Battle Of Sudoku

Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown

Love Sudoku? Want to compete against friends or teams? Battle of Sudoku offers a multiplayer twist on the classic puzzle game. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all numbers from 1 to 9.

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

Game Modes:

The game offers two modes, configurable in the options:

• Show Opponent's Correct Numbers: Each correctly placed number is visible to all players. Only the first player to correctly place a number earns points for that number.

• Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Players cannot see each other's correct numbers. This allows multiple players to earn points for the same number.

Time-Outs:

Incorrectly placed numbers result in a time-out, preventing the player from making further moves while others continue. The time-out duration is customizable (default: 30 seconds).

Points:

Correctly placed numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct number. Incorrect placements deduct points (half the value of a correct placement).

Winning the Game:

The game ends when the puzzle is solved. The player with the most points wins. If "Show Opponent's Correct Numbers" is disabled, the game ends when one player solves the puzzle, though this doesn't grant extra points; other players can still win by making fewer mistakes.

Team Play vs. Individual Play:

Team play allows two teams to compete. Players select their team (1 or 2) upon joining. A minimum of two players per team is required. Points are added to the team's total score, and notes/filled colors are shared among teammates, enabling collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar provides tools for solving:

• Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to squares. Selecting a number already present removes it.

• Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares.
