Zipper Lines: Digits equidistant from the line's center must sum to the same value. If a zipper line has an odd number of cells, the central cell's digit defines this sum.
Ten Dots: A digit N in a cell with a dot sums to 10 with one or more digits in the direction of the dot, starting with the Nth digit in that direction. If a cell contains multiple dots this applies separately for each dot.
Solution code: Row 4 + Column 7 (18 digits)

I too took a while to understand the Ten Dots rule, but once I did this was a fantastic puzzle. Maybe you should include your example in the initial rule set if you do further puzzles of this type.

please clarify dot rule more in Detail, e.g. example. Currently I don#t understand how to handle R5c5

-Imagine that a cell with dots to the right and left had a two in it. That would mean that some group of cells starting two cells to the left of the 2 added to 8 and also that some group of cells starting two cells the right of the 2 added to 8. So, for instance, a row with 413627895 with left and right dots in the cell with the 2 would be valid under this rule. -SSG
