Polymorphic Rooms (collab with yttrio)
(Published on 6. August 2023, 02:40 by Bellsita)
This is a collaborative puzzle between I and yttrio made especially for damasosos92 Sudoku-a-thons on Twitch. Any comment and feedback are really appreciated! Hope you'll enjoy it!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Region sum lines: Digits along a blue line sum to the same value in each region it passes through (each box and the outside of the grid are considered regions for the region sum lines). If a line passes through a region more than once, each time it passes through counts separately. Different lines may have different sums.
- Numbers placed on lines outside the grid are numbered rooms clues. Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit which has to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction.
Note: In order for the solution check to work properly, all numbered room clues on lines must be filled in.
EXAMPLE PUZZLE (6x6):
Solution code: All the digits in Row 4 (including outside digits), from left to right, and Column 7, from top to bottom (20 digits in total).

Yes, as far as I can see there is two possible situations/solutions to that sumline, it can refer to 2 numbers in the row in my sudoku (and assuming others since I did get the correct solution from it). I don't want to write it out as to not spoil it.
I wrote a hidden comment to Bellsita, so hopefully they can clarify if I missed something or not.

I know, the situation I describe works with the region sum line as far as I can see
