Hi urhegyi
Your 2 grids can be solved independently.
The real goal for a gattai (overlapping sudoku's) puzzle is that each suduko needs information from another sudoku within a puzzle to be solved.

The puzzle below each sudoku cannot be solved on its own.
Each sudoku has multiple solutions, but in relation to the other sudoku only one unique solution for the whole puzzle is possible.
Like your puzzle this one is solvable with basic methods (some generalized intersections included).
It has the same layout and same jigsaws. Even same solution.

I appreciate that you are creating a twodoku jigsaw with a specific pattern of clues.
But generating these from randomly generated solution grids with just symmetry of clues is rather hard because the overlapping nonet is not the standard 3x3 block.
Here's two:

2 necessary conditions the two jigsaw will overlap so that rectangular box 9 of grid 1 and rectangular box 1 of grid 2 contain 1 to 9 are that R56C9 and R78C7 of grid 1 contain the same pair. The same is true for R23C3 and R45C1 of grid 2.
Have you found a way to generate the solution grids? At random is not possible I think. I generate them based on existing solution grids I manipulate to create new ones. I looked at your first example. I solved first grid 2 based on conditions of grid 1 with easy methods max pointing and claiming and naked/hidden subsets. For the first grid to solve I need generalized intersections.

I generate solution grids, and filter on the two pairs.

My new objective for tomorrow.

Nice, and a challenge for the Jigsaw layout per grid.

[1to9only]

For generating solution grids for g1 and g2, I'd close off one end of the H (to make 9x9 jigsaw grid).
Then select 2 grids for g1 and g2 where: g1r79c8 = g2r13c2 = g1r6c9,g2r4c1.

Edit: Corrected a mistook!

A hard one to solve:
grid1:

Code: Select all

3...1.....9.8...........489.7.5.....1...2............5..7........3........8..2... 444442221455542221455532221455533111666333111666338888677738999677788999677788999

grid2:

Code: Select all

...6..2........7........8..7............4...2.....4.8.943...........7.6.....2...3 999887776999887776999837776888833666111333666111335554122235554122245554122244444

The very minimum I have to add from grid2 to make grid 1 valid and solvable with rating 7.2:
grid1:

Code: Select all

3...1.....9.8...3.......489.7.5.....1...2...3........5..7........3....9...8..2.7. 444442221455542221455532221455533111666333111666338888677738999677788999677788999

grid2:

Code: Select all

...6..2........7........8..7............4...2.....4.8.943...........7.6.....2...3 999887776999887776999837776888833666111333666111335554122235554122245554122244444

Could you rate it with your program to confirm?

The 1st twodoku fails to solve/rate - prob needs more solving techniques, trying nested chains, not finished yet, but i think this will fail as well, last status before chains:

Code: Select all

The 2nd twodoku rating:

It's the puzzle I posted as titled new challenge for tomorrow.
When I copy the 5 from grid 1 R6C9 to the overlapping area g1-R7C8 and the 7 from grid 2 R4C1 to g1-R9C8 the general twodoku solves.
grid1:

Code: Select all

I've corrected the jigsaw definition, it now solves:

For generating solution grids for g1 and g2, I'd close off one end of the H (to make 9x9 jigsaw grid).
Then select 2 grids for g1 and g2 where: g1r79c8 = g2r12c2 = g1r6c9,g2r4c1.

you mean g1r79c8 = g2r13c2 = g1r6c9,g2r4c1
