LiveCode Forums.

Does anyone know of a crossword puzzle done in LiveCode. We have to do one, but if I could save time that would be helpful!

Thanks,

Todd

I'm not sure if this has been done before but there is a really good description of what's required to design a crossword here http://www.crossdown.com/howtomake.htm

Thanks Andy,

I think I am going to use XML to hold the crossword Questions, Answers and Layout. I think maybe an easy function using grouped controls would do the trick for the UI. We should have it within 10 days or so, I will post the stack here for future reference.

I think Mark Wieder had one years and years ago. You might Icheck with him.

I suggest you to use the embedded Sqlite engine. Using a XML as database is crazy.
