!JigWord, V1.60, 1991, written by P.Bentley
-------------------------------------------
!JigWord is a word puzzle creation program, ie. it creates a jigword. What's one of them, I hear you ask, (perhaps). It's like a crossword with no clues, just a grid and a list of words. To see one, load !JigWord, click on it's icon, and the JigWord creation window should pop up. Enter the width as 30, the height as 15, enable start word, and click on create. The hourglass will pop up, and after about 3 seconds, a !JigWord window will appear within a !JigWord display window.
Menu options from the JigWord display window are fairly self-explanatory. 'Info' gives information about the current JigWord; 'Cheat' fills in all the words for you (but deselecting cheat by clicking on it again, restores you to the state in which you left it in); 'Words' displays the words window (more about that later); and, 'New View' gives you a new view of the same JigWord, which can be useful for solving BIG JigWords.
By clicking on 'Words', !JigWord displays a list of words of a certain length, all of which have a specified place in the puzzle. To see different word lengths, use the arrow icons. The only current menu option is 'New View', which will give you a new view of the words window, so you can display the 3 letter word list at the same time as the list for 12 letter words (etc. etc.).
To put a word into a space, first select it with the pointer (Select or Adjust) and it will be highlighted in red (if you want to change the colour, I might shove a variable into PROCInitSomethingOrOther), and then select the word from the list. If it's not the right length, the computer will ignore it, if it's the right length but doesn't coincide with letters already in, the computer will beep. When you select a space in which two words can fit (ie. one vertical one and one horizantal one) both will be highlighted. If you now click on a word (in the word window), it will be put into the space the right length. If both spaces highlighted are the same length, the computer takes no action (not even a beep). If you have highlighted two spaces, and only want one, then just select the space wanted again in a different place. If you want to put a word into a space already occupied, just select another word and the old word will be swapped with the new one. If you wish to remove a word totally from a space without replacing it with a new one, find the word occupying the space in the word-list, and click adjust over it.
Several puzzles can be active at once (currently 11), but it can only create one at a time. The create facility may, in future versions (V1.70+) create in the background, but still only one puzzle at a time. If I do create such aprogram, I'll send the add-on module to Archimedes World.
The creation window allows various sizes to be created, the minimum is 30*15 the maximum is 99*99. 30*15 is a nice size, useful for demonstrating as it only takes about 3 seconds to create, but for a proper challenge, you should try 62*23. This takes about 30 seconds to create, but can be quite difficult.If you're in mode 12 (or one of its siblings), clicking the full size icon will display the whole puzzle at once. If you're in mode 16, you'll be able to see all the puzzle all the time and have a few word list on the other sideof the screen. The reason why it's fairly slow is that the algorithm was designed not to use up mega-bytes of memory, ie. if you just used a 100*100 matrix to create in, that would take up about 10k of memory, if you wanted the theoretical full size (256*256) it would take up about 64K. The current algorithm uses just a word-space list to keep memory requirements to a minimum. Creating the maximum size of 99*99 is tantamount to raytracing a T1000 Terminator or get a small band of monkeys to rewrite Macbeth. It takes forever (well, about 15 minutes actually.)
The current dictionary was supplied to me by a friend known as Al'. It has about 5000 words, the problem is, is that it only has about 4 words over 14 letters in length. This is because Al' doesn't know many long words (he only got a C in English language GCSE!)
The print option was the last to be added, because my CPA-80+ doesn't do a very good impression of an Epson FX. So I had to keep borrowing an LC-10.
There are two print options, one from the word list menu, which prints out just the word list, and doesn't need a printer driver. The other from a JigWord menu, which needs a printer driver and prints the chosen JigWord to the selected printer. Using the Star LC-10, I had to use high-res printing, as with low and medium res, the resolution was so low that it kept missing lines out. This could probably be cured somehow, but I'm not sure how. The maximum size that can be printed out is 69*27, anything bigger gets clipped (on 'A4ish' paper). This could be cured by changing the transform matrix used(near the end of the program) or getting a bigger printer. When printing a JigWord, if you have words in the grid, they too will be output. To make themlook better, use SysFont from a previous archimedes world (a few months back)to change the font to thin.
To change the hi-lite colour, there's now a variable in PROCInitialise calledHiLiteCol (I think), it's currently set to eleven (red) but yellow (9) looks better.
If you have any SPECIFIC questions about particular parts of !JigWord then write and ask me, I don't bite (not often anyway, and only when hungry and provoked). If you have any useful criticisms, comments, bugs (yeah right, dream on), or just plain old fan letters, send them to:

If you think JigWord's are a daft idea, complete a hard one and reconsider.
Thanks go to Al' (for the dictionary), Matt & Karl (for the annoying habit offinding inconspicuous little bugs that didn't make a blind bit of difference to the day to day running of JigWord, unless you actually tried doing a horrible thing like actually trying to solve one), The Dog (for skulking around the house looking very suspicious ('Was that a small, brown tail I sawhanging from your mouth, Tiny?')), The Gerbils (for being small and furry, butexactly where did the third, BROWN one go to?), The pet rats I never got, andlast, and probably least, Kerry and Sarah (my penpal's) for forgiving me for not writing for months because of !Jiggy (you do forgive me, don't you?).
Hello's go to Al, Matt, Karl, Tiny, Sez', Kez', Psychedelia (what my rat was going to be called before people started saying they didn't want no undergrown pit-bull in the house), Kerry, Sarah, Simon, Col', 'Michelle', Madz', Clemz', Lorna, and all my other friends that I've probably forgotten (I have got more friends, haven't I? Good.)
Hi's to everyone at EDC and thanks to them for helping me with my SBC project(which is supposed to be finished this week, I should be documenting that, not this) ie. Mike, Phil, Richard, Steve, Mike, Chris, Mike, Pete, Nicky, andthe barmaids for the groovee food.
To Armaxess, !RiscDreams was excellent, I hope my demo will turn out as good. (it depends if my friend Alan actually starts the Real-Time raytrace I keep telling him to, it's not that complicated!)
Hi to all the great ARM programmers out there, keep all the great software coming in whatever form so that we can really kick Amiga's and ST's in the peripheral port.
After spending about 6 months playing around with this word puzzle program, Ineed the Chocks-Away Extra Missions Disc, and an ARM 3 upgrade to play it with. Programming can send you senile you know, just ask my therapist! 00000000 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | |
