DOUBLE TROUBLE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Well, I can say for sure that I completely broke today’s AL file. I have a theme that simply cannot be shown as correct by the program. Fascinating that this is the industry standard, while puzzles are being pushed further and further past AL’s technical abilities. As a solver, I guess it doesn’t bother me too too much as the majority of my own solving habits nowadays are weird variety puzzles and/or overseas cryptics, and pretty much 100% of those puzzles have to be solved on paper.I just stuff my pockets full of them when I’m taking Tabitha to the playground or something. But really,though, on-screen solving is where the future is, and well, we’re sorely lacking in software to reflect the genre-breaking puzzles that are becoming more and more commonplace. Surely to God there is some mad genius in her dorm room somewhere coding said program as we speak. And if she’s out there, have her get in touch with me. I’ve got ideas of how to make this theoretical program better.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
