Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown
Love Sudoku? Want to challenge friends or compete as a team? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version of the classic puzzle game. 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.
Game Setup:
Before starting, choose a difficulty level (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest). This determines the number of pre-filled digits, affecting the challenge for all players simultaneously. All players begin with the identical puzzle.
Game Modes:
Two modes are available, selectable in the game 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 not visible to other players, allowing multiple players to earn points for the same number.
Time-Outs:
Incorrect number placements result in a time-out, preventing the player from making further moves for a configurable duration (default 30 seconds).
Scoring:
Correctly placed numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct number. Incorrect placements deduct half the points earned for a correct placement.
Winning the Game:
The game ends when the puzzle is solved. In the mode where correct numbers are visible, the player with the most points wins. If opponent's correct numbers are hidden, the game ends when one player solves the puzzle, though this doesn't grant extra points; other players can still win based on fewer mistakes.
Team Play:
A team play option allows two teams to compete. Players select their team (1 or 2) upon joining. 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 to aid in solving:
- Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to empty squares. Selecting a number already present removes it.
- Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares (including solved ones).
