Thread: Please Help

I'm in a group of 4 and need to make this program in C. The other three have no idea what there doing. I have a good idea but the entire program is hard for me to grasp.

Please could anyone code this for me? I swear I'm not just using you I will go through and make it my own. I just need a structure to go on. Once you create the function to place the array of chars in the grid you just change it by +1 or -1 for the 8 directions. ....UP, down left right and the four diagonals.

Thank you very very much if you can code this for me!

It basically creating just a crossword puzzle


Each group member must create at least two functions (including main).

You can have many more if you want. The program is to generate a puzzle
search game SHEET ONLY.

The program will input between 1 and 16 words.

The program will create a word search puzzle such as followsL

//Sorry the grid does not line up as it does on my computer.

You are to generate 70 letters in a row and 25 rows. You are to randomly
place the words into the grid. The words can be placed in one of eight
directions. You must allow for the words to cross each other.

Once the 1 to 16 words have been placed into the grid you are to fill
in the remaining places with other letters. Once you have the grid
completed (all words entered and all spaces filled in), you are to
create a list of the 1 to 16 words under the grid in two columns in
alphabetical order. The output needs to go to the screen and to a text
file. Please remember this program is not playing a game only building
a hardcopy word search puzzle.

Deliverables:
1. TeamName.c source code (*.h if necessary) (working source code)
2. TeamName.txt (the latest version of the output)
3. Design layout document(s) [whatever you used to design the code]
a. I P O Chart
b. Structure Chart
c. Flow Chart
d. Pseudo Code
4. Individual Team Assessment Sheets for yourself and each team member

All members will attend on there assigned days at their assigned times.

Then can I get any help with the function that would place the word from left to right on the grid.

Code:

char grid[70][25]
char word[100];
int len, startrow, startcol;
/* At some point a word was read into the 'word' string. */

len = strlen(word);
startrow = 5;
startcol = 7;
/* put word horizontally */
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
    word[startrow][startcol + i] = word[i];

Sorry I think some of you didn't understand what I was asking for. I worded it all weird. I have I think all but the directions to go off of. When I get home I'll post my code I have. Thanks for the help! Glad I found this site.
