Hello Valentina

If you use images for the crossword puzzle, how will the User enter the text characters?

I think you are going to need to use rows of TextBoxs (without an image).....

Edit: - or possibly define it as an HTML Table?

There is a trade off to consider if you want to create crossword designs in the AI2 Designer. You lose the ability to load puzzle designs from files or a data base You become the sole author of those puzzles, losing the ability to sit back and let other users create and share puzzles for your app. Here are a couple of (working) puzzle projects that load their puzzles from files and adapt their boards to fit the loaded puzzles ...

Your puzzle consists of rows and columns of square boxes, So you only need one Screen and one 'base' empty puzzle, which you can fill programmatically.

Ahhh..
For example I write the first level in the code when click the level arrive the letters and then the users games right?

Store the Levels as Lists or externally as CSV files.

Okkk thanks

Do you have a fixed list of crosswords? Or you generate the crosswords dynamicly? Just curious about how to.

[ChrisWard]

You would store the rows of a crossword in a List (or CSV File) to make one crossword, and store the hints in the same List or a separate List. You can make several more in the same way and either call them into the App in sequence (maybe from easy to difficult) or randomly. So, predefined files or Lists, loaded on demand.

A user asked me about creating a crossword app, I told him that one way could be with CSS.
