X-Friends
(Published on 11. August 2022, 15:51 by Xenonetix)
This one's a "Build-Your-Own Classic" using the constraint logic in the first half of the solve - Hope you enjoy playing!
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Circled digits are Friendly digits, which match the number of their row, column, or box.
- Arrows indicate X-Friend Lines, where the first seen digit in the respective row or diagonal indicates the length of a straight line of Friendly digits (of length 1 or more) in the indicated direction. (The digit immediately after the end of a line may or may not be a Friendly digit.)
Any feedback and comments welcome!
Solution code: Row 7 (left to right) & Column 7 (top to bottom) (18 digits)

Lots of fun and satisfaction, a bit harder than 2/5 for me but I still enjoyed the solve a lot :)

Fun to solve! Been awhile since I did a friends puzzle.

Is the first digit seen by the arrow a part of the X-friend line, or does the line of friendly digits begin in the cell immediately after the first digit?
- Part of the line :) - Xenonetix

That was really fun. looked daunting at first glance but the break in was nice and the rest flowed very well.
