The Stable King
(Published on 6. June 2024, 10:05 by NurglesGift)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Any digit inside a cage can not be separaded by a king's or knight's move (in chess) from the same digit.
Any digit outside a cage must be separaded by a king's and/or knight's move (in chess) from same digit.
Digits within a cage must sum to the total in the cage corner.
Digits can not repeat within a cage.
Cells connected by a white dot must be consecutive.
Clarifying:
Inside a cage, "ANTI-" rules MUST apply.
Outside a cage, "ANTI-" rules must NOT apply.

Example
The 7 is within a cage and therefore none of the blue cells in box 2,4 and 5 can contain a 7 i.e. can not be a king's or knight's move away from the 7
The 6 is not within a cage and therefore at least one of the yellow cells needs to contain a 6 i.e must be a king's and/or knight's move away from one or more 6's
Solution code: give the digits of column 4 and 5 (top to bottom)

this is very fun and clever! when you understand the rules it is brilliant. the only reason this has a bad rating is because people dont understand the rules.
