NAME

Acme::CPANModules::Sudoku - Sudoku-related modules on CPAN

VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of Acme::CPANModules::Sudoku (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-Sudoku), released on 2021-01-13.

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, I find that there's no good playable Sudoku game on CPAN. You'd be better off opening your browser and visit https://websudoku.com or https://sudoku.com. Sad but true. Not the case for all games though. I did enjoy Games::FrozenBubble and still play Games::2048 from time to time.

These modules are 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 and barely playable, 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
