Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!
Love Sudoku and crave some friendly competition? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version where you compete against other players or teams. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each row, column, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.
Before you begin, choose a difficulty level (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest) in the game options. 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, selectable in the options:
- "Show correct numbers of your opponent": Each correctly placed number is visible to all players, earning you points. You can't place a number already used by another player. Speed and accuracy are key!
- "Hide correct numbers of your opponent": Players can't see each other's correct numbers, allowing multiple players to potentially earn points for the same number.
Time-Outs:
Incorrect numbers result in a time-out, preventing you from making moves while others continue. The time-out duration is customizable (default 30 seconds).
Points:
Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct placement. Incorrect numbers cost you 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 you've disabled the "show correct numbers" option, the game ends when one player solves it, 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. Choose your team (1 or 2) upon joining. At least two players per team are required. Points are added to the team's total score, and notes/colors are shared among teammates, facilitating collaborative strategies.
Solving Tools:
A toolbar under the puzzle 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 any square.
