Abstract:

The player attempts to solve the puzzle by filling in the empty spaces with numbers completing the sequence of numbers of the predetermined grid. The player can advance the sequence of numbers horizontally across the squares on the playing board to an adjacent unblocked square, or skip one or more square in the same row. The player can also advance the sequence of numbers diagonally up or down, or skip one or more squares on the diagonal. The puzzle is completed by filling all empty squares sequentially (in ascending order) while adhering to predefined limitations on number placement. Prefilled squares, previously empty but subsequently filled squares, and blocked squares on the board cannot be skipped over to advance the sequence of numbers either horizontally or diagonally. The game ends when all the empty squares on the puzzle have been filled.
