Battle Of Sudoku

Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown

Love Sudoku and crave some friendly competition? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version of the classic puzzle game, pitting you against other players or teams. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.

Before diving in, customize the difficulty (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest) in the game options. This sets the number of pre-filled digits, providing a shared starting point for all players. Everyone receives the identical puzzle.

Game Modes:

The game offers two modes, selectable 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 digit. Duplicate entries are disallowed.
• Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Players cannot see each other's correct entries, allowing for simultaneous placement of the same numbers and earning points independently.

Time-Outs:

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

Scoring:

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

Winning the Game:

The game concludes when the puzzle is solved. The player with the highest score wins. In the "Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers" mode, the game ends when one player solves the puzzle, though this doesn't grant extra points; others can still win by having fewer incorrect entries.

Team vs. Individual Play:

A team play option allows two teams to compete. Players select their team (1 or 2) upon joining. At least two players per team are required. Team points accumulate collectively, and notes/filled colors are shared among teammates, facilitating collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar beneath the puzzle provides helpful tools:

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