THCC = GENERATOR VERSION CODEPAGE WIDTH HEIGHT ENCRYPTION LETTERS {FIELD} TITLE AUTHOR LICENCE DESCRIPTION DEFINITIONS GENERATOR = String 0 (The name of Software used to generate this file. Usually it is Arensus Crossword Puzzles Compiler) VERSION = String 0 (The version number of the generator) DESCRIPTION = String 0 (An arbitrary description of this puzzle. The description is a 0-terminated character-string) WIDTH = 2 byte HEIGHT = 2 byte LETTERS = String (The String contains WIDTH*HEIGHT characters. It can be encrypted where the length should not be prolonged. Maybe i should have reserved a flag to indicate encryption.) FIELD = PRIMARY SECONDARY [PIPE PIPE] [4BYTE] [4BYTE] ARROW [ARROW]] PRIMARY = byte (There are WIDTH*HEIGHT PRIMARY) 0 = UNDEFINED 1 = LETTER 2 = BLOCK 3 = CLUE1 4 = CLUE2 5 = RESERVED SECONDARY = byte (There are WIDTH*HEIGHT SECONDARY, each follows one PRIMARY) Bit 1 = BAR_HORIZONTAL (bottom bar of cell) Bit 2 = BAR_VERTICAL (right bar of cell) Bit 3 = CLUE_LETER (Letter which is the first letter of a word. The cell contains clues as well) Bit 4 = SOLUTION_LETTER (Letter which is part of solution-word) Bit 5 = PIPE_A (means pipe A is on) Bit 6 = PIPE_B (means pipe B is on) Bit 7 and 8 is not used yet. Depending on PRIMARY and SECONDARY there follows different numbers of bytes. 4BYTE = 4byte If PRIMARY is LETTER and SECONDARY has bit PIPE_A or PIPE_B on then the two following two bytes are PIPE = byte 0 = UNDEFINED 1 = AB 2 = AD 3 = BA 4 = BC 5 = CB 6 = CD 7 = DA 8 = DC 9 = XLD1 10 = XLD2 11 = XLD3 12 = XLD4 13 = XRD1 14 = XRD2 15 = XRD3 16 = XRD4 17 = XLU1 18 = XLU2 19 = XLU3 20 = XLU4 21 = XRU1 22 = XRU2 23 = XRU3 24 = XRU4 If PRIMARY is LETTER and SECONDARY has bit CLUE_LETTER on then next 4BYTE is the number of this clue-field. If PRIMARY is LETTER and SECONDARY has bit SOLUTION_LETTER then next 4BYTE is the number of solution-letter. If PRIMARY is CLUE1 then next ARROW defines the type of arrow for that clue. If PRIMARY is CLUE2 then next two ARROWs defines the arrows of the two clues. ARROW = byte 0 = UNDEFINED 1 = A1 2 = A2 3 = A3 4 = B1 5 = B2 6 = B3 7 = C1 8 = C2 9 = C3 10 = D1 11 = D2 12 = D3 13 = X1 14 = X2 15 = X3 16 = X4 17 = X5 18 = X6 19 = X7 20 = X8 TITLE = String 0 AUTHOR = String 0 DEFINITIONS = {String 0} |
