Dot Mirage by Derek LeClair

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Adjacent digits along a green line differ by at least 5.

A digit in a cell with arrows facing outward must be greater than all of its orthogonal neighbors.

On a black dot, one digit is double the other. On a white dot, the digits are consecutive.

ALL possible dots are given!

Interesting puzzle design. The negative constraints are really powerful in the later stages, but towards the beginning I couldn't figure out how to use them effectively. I ended up doing a lot more trial and error than I usually like to do. I'm sure there is a cleaner approach which I just couldn't find
