Rules:

  1. Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  2. Fire Mechanics (Green Squares):

    Cells marked with a green square are shooters. A shooter always fires at a target — a cell marked with a circle.

  3. Direction & Power:

    The direction and distance of the shot are determined by the four orthogonally adjacent cells to the shooter (up, down, left, right):

    • The horizontal shift (X-axis) is the difference between the right and left digits.
    • The vertical shift (Y-axis) is the difference between the bottom and top digits.

    The direction is defined by the digits — the bigger digit in each pair (top/bottom or left/right) determines the direction.

  4. Result of the Shot:

    The shooter places its digit in the target cell — that is, the target receives the value from the shooter.

  5. Target Matching:

    Each shooter always hits its unique target based on the calculated offset. 

Example:

Let’s say the shooter is at R2C2 and the target is at R6C3.

Digits around the shooter are:

  • Top (R1C2) = 4

  • Left (R2C1) = 6

  • Shooter (R2C2) = 2

  • Right (R2C3) = 7

  • Bottom (R3C2) = 8

Then:

  • Horizontal shift = 7 – 6 = 1 (right)

  • Vertical shift = 8 – 4 = 4 (down)

    So, the shot lands at R6C3, and that cell is filled with the shooter’s value: 2.
