DownloadBattle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!
Love Sudoku and crave some friendly competition? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version where you face off against other players or teams. The goal remains the classic Sudoku challenge: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each row, column, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.
Before diving in, you can set the difficulty (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest) in the game options. This determines the number of pre-filled digits, providing a shared starting point for all players. Everyone receives the identical puzzle.
Game Modes:
The game offers two modes, selectable 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 for that specific digit.
- Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Correct numbers are only visible to the player who placed them. Multiple players can earn points for the same digit.
Time-Outs: Incorrect placements result in a time-out, preventing that player from making further moves while others continue. The time-out duration is customizable (default: 30 seconds).
Scoring: Correct 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:
The game concludes when the puzzle is solved. In the "Show Opponent's Correct Numbers" mode, the player with the highest score wins. If this 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 play allows two teams to compete. Upon joining, select your team (1 or 2). A minimum of two players per team is required. Points are added to the team's total score, and notes/colors are shared within the team, facilitating collaborative strategies.
Solving Tools:
A toolbar beneath the puzzle offers helpful tools:
- Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to empty squares. Selecting a number already present in a square removes it.
- Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares (including solved ones).
