Masyudoku - Sudoku / Masyu Hybrid
(Published on 2. November 2022, 21:14 by Mr.Menace)
- Masyu rules apply. Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.
- Cells with a number clue act like masyu clues. If the cell contains an odd digit in the sudoku solution, the clue is a white circle, if the cell contains an even digit in the sudoku solution, the clue is a black circle.
- The number in a masyu clue indicates the sum of all digits on the masyu line (including the digit in the clue cell) up to (and including) the cells on both sides of the clue where the line bends. Digits may not repeat in such a sum.
An example puzzle (6x6) is also available: link

I suggest using the pen-tool available in the Sudokupad software to draw the Masyu lines.
Good luck solving!
Solution code: 5th row and 5th column

Very nice ! I've just been inspired with something similar on my side and I'll pick some ideas from this one I think :D Rather approachable, more of a 3/5 for me

Excellent ! I love Masyu puzzles, and yours is a brilliant hybridation with a really enjoyable loop construction and solve. I was so impatient to try it that I did not take the time to read the rules until the last sentence, which obviously lead me to troubles...
By the way, if you haven't tried Jesper's Masyu Loop Sudoku, I suggest you do it because it is another brilliant Masyu hybrid.
Thanks ++

Very satisfied! The masyu loop will be launched soon, the difficulty lies in the killer Sudoku part in the back.
