Shifter Stars
(Published on 6. June 2025, 23:17 by NotSoMagnifique)
I had the chance to solve one of gUBBLOR's Shifter Line puzzles, and after I got the hang of it, I decided to make one of my own!
--
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku Rules apply.
- Shifters - Adjacent digits within the same box on a yellow shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines if allowed by other rules.
- Ratio Kropki dots - digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a ratio of 1:2. No negative constraint.
- X pairs - digits separated by a X sum to 10. No negative constraint.
Solution code: Row 3 digits, left to right

this was fun! Never played with shifter lines before. Neat concept. I'll have to try the other puzzles you mentioned.
