Next up in the Inaba backlog is another genre with a simple ruleset: Move Data. This genre uses Tapa-style clues, but was invented four years earlier!
Rules: Draw paths through the centers of cells such that each path starts from a shaded cell and all cells are used by a path. Paths may not cross each other or themselves. Clues represent the lengths of the line segments appearing along the path, not necessarily in order. Each number is used exactly once in its path.
(The half-length segments aren't required for answer check here; I just think they look nice.)
As usual, two puzzles today. The first one is small and uses a familiar theme.
(EDIT 11:16 AM: original puzzle contained a typo, which has been fixed.)
The second grid was built by drawing a solution, attempting to solve the puzzle, and tweaking the clues as I went. This worked out pretty well.
