The leaves were gently falling as I lay in the hammock pondering
the wonders of nature and thinking of my wonderful family.
So naturally, I started trying to fit their names into a
mental crossword ... honest! Once I had one, I tried
"improving" it in various ways. Not wanting to suffer alone,
this task now becomes the next POTM:
XWORDS: Build a Crossword Puzzle
Deadline February 28th, 2005
THE SHORT PROBLEM STATEMENT
It is quite simple really: I'll give you a list of words and you
use them to make a crossword puzzle in a 16x32 grid. You'll
be able to use the words more than once in the grid and there
is a special "flipper" square you can use as a wild card. The
winner will be the program that can create the "best"
fully connected crossword in one minute -
the XWORDS details
will tell you exactly what "best" means!
If it sounds interesting, sign up using the Members Section link on the left
and start watching the forums
for more details, current standings, how to submit your entry, and
much discussion among the jolly band of POTM participants!
