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 or , 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 ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES * Games::Sudoku::CLI - play Sudoku on the command line Author: SZABGAB * Games::Sudoku::Component::TkPlayer - Let's play Sudoku Author: ISHIGAKI * Spreadsheet::HTML::Presets::Sudoku - Generates 9x9 sudoku boards via HTML tables.

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? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % 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 or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::Sudoku -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::Sudoku::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

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.
