Puzzle 31 (Akari)

First Akari puzzle!  I started dabbling in this genre a few days ago for Puzzle Ramayan purposes; some of the logic is quite nice :)

Puzzle 30 ("East Vs. West", Nurikabe)

Just making a post to announce that (as of a few days ago, whoops) I got my first puzzle on GMPuzzles!  I wrote and submitted this back in January, and it's also the only Nurikabe I've written, then or since :O

A picture of the puzzle is below for consistency reasons, but an online version is available on the GMPuzzles blog.

Puzzle 29 (Anglers Cave)

Was sufficiently interested in this variant from Grand Prix round 1 to give it a shot :)

Standard Cave rules apply. In addition, each number outside the grid represents an angler, each of whom has caught a different fish on their line. Their line is represented by a path that moves orthogonally from the angler to their fish, and the number represents the length of that line (or, the number of cells that line encounters, including the fish’s cell but not the angler). Angler’s lines may not overlap or cross each other. 

Angler’s lines must stay completely within the cave (including the fishes). It is possible for some cells in the cave to not contain an angler’s line.
