: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!
Love Sudoku? Then get ready for , a multiplayer version where you compete against other players or teams! The goal remains the classic Sudoku challenge: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.
Before you begin, choose your difficulty level (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest). This sets the initial numbers, providing a shared starting point for all players. Everyone gets the same puzzle to solve simultaneously.
Game Modes:
- Show Opponent's Correct Numbers: 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!
- Hidden Correct Numbers: Players can't see each other's correct numbers, allowing for multiple players to earn points with the same number.
Time-Outs & Scoring:
Incorrect numbers result in a time-out (configurable, default 30 seconds). Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct digit. Incorrect placements cost you half the points you would have gained.
Winning the Game:
The game ends when the puzzle is solved. In the "Show Opponent's Correct Numbers" mode, the player with the most points wins. If this option is disabled, the game ends when one player solves the puzzle, though this doesn't grant extra points; others can still win by having fewer incorrect entries.
Team Play:
Team up! Choose your team (1 or 2) when joining a game. With at least two players per team, points are pooled, and notes/colors are shared, enabling collaborative strategies.
Solving Tools:
A handy toolbar offers:
- Pen Tool: Add mini-numbers as notes to squares. Clicking a number already present removes it.
- Fill Mode: Change the background color of any square (including solved ones).
