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:

<pm: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.

<pm: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:

<pm: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:

<pm:Games::Sudoku::Lite>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::Solver>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::General>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::CPSearch>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::Kubedoku>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::SudokuTk>

<pm:Games::Sudoku::OO::Board>

<pm:Games::YASudoku>
