What's happening?

  • allow words to turn (share endings with other words)

    Allow words to turn. A word running horizontally may turn down and continue vertically where it runs into an empty square (or the right border). A word running vertically may turn right and continue horizontally where it runs into an empty square (or the bottom border). See the attached file for an example. I realize that this may be incredibly complex to implement, because several words...

  • place empty squares (#) automatically

    Make the algorithm place empty squares (#) just like it places letters. A square is allowed to be empty if a word begins vertically just below or horizontally to the right of it. (It might be a good idea to start filling the grid from the bottom-right corner. But I am definitely no expert on these kinds of algorithms. Otherwise I would just have implemented it myself.)

  • Comment: Can't build

    You may try to change that line to something like "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(arccc, 0.1)".

  • please support UK grids too

    In the US, there's a long standing convention that all squares in a crosword grid are either black or form part of two different words (across and down). In the UK this is not the case, it's common to have grids similar to the one below: ##..........# .#.#.#.#.#.## .......#..... .#.#.#.#.#.#. ....#........ .###.#.#.#.#. ......#...... .#.#.#.#.###. ........#.... .#.#.#.#.#.#...

  • Words already in grid shouldn't have to match word list

    Let's say I start with a grid like this: ...#... hithere ...#... ...but the phrase "hithere" isn't in the word list. "arccc" will die immediately with an error like: Die: No words for 3 across. Instead, it should either ignore complete words already on the grid or silently add them to the wordlist. (Submitted by crossword enthusiast steven@foo.net)
