Greetings Everyone. I'm very new to making puzzles and I hope this goes well. I'm sorry that this puzzle doesn't include any solving software links, but I couldn't figure out how to include it. I would be very thankful to anyone who could put this on the CTC app. Also, I can't seem to figure out this formatting. I hope that this doesn't deter any would be solvers. I think this is a really fun puzzle. I hope you all enjoy. (yay, I figured out the formatting)
Also, I'm adding links to the other 2 puzzles in this set:
Normal sudoku rules apply; i.e. the digits 1 to 9 need to be placed, once each, in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
This grid is set on a torus, and only has 100 cells. This means that row 1 and row 11 are in fact the same row. The same is true of column 1 and column 11. Within the grid are 10- 3x3 boxes that must be found. This means that there are 10 cells in the grid that contain no digit.
Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle.
Digits in a cage must sum to the number in the top left corner of that cage.
Cells separated by an X must sum to 10, Cells separated by a V must sum to 5.
Cells separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio, Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
The grayed out cell contains no digit.
Solution code: Top row, include 0s for blank cells, the first and last number are the same. (the corners are the same cell repeated.)

Thank you so much josebastian8. I'm glad that my puzzle is enjoyable. The knight's move constraint does some interesting things on these torus grids. I'm actually building two more torus puzzles that explore it a bit. One of them should be up in a day or two. Hopefully they will be just as enjoyable.

Thank you so much for constructing this amazing puzzle. One of my absolute favourites. And thanks to @josebastian8 for putting it into the software.

What an interesting puzzle and concept! I liked it a lot, but I recommend at least 4 stars difficulty, it's not easy to navigate around a torus after all! Anyway, here's a present for the entertainment :D

(Had to add 0s to the grey cells to validate the answer)
