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 remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.

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 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. You can't use a number already placed by another player.
• Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Correct numbers are only visible to the player who placed them. This allows multiple players to earn points for the same number.

Time-Outs:

Incorrect placements result in a time-out (default 30 seconds, configurable). You can't make moves while timed out, but other players can continue.

Points:

Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct placement. Incorrect numbers deduct half the points you would have earned for 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 it, though this doesn't grant extra points; other players can still win by having fewer mistakes.

Team vs. Individual Play:

Team play allows two teams to compete. Join a team (1 or 2), and once at least two players join a team, the team is formed. Points are added to the team's total score, and notes/filled colors are shared amongst team members.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar under the puzzle provides tools:

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