Learn how I architected a modular, scalable Sudoku game using Blazor and classic software design patterns like Strategy, State, and Memento. From cloud-based game state in Azure Blob Storage to mobile-first design and undo/redo mechanics, this post explores why thoughtful architecture matters—even in the simplest of games.
