Thread: Crossword puzzle - Nordic style

    Crossword puzzle - Nordic style

    Fellow Pascal Programmers!

    Christmas is upon us. I had hoped to be able to show some new game concept, alas that wasn't possible. Maybe next year.

    Instead of game programming I spent the fall making a crosswords program. It's not one of those cheat AI programs that construct the actual crosswords but rather some code for handling and presenting input made by real humans.

    Since I'm Swedish I mainly make Swedish language crosswords but here comes a first one in English.

    The crossword is presented as a huge image file. If you want to print it out, landscape A6 size it suitable.

    Enjoy!

    P.s. the image may be removed from the webb-host at some later date..

    The game programming has been delayed.. but here comes an other Nordic style crossword. The image may be removed from the server at some later time.
    Happy puzzling!

    I'm not much in the Crossword games. Also I'm not English native so it's too hard for me to fill one of these.

    Yeah.. Crosswords are an other cup of tea than game programming. I too am not English native so it's hard for me to make them.

    I had hoped to be able to present yet a mini-game in progress, where your feedback will be vital, but unfortunately not yet presentable.


    Meanwhile I got an other crossword puzzle. This time some geography skills can really help.

    Happy solving!

    You should try crosswords.

    The main problem with crosswords is that they are tightly bound to the language used for their preparation.
    So in order to solve the crossword you first need good vocabulary knowledge from that specific language.
    In your above crossword I see you used names from specific places. You may be thinking "Names of places surely are not bound to language since they were chosen by residents of specific place". If you do you are so wrong. For instance let us just take a look at the name of your country.
    In English it is called Sweden
    In Swedish it is called Sverige
    In Slovenian it is called Švedska
    You could see how this can make it hard if a non English person is solving English crossword.
