Chapter 9
Posted on July 26th, 2009 4 commentsChapter 9 deals with using external data, specifically XML, as a source for your game’s content. We’ll dissect a crossword puzzle game to see how XML provides a flexible, re-usable container for text-based elements.

Hi Chris,
I found a typo in chapter 9.
The end of the XML file on page 134 should be
<clues>
and not
<clue>
Until now your book is great!
You should really write more about this subject.Ruben

hi can i know which line or section of the codes determines the number of tiles or rather which code determines whether the answer should be cross or down. I tried correcting the XML files, but it seems that the XML file determines only the clue. ); plz help. thank you.

I’m not totally sure I understand the question. The XML determines the dimensions of the puzzle, and any non-underscore character is given a tile. The createPuzzle method is what iterates through the XML and builds all the lists. Can you be more specific?

is there a way rather than clicking on the word to see the hint, can we have all hints published below like a regular word puzzle?
