Krop Cycles
(Published on 23. November 2023, 01:35 by Beefy)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The pink lines are Cycle Lines. On a Cycle Line, each digit indexes the position of the next, thus joining all digits in one single cycle. For example, 312 is a valid cycle because the 1st digit (3), leads to the 3rd digit (2), which in turns leads to the 2nd digit (1), which comes back to the start of the chain. Conversely 213 is not a valid cycle because 3 is left out in this process.
The 1st digit of a Cycle Line is located at its thicker base.
Cells separated by a white dot have consecutive digits.
Cells separated by a black dot are in a ratio 2:1.
Solution code: 8th Row from left to right

This was an amazing puzzle! I have made a lot of puzzles with cyclical constraints like this and I really enjoy this sort of ruleset. Would love to see more puzzles with this type of constraint and may try out making one with this variation on my own given how fun this was. There was some really cool logic all the way through the solve
