NAME

Games::Crossword::Puzzle::Cell - one of those little square bits with a number

VERSION

version 0.004

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

new

  my $cell = Games::Crossword::Puzzle::Cell->new(\%arg);

You probably don't mean to use this directly.

Valid arguments are:

  across - the across clue
  down   - the down clue
  number - the cell's number
  value  - the value that belongs in the cell
  guess  - the value that a user has put into the cell

In the future, this may return a singleton for The Black Cell.

across

down

These methods return the clues for the word beginning in this cell, if any.

number

This method returns the cell's number, if it is numbered.

value

This returns the value that should appear in the cell. It returns undef for black cells. Note that this may be more than one character, in case of a rebus.

guess

This returns the value that has been filled into the cell by the user. It returns undef for black or empty cells.
