Xword V2

New crossword puzzle UI version. [http://mh-z.com/xword/v2/ Check it out here]. I have rudimentary input support — just put the mouse over a clue or spot on the board and start typing. The entry point always goes to the first available empty square in a word. I’m trying to make the program smart about which direction you’d want to be typing in when hovering over a square, but right now it just uses a checkerboard pattern (which would take too many words to explain, so just try it out). The easier alternative is to explicitly let you control the current direction (by right-clicking). I’m not sure which one will feel more intuitive in the end.
