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: <http://www.learningservicesus.com/>
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.
Mark
I got very close to creating one along with a Word Search program.
Due to the state of education market at this time, it would not be
worth the development and marketing costs.
