Crossword Puzzle Git
This project was originally developed for a classroom assignment. It is now deprecated. This page only exists for archival purposes.
Project summary
The purpose of this project was to create a crossword puzzle generator. It was an extra classroom assignment, and it was required it to be developed in C++/CLI, even though managed C++ was already on its way out. To be more specific, Visual Studio wouldn't let you create a new GUI project in C++/CLI anymore, you had to work around it by creating it in an earlier version. But you know how universities are, always on the bleeding edge with their courses!/s
The puzzle generator supports using two data formats:
- OpenOffice Thesaurus files
The main word entry is the one you have to guess, while its synonyms are listed. - WordNet database
The actual meaning of the word is listed, as it's supposed to with crosswords.
Here's an example crossword:
