XV*Roundabout
(Published on 14. March 2025, 08:00 by NurglesGift)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Cells connected by an X must sum to 10.
Cells connected by an V must sum to 5.
All X's and V's are given.
Digits in a circle can not be orthogonally adjacent with a consecutive digit, none of the circles can share the same digit.
Additionally, Digits in a cricle can not be a (chess) king's or knight's move away from the same digit
I recommend turning the conflict checker off in settings.

Wonderful entry, yet again. Great fun. Thank you!

to be fair, you will need some case-testing.
the circles are all different digits and have kings/knights move constraints and then the consecutive rule all come together...

Honestly have no idea what the intended solution path is. I was able to finish with a few bifurcations. Any hints?

Fabulous logic, I had a few false starts but once I got going with it, this was an absolute belter of a puzzle. Thankyou NurglesGift yet again, you’re a legend of the XV genre and this is such a great development of it.

yes, for some reason if knight or king is mentioned in the rules sudokupad apply the rule.

oke: "I recommend turning the conflict checker off in settings."

In the sudokupad there is an error in the constraints-checker.
I think that it applies anti-king move on all cells, not just the circled ones.
