Computer-Generated* Sudoku
(Published on 8. May 2024, 23:26 by vitaminz)
Help! My computer built me a variant sudoku but it seems to be broken. There are renban and nabner lines on the same cells! A thermo with 11 digits! I think it might be drawing clues over cells that the clues shouldn't be touching (naughty computer).
RULES:
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Line Clues:
Thermometer - Digits on a thermometer increase from the bulb toward the tip.
Arrows - Digits in a circle are the sum of the digits on the circle's attached arrow. (Arrow circles may cover thermometer bulbs).
Renban - Digits on a magenta line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
Nabner - Digits on a gold line contain no consecutive digits and no repeated digits.
Modifiers:
Computer-Generated - For all clues, the endpoints of the clue and any point in which the clue changes direction MUST be part of the clue. If the clue line passes straight through a cell, that cell MAY OR MAY NOT be a part of the clue. However, the computer has assured me that for these cells, the cells that a clue actually uses can be uniquely determined from the solved grid. As an example, a straight vertical arrow could not be 91236 because it is not certain whether 9 is the sum 1+2+6 or 3+6. A straight vertical arrow could be 9346 or 9436 but not 9634, since the end of the arrow must be in the clue.

Seems like SudokuGPT still needs some work, but this puzzle turned out well anyway! The "uniquely determined" rule has all sorts of interesting implications.
