About me: This page is dedicated to my obsession with SuDoku.
I am not addicted to playing the game, although I do play often. I have become obsessed with discovering all the different shapes of board in
which SuDoku can be played. I have called this family of new reshaped boards, "SuDoku Evolution."
Before we take at look at the many shapes of SuDoku Evolution, I have had a few messages asking me what SuDoku is. So for everyone who
has been living in a cave for the past few years or if you are just visiting the planet Earth for the weekend.
Here it is.
What is SuDoku?
SuDoku is the most popular puzzle game ever!
“Quote”
SuDoku puzzles are incredibly good "exercise" for your mind. Challenging your mind to "learn new tricks" and keep on its toes and can actually help
you prevent Alzheimer's disease and dementia as you age. It can also relieve stress and keep you mentally balanced and socially
connected.

Understanding the board.
The standard game is played in a square 9x9 grid of 81 cells; this grid is divided into nine 3x3 mini-grids.
The grid has 27 regions containing 9 cells per region; there are 3 types of region, containing 9 regions per region type.
The 3 types of regions are called Rows, Columns and mini-grids.
How to play the came.
At the start of the puzzle some cells have already been filled in with some numbers (these are the “given” numbers). To complete the puzzle you
have to fill in all of the remaining blank cells with the numbers 1 to 9 so that every region contains each number only once. Each puzzle has only
one solution that can be found using only logic, there is no need to use any maths and there is never a need to guess, every number can be
worked as to where it should go.

For advanced solving techniques Click Here!
All of the above information can be summed up very simply into two pieces of information.
First, the one rule, “fill in the grid so that every region contains all of the number 1 to 9 only once.”
Second, understanding the board is much easier to explain by using animated pictures that highlight all of the regions, one picture per region type. These pictures show you very easily how the cells are connected into their regions.
There are many variants of SuDoku but nearly all of these have extra rules, require maths or complicate the game in some other way. As this has little to do with what SuDoku Evolution is all about, here are some links that you might find interesting. If you are only interested in the normal game then skip this section.

Most of the puzzles that are found above have very little in common with SuDoku Evolution as they make things more complicated and SuDoku Evolution is all about keeping things simple. So now lets see what SuDoku Evoolution is all about.
What Is SuDoku Evolution
SuDoku Evolution may look really complicated but its just plain old regular SuDoku in a new shape of board.
There is still only the one rule from the normal SuDoku game. It is all about understanding the new shapes of board and this is made easy by looking for a few seconds at a few animated pictures, you will quickly understand how the cells are connected into regions that make the new shape of board into a SuDoku puzzle.
So for example: here is a pretty scary looking board.
To play this game we use the one and only rule.
Fill in the grid so that every region contains all of the numbers 1 to 8 only once.
Now take a look at a few animated pictures to see how the cells are connected into regions, one picture for each region type. This board has 5 region types so that makes 5 pictures.
I hope that this is all clear, by using animated pictures it makes the SuDoku Evolution puzzle boards easy to understand, if you already know how to play normal SuDoku.
When discovering new styles of SuDoku board I have used these basic self-imposed guidelines
The minimum board size is 1 to 6 as anything lower than this does not really pose a challenge as a SuDoku puzzle.
The maximum board size is 1 to 16. There is really no limit to the size you can make a SuDoku board but I think
Anything bigger than 1 to 16 really is too big to be used as a SuDoku puzzle. I have seen some absolutely massive puzzle boards online but I don’t see the point.
Note: when a board is a size is 1 to 10, you have to use the numbers 0 to 9 instead
All of the cells must fall into at least 3 different region types.
If a board contains split regions these regions are split in a logical fashion (see advanced boards below).
Advanced boards.
Some of the board shapes fall into the advanced board category, they all have one thing in common; they have one or more split region type, a split region is a region that contains cells that are not all connected, they may be found in 2 or more areas of the grid. Split regions are usually numbered with an arrow, just match up the arrows with the same numbers to find all of the cells for that region. Again lots of text for something that really is very simple.
Take a look at this puzzle board; you have to fill in the numbers 1 to 8.
It has 4 pairs of rows.
Row 1 = 1cell + 7cells = 8cells that make up a full region.
Row 2 = 3cells + 5cells = 8cells that make up a full region.
With rows 3 and 4 being the same as rows 1 and 2.
And that’s all there is to the advanced family of SuDoku Evolution puzzle boards, not that advanced really.
It is just as easy to understand an advanced board as it is for a normal board by looking at a few animated pictures. Note: when 2 areas of the board are highlighted at the same time, the cells that are highlighted count as one region.
Split cells.
A useful feature when designing new board shapes is the split cell. Take a look at this puzzle board; each region contains 10 cells you have to fill in the numbers 0 to 9. It has 8 rows, 8 columns and 8 mini-grids, but because the mini-grids are right-angled triangles some of the small square cells have been split into 2 smaller cells that are right-angled triangles and a number must be placed into each cell of these smaller cells.
And if you didn’t understand that then take a look at the usual animated pictures and I am sure all will become clear.
The SuDoku Evolution Puzzles.
All of the puzzles that I create in the SuDoku Evolution boards have only one solution.
I try to make the given numbers as symmetrical as possible.
Every puzzle will have a link near by to take you to page containing the animated pictures for that board.
I am sure that anyone who plays SuDoku will have no problems playing in the SuDoku Evolution boards as it is basically the same game but in
new shapes of board.
For an in depth look at the different shapes I have discovered so far, look on the left of this page.
Thanks for joining my cause!!! Scott G. LaLonde Part Two Disabled Civil Rights Life Liberty could you put in your top friends list I am extremely in need of this at this time. Join my new group link located below http://groups. myspace. com/pt2disabledcivilrightslifeliberty
My group originally had 17,000 friends and had a government and politics group on page 8 it is still located there but when you click on it and says deleted or invalid account.
To be Moses to all Disabled people and remove the yoke the burden on our disabled backs! And set Disabled people free!
First, thanks for the add Maff! I want to say hi to all your friends. I'd like to share with everyone a Sudoku that I created in honor of my four Godchildren. I will list the numbers here and then I will try to explain why it is special.
All the rows, columns and 3x3 regions have the digits 1-9, the diagonals also have the digits 1-9. (I know, that's not all that special, yet.)
If you take the squares that form the corners and the middle squares of the sides and include the center square, you get a magic square. (672 159 834)
If you take the second numbers from the diagonals as you move in and the second numbers on the center row and column, again you have the numbers 1-9. (724 258 693)
Next we take the third numbers as we took the second numbers on the center row and column and the diagonals and again have 1-9. (241 357 968)
That adds up to 32 times that the digits 1-9 appear once and only once. That is something that is special. Yes, I did intend for all of those instances to occur in this sudoku. However, there is one thing that does happen that I never even thought about.
If you take the puzzle, rotate it 180 degrees, add this new puzzle to the old puzzle, ALL the boxes will add up to 10! Gives new meaning to "wordless crossword". I have given this puzzle two nicknames.
The first is the "Godfather" puzzle, for obvious reasons. The other nickname is the "Yin-Yang" puzzle.
I hope you and your friends find this interesting.
It has been so nice this summer and I have been playing Sudoku in the camp ground watching the fire.My kids still do not get sudoku but I am not going to push it.I find it to be very fun though.:)
