I have been working on a crossword app, hoping I could get it to a polished final product, but I just can't seem to find the time. So I am looking for a brave soul to take over the code.
There are quiet a few things that work:
* .puz file parsing
* displaying the puzzle
* displaying the correct clue depending on the position of the cursor
* entering and erasing solution letters
* checking letter at cursor position (if the puzzle is unlocked)
Issues to be addressed:
* non-touch reader interface
* puzzles larger than 15x15
* help menu
* the field layout was borrowed from Minesweeper and there may be a better approach
* checking a whole word and a whole puzzle
This is surely an incomplete list but it gives an idea of the remaining work.
Finally, the current name of the project is an unimaginative "Word" ("XWord" is already taken by another crossword project). So as a bonus you get to rename it something clever and funny
if you decide to take this on, not to mention bringing crossword to PRS platform:)
