Hi ,
I am currently trying to write a program to create a wordsearch where input has to be taken and broken up into the individual grid boxes and possibly make checks on whether or not the word is valid regarding to length of word.

Any help is appreciated.

Do you want the words to interlock with each other? Be in separate rows?

What ideas do you have to start off with as far as implementing this.

i have all the ideas , and some basic knowledge with java ...

yes i would like them to intersect, and have a rough idea of how it may work , but think it is difficult.

user inputs string into INFO MESSAGE interface: got that!!

program has to somehow read the strings individual characters and eventually transfer them onto a grid of some format, with the possibility of checking the intersecting words and also whether they will fit depeding on the position and direction of the word.

also hoping that if that goes smoothly then have every other blank box on grid to be randomly filled... i have an idea tht it may involve the random method using integers, and associating those ints with characters A-Z

currently i have a grid of textfields / buttons, i realise that neither of them are likely to be used but just wanted to test the grid layout.


Thanks!
