Normal sudoku rules apply. Color every cell in the grid one of two colors such that all cells of each color are orthogonally connected and no 2x2 region is a single color. A digit in a square indicates how many cells of the same color are seen orthogonally from that position, including itself, where cells of the other color block vision. Diagonally adjacent cells may not contain the same digit.
