Crossword Project

CrosswordPlayer is an interactive web crossword puzzle player in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) comparable to commercial Flash and Java implementations.

To play a crossword, go to http://www.koonts.com/crosswordplayer. You may need to download a plugin to view SVG files.

The browser Firefox, currently has a native SVG viewer. If your User Agent (browser) does not include a native SVG viewer, you can download the Adobe SVG Viewer plugin. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), an openly specified W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) technology, is a XML-based vector graphics markup language for describing 2-D graphics and graphical applications.

CrosswordPlayer is able to play puzzles in an open crossword format, as well as puzzles in .puz format. Unable to find an open crossword puzzle format, I started developing my own. I'd like it to be easier for people to exchange and play crossword puzzles. I hope soon to replace my early attempt with a more workable crossword format.
