Battle Of Sudoku

Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!

Love Sudoku and crave competition? Battle of Sudoku lets you play against other players or teams in a thrilling multiplayer experience. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each row, column, and 3x3 subgrid contains all numbers 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, configurable in the options:

• "Show correct numbers of your opponent": Each correctly placed number is visible to all players, earning points for the first player to correctly input it. Duplicate numbers are disallowed.
• "Hide correct numbers of your opponent": Players only see their own grid. This allows for multiple players to earn points for the same correct number.

Time-Outs:

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

Scoring:

Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct entry. Incorrect entries deduct half the points earned for a correct entry.

Winning:

The game ends when the puzzle is solved. The player with the most points wins. If the "Show correct numbers" option is disabled, 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 vs. Individual Play:

Team mode allows two teams to compete. Players choose a 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/filled 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 squares.
