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

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.

What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

% cpanm-cpanmodules -n Sudoku

Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):

% cpanmodules ls-entries Sudoku | cpanm -n

or Acme::CM::Get:

% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Sudoku -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
