This page of guidelines is a living document and reflects our current best practices on crossword construction. Setup the grid canvas: size, holes, black boxes, imposed words Ī functional out of the box example is provided in testWizium.py.A New York Times crossword will be a collaboration between you and our staff of editors, who will seek to preserve your voice while making the puzzle as enjoyable as possible for solvers.
solver_start: Start the grid generation process.grid_read: Read the whole content of the grid.grid_set_box: Set the type of box at a given grid coordinate.dic_gen_num_words: Return the number of words in the dictionary.dic_find_entry: Find a random entry in the dictionary, matching a mask.dic_find_random_entry: Find a random entry in the dictionary, matching a mask.dic_add_entries: Add entries to the dictionary.dic_clear: Flush the dictionary content.Except for the initialization that is handled automatically, there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between this class functions and the their equivalents in C. A Wizium module instance can be created through the Wizium class, provided the path to the libWizium library file. LibWizium.py is a Python wrapper giving full access to the engine capabilities. SOLVER_Stop: Stop the grid generation process.SOLVER_Step: Move a few steps in the grid generation process.SOLVER_Start: Start the grid generation process.GRID_Read: Read the whole content of the grid.
GRID_SetBox: Set the type of box at a given grid coordinate.DIC_GetNumWords: Return the number of words in the dictionary.DIC_FindEntry: Find a random entry in the dictionary, matching a mask.DIC_FindRandomEntry: Find a random entry in the dictionary, matching a mask.DIC_AddEntries: Add entries to the dictionary.DIC_Clear: Flush the dictionary content.WIZ_CreateInstance: Create a new independent module.The library API is declared in the file libWizium.h. config Release -target installĪssuming CMake in installed on your machine, Run the command cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=圆4.Binaries/Windows directory.Īssuming CMake and Visual Studio are installed on your machine, Projects/VS2017/libWizium.vcxproj -p:Configuration=Release -p:Platform=圆4 Launch the "Developer Command Prompt" from the start menu.On Windows, you can find Visual Studio projects in the Projects directory.Īssuming Visual Studio is installed on your machine,.The CMakelists.txt file in the source directory let you use CMake for the generation on any platform.Currently it has been tested with Visual Studio on Windows and GCC on Linux. Otherwise, any C++ compiler should fit your needs. If you are on Windows and do not want to compile the library, you can simply use the pre-generated one available here and skip this step. A python wrapper is available right now, other languages may be easily added.Ī high level explanation of this project can be found on my blog (in French) or on Medium (in English). The engine comes as a library written in C++. The generator is very fast and can work with initial constraints like fixed black boxes pattern or words already in place on the grid. This project is a crosswords generator engine able to generate grids from dictionaries, as depicted below.
