're running on schedule), which means in about one and a half days, WPC will begin! Hence, here is my last genre picked from the event: Vista (formerly known as Office, I'm sure there's a Microsoft joke here) is what you get when you take Kurodoko and draw edges instead of shading cells. I'm curious if this would also work well for other dynasty genres like Guide Arrow, Oasis or Territory.

Rules: Place some walls between cells so that all cells of the grid remains connected. Each clue indicates the total number of cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including itself. Clues cannot see through walls.
