Clover's Birthday Sudoku
(Published on 4. October 2020, 17:55 by clover)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. So do a lot of other rules:
STAR BATTLE: 3s and 2s cannot touch anywhere in the grid, even diagonally. (For instance, two 2s or two 3s can't touch diagonally, and a 2 and a 3 can't be adjacent or diagonally adjacent.)
SANDWICH: The sandwich clue (in column 8) gives the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in that column.
KILLER CAGE: The number in the top left corner of a cage gives the sum of the digits in that cage. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
LITTLE KILLER: The clues pointing to a diagonal indicate the sum of digits along that diagonal. Digits along a diagonal may repeat, as long as they follow normal sudoku rules.

Excellent excellent excellent! Happy Birthday! I love star battle and I love the way you incorporated it with sudoku. A while ago I played a puzzle where star battle was incorporated in a different way and I wasn't a fan, so I have been avoiding yours :/ Now I need to play your others!

It is very coincidental: My friend 红葉 is also today's birthday! I have not yet begun to solve this seemingly troublesome big problem. But I think I wish you a happy birthday :)
