NAME
    Acme::CPANModules::Sudoku - List of Sudoku-related modules on CPAN

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.007 of Acme::CPANModules::Sudoku (from
    Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-Sudoku), released on 2022-03-18.

DESCRIPTION
    Recently (Dec 2020) I picked up more interest in Sudoku, as I was
    spending more time at home with the kids, and there was a book of Sudoku
    puzzles lying around in the room.

    Playing

    There are certainly more modules on CPAN for solving Sudoku puzzles
    compared to for playing. And between the two available modules for
    playing, I find that there's currently no good playable Sudoku game on
    CPAN. Sad but true. You'd be better off opening your browser and
    visiting <https://websudoku.com> or <https://sudoku.com>, or installing
    *ksudoku* or *gnome-sudoku* if you're using KDE/GNOME, or *sudoku* (by
    Michael Kennett) or *nudoku* if you like playing on the terminal.

    (CPAN does still contain some playable games though. I did enjoy
    *Games::FrozenBubble* and still play *Games::2048* from time to time.)

    These modules are available for playing Sudoku:

    Games::Sudoku::CLI. Since it's CLI (prompt-based) instead of TUI, it's
    not really convenient to play unless you're a CLI freak.

    Games::Sudoku::Component::TkPlayer. It's GUI, but clunky and not pretty.
    There's no visual indicator for separating the larger 3x3 boxes.

    Generating

    These modules can generate Sudoku puzzles for you, though not let you
    interactively play/solve them:

    Spreadsheet::HTML::Presets::Sudoku

    Solving

    There is no shortage of modules written to solve Sudoku puzzles. I plan
    to benchmark these but for now here's the list:

    Games::Sudoku::Lite

    Games::Sudoku::Solver

    Games::Sudoku::General

    Games::Sudoku::CPSearch

    Games::Sudoku::Kubedoku

    Games::Sudoku::SudokuTk

    Games::Sudoku::OO::Board

    Games::YASudoku
