Compound Tapa, Overboard tapa

Three tapa variations...

Compound tapa: Some clues are simple and some are compound. A digit either represents the length of a black cell block as in standard tapa, or ,the total of black cells in multiple blocks. For example, a (3) can mean (3), or (1,2) or (1,1,1).

Overboard tapa: The clues outside indicate one or two blocks of shaded cells in the upto 3 cells touching the clue (if 1,3 is the clue, then the block inside is either 1 or 3 )

Tapa winds: Atleast one digit in every clue cell also indicates the total number of cells shaded in the same way as the lines in a four winds puzzle,in all four directions.
