I was just wondering if anyone here had created such a beast. It
seems like a product Rev might be good for. I'm looking to
purchase one, actually, to use in the classroom, as well as to
integrate into a curriculum package that will be an adjunct to a
Rev product I'm working on. For educational needs it needn't be
a NY Times type thing. Just a well-thought, professional
generator where the user types in the clues and words and the
puzzlemaker creates a puzzle. It should have font and size
capabilities, as well as background images/patterns/colors.
After generation, each element should be resizable and movable so
the user can set up a nice-looking custom page for printout.
(Basically five elements: down clues, across clues, answers, bg
image/rect, and puzzle itself). Printing is a must, export to
PDF, jpg, other options.
Mark,
There are plenty of commercial apps out there for about $20.00 that
would suit your needs just fine. You can find one such program at
most local teacher stores. You can also order most of the
available commercial versions from any educational catalog like:

Right. The one I like best at this point is called CrossWord Forge
(was CrossWordz -- http://www.solrobots.com) though it's a bit pricy
at 50.00. But the interface is very nice, unlike some. But moving/
rearranging elements is still lacking in the current iteration.
I was just wondering if someone in the Rev community had created such
a product. A person with some skill could probably do a bang-up job
of it. People are always asking about visible commercial Rev
products (non in-house) on the list.
