Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!

Love Sudoku? Then get ready for Battle of Sudoku, 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. Every player receives the identical puzzle.

Game Modes:

The game offers two modes, selectable in the options:

• Show Opponent's Correct Numbers: Each correct number placed is visible to all players. Only the first player to correctly place a number earns points.
• Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Correct numbers are not displayed, allowing multiple players to potentially earn points for the same correct number.

Time-Outs:

Incorrect entries result in a time-out (default 30 seconds, configurable). During this time, the player is unable to make 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 you would have gained for a correct answer.

Winning:

The game ends when the puzzle is solved. The player with the most points wins. If "Show Opponent's Correct Numbers" is disabled, the game ends when one player solves it, although this doesn't grant extra points; others can still win based on fewer mistakes.

Team vs. Individual Play:

Team mode allows two teams to compete. Join a team (1 or 2), and once a team has at least two players, the team score accumulates points from all its members. Notes and filled colors are shared within teams, enabling collaborative strategies.

Solving Tools:

A toolbar provides tools to aid your solving:

• Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to squares. Clicking a number already present removes it.
• Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares.
