Lockout Flower
(Published on 27. September 2021, 19:04 by FryTheGuy)
I created this puzzle after Piatato challenged me to make a lockout line puzzle.
Special thanks to Riffclown, Twototenth, and the rest of the lockout line discord group for testing it.
Have fun!
RulesNormal Sudoku rules apply.
Lockout Lines: Digits on a line must fall 'outside' the range of their diamond shaped endpoint (eg. endpoints 1 and 8 only allow 9 on the line connecting them). Each endpoint value must differ by at least 4 from other directly connected endpoints. There are no floating diamonds.
An inequality sign between two cells determines which one is larger.

Solution code: Row 1 and Row 2

Sublime! Very hard work to discover how it all worked, but very satisfying. Great puzzles are like great movies; they leave you with something :-)

Fab puzzle - loved the way the logic worked. Very much central to the lockout lines constraint :)
