Battle Of Sudoku

Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!

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

Before you begin, choose a difficulty level (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 being hardest). This sets the initial numbers on the grid, which all players must solve simultaneously. Everyone starts 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: Correct numbers are only visible to the player who placed them. Multiple players can 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 cost points (half the value of a correct placement).

Winning:

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; others can still win by making fewer mistakes.

Team vs. Individual Play:

Team play allows two teams to compete. Players choose their team (1 or 2) upon joining. A minimum of two players per team is required. Team points are cumulative, and notes/filled colors are shared within the team, facilitating collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar under the puzzle provides tools to aid in solving:

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