# Other Games and Tools
|
|
|
|
This guide provides information on additional community resources, tools, and games that function with Archipelago.
|
|
|
|
## Community Resources
|
|
|
|
The Archipelago community is active across several platforms where you can find support, new games, and tools.
|
|
|
|
### Discord Servers
|
|
Archipelago has two primary Discord servers for community interaction, game support, and hosting public games:
|
|
- **[Archipelago Official Discord](https://discord.gg/8Z65BR2)**: The main hub for the community, including general discussion, support, and public multiworld hosting.
|
|
- **[Archipelago After Dark Discord](https://discord.gg/fqvNCCRsu4)**: An adults-only server for 18+ and unrated content.
|
|
|
|
Both servers feature an **#apworld-index** channel. These channels are repositories for "APWorlds" — additional game implementations that can be easily added to your Archipelago installation to support more games.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
- **[Archipelago Wiki](https://archipelago.miraheze.org/)**: A community-maintained wiki.
|
|
|
|
## Community Tools
|
|
|
|
These community-developed tools are frequently used alongside Archipelago to improve the player experience.
|
|
|
|
### PopTracker
|
|
**[PopTracker](https://github.com/black-sliver/PopTracker)** is a universal multi-platform tracking application designed for randomizers. It supports many Archipelago games through tracker packs, providing both manual and automatic autotracking capabilities by connecting directly to an Archipelago server.
|
|
|
|
## APSudoku
|
|
|
|
### What is this game?
|
|
APSudoku is a HintGame client which can connect to any multiworld slot, allowing you to play Sudoku to unlock random hints for that slot's locations.
|
|
It does not need to be added at the start of a seed, as it does not create any slots of its own, nor does it have any YAML files.
|
|
|
|
### Required Software
|
|
- [APSudoku](https://github.com/APSudoku/APSudoku)
|
|
|
|
### Installation Procedures
|
|
#### Windows / Linux
|
|
Go to the latest release from the [GitHub APSudoku Releases page](https://github.com/APSudoku/APSudoku/releases/latest). Download and extract the appropriate file for your platform.
|
|
#### Web
|
|
Go to the [GitHub pages](https://apsudoku.github.io) or [itch.io](https://emilyv99.itch.io/apsudoku) site, and play in the browser.
|
|
|
|
### Joining a MultiWorld Game
|
|
1. Run the APSudoku executable.
|
|
2. Under `Settings` → `Connection` at the top-right:
|
|
- Enter the server address and port number
|
|
- Enter the name of the slot you wish to connect to
|
|
- Enter the room password (optional)
|
|
- Select DeathLink related settings (optional)
|
|
- Press `Connect`
|
|
3. Under the `Sudoku` tab:
|
|
- Choose puzzle difficulty
|
|
- Click `Start` to generate a puzzle
|
|
4. Try to solve the Sudoku. Click `Check` when done.
|
|
- A correct solution rewards you with 1 hint for a location in the world you are connected to.
|
|
- An incorrect solution has no penalty, unless DeathLink is enabled (see below).
|
|
|
|
### Additional Information
|
|
- You can set various settings under `Settings` → `Sudoku`, and can change the colors used under `Settings` → `Theme`.
|
|
- While connected, you can view the `Console` and `Hints` tabs for standard TextClient-like features.
|
|
- You can also use the `Tracking` tab to view either a basic tracker or a valid [GodotAP tracker pack](https://github.com/EmilyV99/GodotAP/blob/main/tracker_packs/GET_PACKS.md).
|
|
- While connected, the number of "unhinted" locations for your slot is shown in the upper-left of the `Sudoku` tab. (If this reads 0, no further hints can be earned for this slot, as every location is already hinted.)
|
|
- Click the various `?` buttons for information on controls/how to play.
|
|
|
|
### Admin Settings
|
|
By using the connected room's Admin Password on the Admin Panel tab, you can configure some settings at any time to affect the entire room.
|
|
- You can disable APSudoku for the entire room, preventing any hints from being granted.
|
|
- You can customize the reward weights for each difficulty, making progression hints more or less likely, and/or adding a chance to get "no hint" after a solve.
|
|
|
|
### DeathLink Support
|
|
If `DeathLink` is enabled when you click `Connect`:
|
|
- Lose a life if you check an incorrect puzzle (not an _incomplete_ puzzle — if any cells are empty, you get off with a warning), or if you quit a puzzle without solving it (including disconnecting).
|
|
- Your life count is customizable (default 0). Dying with 0 lives left kills linked players AND resets your puzzle.
|
|
- On receiving a DeathLink from another player, your puzzle resets.
