If you haven't seen this rule before you might like to try this one first:
Shifted X-sums 2
If you like these puzzles and you'd like to try a fully encrypted version, check out this one:
Happy Halloween
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits from the Nth cell from that side, where X is the digit in the Nth cell and N is the digit in the first cell from that side.
Example: in a row with 514839762 the clue from the left would be 19 (3+9+7) and from the right would be 37 (6+7+9+3+8+4).
One of these clues has been partially encrypted. The 3X clue means that that clue is thirty + the digit in r7c1.
Purple renban lines contain a set of consecutive digits in any order.
Have fun!
Solution code: row 4, column 4

Fascinating puzzle. Brilliantly designed. You nearly had my favorite ever solution code. I thought it was just the 1 cell in row 4 col 4 :)
--Thanks! Haha no, it's the full rows as usual ;)
