UAP Comms Perhaps... (Sudoku)
(Published on 1. July 2021, 15:51 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase as they move away from the bulb. Cells with arrows pointing outward must contain digits greater than all orthogonal cells that don't also contain maximum constraints. Cells with arrows pointing inward must contain digits less than all orthogonal cells that don't also contain minimum constraints. Digits must not repeat on the main diagonals. Comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle

This was my first time doing a sudoku with the orthogonal inward/outward constraint. It works in a really pretty matter with the other clues! Quite approachable and very enjoyable!

When the rules talk about the cells with arrows limiting orthogonal cells "that don't also contain maximum/minimum restraints," that doesn't seem to have any bearing in this puzzle, correct? That part confused me for a moment, but i just ignored it and solved the puzzle just fine.
** Ah that’s a good point. I grabbed those rules from the generic definition and didn’t realize I needed to modify them.

Zu meiner Freude ist sich zwischen den ganzen Besuchen und Aktivitäten noch ein weiteres Puzzle ausgegangen. :D
Besten Dank an PDN
** Fabelhaft. Besten Dank an Moses.

This was great! I really enjoyed the break-in. I found it difficult but very manageable. Unfortunately some simple mistakes on my part bogged me down after the break-in but this was still a lot of fun. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks for giving it a go. Yes, this is one of my favorite creations. :-)

Die Zahlen in den Feldern mit Pfeilen, müssen die größer bzw. kleiner sein als die 4 angrenzenden Zellen oder als alle waagrecht /senkrecht folgenden Zahlen?
Edit: Hallo! Die Maximum-/Minimum-Zellen gelten nur für die vier direkt angrenzenden Zellen. (Die vier Zellen, die mit ihnen eine Kante teilen.) Viel Spaß!
