Masyu - Non-identical neghbours

This is another masyu variation that i developed recently.
Rules: Draw a single closed loop passing through adjacent squares,moving only horizontally or vertically.The loop cannot visit any square more than once.At every white circle,the loop must go straight and turn on either or both of the squares visited immediately before and immediately after.At every black circle, the loop must turn,and go straight through both the squares visited right before and right after.Additionally,after the puzzle is solved,you cannot legally place a circle of the same color orthogonally adjacent to any of the given circles.

Myopic fencing


I think myopia and fences make a good combination.Both are loops along the edges and clues from each type work together nicely.This introductory example is almost easy.

Rules: Draw a single closed loop along the gridlines.The lines indicate the direction in which the loop is the closest to that cell.The numbers indicate how many edges of a cell are used by the loop.

Rules: Draw a snake,1-cell wide,not touching itself.The snake cannot visit the clue cells.The clues indicate in which direction(s) the snake is closest to the cell as seen form the cell.
