Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : gnome-crosswords Version : 0.3.4 Upstream Contact: Jonathan Blandford? * URL : https://gitlab.gnome.org/jrb/crosswords * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: C Description : crossword player and editor
Features: • Uses .ipuz files internally and supports a significant chunk of the open .ipuz spec for crosswords • Supports cryptic, barred, arrowword, filippine, and rebus-style puzzles • Loads .ipuz, .puz, and .jpz files from disk • Supports standalone puzzle collections of crosswords with multiple ways of playing them • External puzzle set downloaders can be used to download puzzles • Extensive styling support for crosswords. Square, black and white crosswords are traditional, but this game can also take advantage of color and shapes • Reveal button to find mistakes in the puzzle • Hint button to suggest possible answers using Peter Broda's Wordlist • Puzzle checksums for puzzles that don't include an answer • Respects the Desktop-wide dark-mode preference • Language-specific quirks • Adaptive sizing to let it work on tablets or mobile form-factors While Debian has crossword puzzle apps, they're all very dated. They are mostly using Xlib or Xaw so they look unpleasant. This depends on libipuz-dev from the same author, so that would have to be packaged at the same time. https://gitlab.gnome.org/jrb/libipuz I suppose technically that should also have an RFP, but I don't think it has any use beyond "so I can have gnome-crosswords".
