Kropki Indicator Sudoku
(Published on 4. December 2020, 14:02 by udukos)
White dots between two cells indicate consecutive digits and black dots between two cells indicate a ratio of 1:2. A pair of orthogonally adjacent cells in the grid with a 1 and a 2 can have either a black or a white dot between them.
A value of N in a cell with an arrow indicates the number of kropki dots in the direction of the arrow.
Black arrow - indicates total number of black dots
White arrow - indicates total number of white dots
Grey arrow - indicates total number of dots (either black or white or both)
All the possible arrows have not been given.
Here is an example on a 6*6 grid:
Good Luck. Have fun.

Solution code: Row 1 Column 9

"Dots generated by the arrows do not support a negative constraint." What does it mean?
--Sorry for the late reply. It means that the grid may have kropki dots other than those generated by the given arrows. On a second thought I think I didn't require to write that. I will remove the sentence as it just complicates the rules.
