Starry Knight
(Published on 13. June 2023, 23:09 by Scojo)
This puzzle was originally set in June 2023 for the Cracking the Cryptic Discord's monthly prompt of "Gigi Bly's Gallery Guides."
Rules:- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Cells a chess knight's move away from each other cannot contain the same digit.
- The squares outside the grid indicate the order of runs of contiguous cells found in that row or column that must be shaded the color of the clue. The number in the clue indicates the sum of the cells in the run. There must be at least one unshaded cell between runs of the same color, though there is no need between runs of differing colors. All runs are given.
Solve in CTC
Solution code: Row 1

Im new to jsums. Great beginner puzzle. I loved how the anti knight played in. Now i can try a 2 star. Thx.

I was stuck for a while then I finally remembered the knights move constraint. That took me way too long haha

Felt like I spent more time doing the nonogram than sudoku. It solved very smoothly but was also pretty easy. Would like to see more.
This is just me, but having more than 4 clues wide makes it quite hard to see my pencilmarks on mobile

Finally all my time spent playing nonograms has paid off!

Really fun, hoping to see other puzzles with the same rules!

this was much fun. A little too easy. I'd like to see another one with 2 or 3 stars difficulty.

It's funny how Sudoku rules almost aren't needed, you can solve most of it just with math and colors. Nice one!
