Battle Of Sudoku

Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!

Love Sudoku and want to challenge friends? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version where you compete against other players or teams. The goal is classic Sudoku: fill a 9x9 grid with digits 1-9, ensuring each row, column, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits.

Before starting, choose a difficulty level (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest). This sets the initial numbers, which all players must solve simultaneously. Everyone receives the same puzzle.

Game Modes:

The game offers two modes, selectable in the options:

• Show Opponent's Correct Numbers: Each correct number placed is visible to all players. Only the first player to correctly place a number earns points. Duplicate numbers are disallowed.
• Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Correct numbers are only visible to the player who placed them. Players can earn points for the same numbers.

Time-Outs:

Incorrect entries result in a time-out (configurable, default 30 seconds), preventing the player from making further moves while others continue.

Points:

Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct entry. Incorrect entries deduct half the points earned for a correct entry.

Winning the Game:

The game ends when the puzzle is solved. In the mode where correct numbers are visible, the player with the most points wins. If opponent's correct numbers are hidden, the game ends when one player solves it, though this doesn't grant extra points; other players can still win by having fewer incorrect entries.

Team vs. Individual Play:

Team play allows two teams to compete. Players choose a team (1 or 2) upon joining. At least two players per team are required. Team points are cumulative, and notes/filled colors are shared within teams, enabling collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar provides tools for solving:

• Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to squares. Selecting a number already present in a square removes it.
• Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares (including solved ones).
