Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!

Love Sudoku? Want to challenge friends or team up for a competitive puzzle experience? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version of the classic game where you compete against other players or teams. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.

Before you begin, you can set the difficulty level (1-6, with 1 being easiest and 6 hardest) in the game options. This determines the number of pre-filled digits, creating a shared puzzle for all players.

Game Modes:

The game offers two modes, configurable in the options:

• Show Correct Numbers: Every correctly placed number is visible to all players. Only the first player to correctly place a number earns points for that digit.
• Hide Correct Numbers: Players cannot see each other's correct numbers. This allows for multiple players to earn points for the same correctly placed digit.

Time-Outs:

Incorrectly placed numbers result in a time-out, preventing the player from making further moves for a configurable period (default 30 seconds).

Points:

Correctly placed numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct digit. Incorrect placements deduct 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 "Show Correct Numbers" 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 Play:

Battle of Sudoku includes a team play option, allowing two teams to compete. Players select their team (1 or 2) upon joining. Points earned by team members are added to the team's total score, and notes/filled colors are shared within the team, facilitating collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar under the puzzle provides tools to aid in solving:

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