Blind Crossword 3D is a crossword puzzle game made to enable blind and partially sighted solvers to solve puzzles. The program is voiced using the Qt text to speech module and is licensed under the GPLv3.
Pull requests, suggestions and feedback are all welcomed. The issue tracker is likely to contain plenty of stuff that needs doing and help would be hugely appreciated and encouraged.
Feedback emails can be sent to Eric Westbrook via the program itself. Or you can open a technical issue on the GitHub issue tracker if you prefer. Thanks!
Documentation The code is documented in the Doxygen style, and so comments can be generated by running it through Doxygen. The documentation should be kept up to date in some branch of the repo and connected to the github pages (but it isn't yet!).
