Crossword

areas/games/x_word/
Crossword allows you to create blank crossword puzzle frames and then have the computer fill them with words from a chosen dictionary. You can watch the computer while it works, even interrupting it and stepping one letter at a time to better understand what it's doing. The program is intended to provide a testing ground for different search algorithms. It acts as a visual tool to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a particular method. With a little work and proper understanding of the code, one can add new search algorithms to the program.
