Open Source Cross Word Puzzle Tool (Diagramless)

http://www.archonrpg.com/zips/xword.zip

this is an "incomplete" game by design, hense the designation "tool".
My mother likes doing diagramless puzzles, but does not like writing on graph paper. She wanted
something that was easy to move words around on. For those that have not tried a diagramless puzzle,
just take a regular puzzle, cut-out the existing grid and throw it away. The only clue you can keep is the
total size of the grid (15x15 for example). That means you do not know how many letters a word requires.

Maybe if you want to "finish" this tool into a full game, that mostly means figuring out how to list the clues
and having a bunch of solved puzzles to choose from and such. By using this tool, you can use a puzzle from
the paper. Much cheaper than always buying a puzzle book.

its ok, the first draft is always broken anyway the first post would crash whenever selecting a new game.
I think thats fixed. There was also some issues with text entry.... I think thats fixed too.

The image is boaring anyway, just an array 20x20 of edit gadgets with a toolbar above.
Its nothing fancy, just a gift for my mom. Source code in the zip. Images too.
