- Normal Sudoku Rules apply (digits 1 to 9 appear once each in each row, column and box)
- Green lines act as one long equal-sum line (the sums of all three green lines are the same) sum line operate where the sum of digits in each box they pass through is equal per box (i.e. r1c1+r1c2+r1c3=r2c4+r2c5+r2c6=r3c7+r3c8+r3c9)
- digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle at the base of the arrow
- digits separated by a black dot must have a ratio of 1:2
- digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive
- digits within a cage must not repeat and must sum to the total given in the upper left hand corner of the cage
- adjacent digits along a purple line must differ in value by five or more
- digits a knight's move apart (in chess) must not be the same; this wraps vertically around the frame (r2c5≠r9c6)
- digits a king's move apart (in chess) must not be the same; this wraps vertically around the frame (r1c3≠r9c2 or r9c3 or r9c4)

Lösungscode: row 7 (left to right), then column 3 (top to bottom) (18 digits, no spaces)

Puzzle solves very smoothly, but feels overconstrained. For example, the white dots on the middle green line are not necessary. Otherwise, I agree with Rollo about the tags and ParaNox about the colors, but not bad for a new setter, best of luck with any future puzzles.

@ParaNox thanks for the information! I'm still pretty new to this and haven't quite picked up what colors people usually use. I'll keep that in mind moving forward :)

Thank you for the puzzle, I really enjoyed it! Just a small thing: I always associate green lines with German whispers and purple ones with Renban. I'm not sure if that's a me thing or not but hat's how they look in many other puzzles. I think region sum lines are usually blue?
Not saying you have to change them if you like them like this, just wanted to let you know they might be confusing for some people.
