Sum Pointers
(Published on 19. October 2021, 23:23 by zegres)
In addition to normal arrow rules, arrows also point to their sums!
Any feedback is highly appreciated!
Rules
- Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the value in that arrow's circle.
Digits may repeat along an arrow. - Arrow heads point to a digit that equals the arrow sum (circled digit).
The digit can be one or more cells out in the direction of the arrow head.
For example: the digit in R5C7 must appear in R3C5 or R2C4 or R1C3.

Reply: so funny it’s maybe the 3rd time I invent a constraint, then find out it’s already been invented. I’m gonna try that one looks very cool! Also Mr. Menace made an awesome Sum Pointers puzzle inspired by mine. His was featured on CTC.

That's some crazy good break-in logic! It took me a while realize the "something" and then it mostly flowed from there

Loved this constraint and how it made you think about the shape of things.

Love the pointing arrow constraint! I would suggest a slight change of the wording to say the following: "The digit can be any distance away in the direction of the arrow head but may not include the arrow head itself"
Reply: Clarified the rules, thanks!

Great puzzle! Really enjoyable constraint, even though I forgot to use it way too often. :)
