Hi Chris,
One of the cards in my San Diego Coloring Book is a Crossword Puzzle. I did it
pretty much by brute force. Nothing fancy but it works quite well. Would you
like to see a screen shot? I'll send it to you directly if you would like.

Has anybody ever created a crossword puzzle application in LC? I'm having to
make one, and I'm kind of at a loss. Not really sure how to proceed. If anyone
has some pointers or sample code they'd be willing to share, I'd be most
grateful.
My idea right now is to have some kind of a grid that would get created at
run-time. Not sure yet whether to use square graphics or just use actual
fields. So the application would be fed the max number of spaces across and
then the max number of spaces down. So say the longest word across has 10
letters, and the longest word down has 6 letters. So a grid that is 10 by 6
would be created. Then I would somehow determine where the letters for the
words will be placed in the grid (still kind of fuzzy on this part), and then
once that's done, I would hide the unused spaces, leaving behind a crossword
layout. Tapping/clicking in a space would then allow the user to enter a letter
for that space (or something of that nature).
Does that even sound doable? Anyone have a better suggestion?
Thanks,
Chris
