Regular Expression Crossword

[Clint Checketts]

Last week I saw several links to a 'regular expression crossword'. For fun I played with implementing a simplified version using Angular.

Eventually maybe I'll move it to Github and polish it up to the hexogonal goodness.

Here is my question: Is this the best way to setup a 'deep watch' on each text field?

  for(var i =0;i<$scope.game.board.length;i++){
    var word = $scope.game.board[i];
    for(var j=0;j<word.length;j++){
      $scope.$watch("game.board["+i+"]["+j+"].letter",makeCheckWordHandler(i,j));
    }
  }

That is not a "deep watch" in my understanding.  You are creating lots of shallow watches.  A deep watch would simply watch game.board.

I think you are right to do it this way though!

Alternatively you could create your own directive for each crossword cell that reacted to a change of value.
