Position can be set to centre, top-left or defined each time puzzle
is opened. |
|
Properties
button available from toolbar on Clues screen and Word List screen. |
|
Word List
facilities now available in separate screen from Clue-related data.
This was felt to be appropriate, as it has quite a different
structure (i.e. no clues!) and also keeps things less cluttered. |
|
Ctrl and
right-click over grid toolbar to view the word list screen. |
|
Standard
HTML WebScript template now has optional (additional) answers grid
displayed after other sections. |
|
Upon
registration, if splash-screen is still showing, hides it straight
away. |
|
Minimum
version facility in case new features (e.g. compression)
incompatible with older versions. |
|
Bug Fix:
If Create Mode off when puzzle saved, when re-opened, would
previously alternate between create and test mode with each
subsequent open. |
|
Bug Fix:
Down/Across graphic on grid was not changing straight away when
changing between across and down |
|
Bug Fix:
Word List Author + Notes fields were being blanked when viewing
properties dialog |
|
Bug Fix:
If pressed any button in Across Clue List Grid, closed the dialog
immediately. Changed to close the dialog if the Enter button pressed
for either Across or Down grid. |
|
Bug Fix:
If exceed registration period, would show incorrect (negative) days
overdue by. |
|
Bug Fix: If add new category at top of
list, add to a clue, remove from clue, and try to delete the category,
would give message Category linked to clue(s). Are you sure you want to delete?
when no clues really linked. This was due to the Category-Clue link
not being disposed of properly. |
|
Bug Fix:
Puzzle Properties Page: Clicking on Grid tab sometimes incorrectly
registered as a change. |
|
Bug Fix:
Standard HTML WebScript Template previously did not display
explanations list. Extraneous variable definitions stripped out,
some variable names shortened. Also, hints section would previously
always display, even if empty. |
|
| 29th Oct 2000 |
|
Release,
v1.40 build 2 |
|
Bug Fix:
JavaScript WebScript now instantiates PuzzleFinished variable

reward! |
|
| 16th Oct 2000 |
|
Release,
v1.40 |
|
Properties
screen now has Statistics 2 tab, which shows a bar and pie
chart of word length distribution and proportion. |
|
Can now
use GIF images in image organizer, and thus in any part of
application, including exporting using WebScripts |
|
Saves
output filename (relative to puzzle filename) and relative graphics
path with puzzle, and defaults to same name as puzzle (with .htm
extension) when first go into WebScript screen. |
|
Two new WebScript keywords rtbold and wrbold added to
allow for rightly and wrongly guessed bold letters on grid. Frames
(JavaScript) style WebScript altered to utilise
this facility. |
|
JavaScript
WebScript can use cookie to save half-finished puzzle and recall it
later.
New WebScript keyword to savld to be used as a title for a
cookie - default is same as title, but lower case and with spaces
substituted for underlines. Frame style WebScript altered to use
this (unless blank, in which case, save/load support is omitted from
the script). |
|
Only
register a change in the puzzle when changing the WebScript
parameters if the save overrides with puzzle option is
checked. |
|
Amended
all example crosswords (not templates) to produce presentable
JavaScript style puzzles. |
|
Bug Fix:
Frames WebScript had closing <</IFNDEF>> tag omitted
from backref variable. This meant that if backref
specified, second half of script was not generated. |
|
Bug Fix:
Could not amend WebScript parameters that were a colour with no
default, or amend by typing into text box (either colour or RGB
code). |
|
Bug Fix:
Barre colours in Frames-based WebScript showed as white for named
colours - now all barre colours converted to RGB format, eliminating
problem. |
|
| 9th Oct 2000 |
|
Release,
v1.30 build 3 |
|
Bug Fix:
Encrypted Puzzles sometimes returned the occasional letters
incorrectly (e.g. I as 9). This has been fixed, although puzzles
previously saved as encrypted should be re-saved to work properly.
This was due to a bug in the encryption/decryption algorithm. |
|
Bug Fix:
Frames WebScript previously incremented the history each time the
grid was redisplayed. |
