Puzzle Grid

An app for drawing grids for select types of puzzles.

New in version 2.1.3

* Fixed a bug where if you had auto-fill turned on on your keyboard, you couldn't type answers into the crossword.
* Fixed a "bug" where ghost-mode stayed on when you switched between edit mode and fill mode.
* Made the crossword grid (hopefully) scroll so that cell you select is visible.

An app for drawing and filling in selected puzzle grids on your phone/tablet, to avoiding having to write on public papers, or for if you only briefly have access to the puzzle.
Supports Crossword, Sudoku, and Battleship grids.
For Crossword grids:

* Draw a grid with any rectangular dimensions;

* Use common symmetries to quickly draw the grid;

* Load clues into the app as an image;

* Highlight clues in the image so that they can be visible alongside the grid;

For Sudoku grids:

* Undo actions;

* Ghost mode allows you to test solutions without overwriting the cells you are confident in;

* Automatically check for repeated numbers;

For Battleship grids:

* Draw a grid with any rectangular dimensions;

* Undo actions;

* Ghost mode allows you to test solutions without overwriting the cells you are confident in;

* The app keeps track of how many boats of each length you have and how many segments in each line;

For all grids:

* Save and load partially filled grids to return to later;

* The option to autosave allows the grid to be stored for when you next open the app;

New in version 2.1.2

* Allowing text file clues to be loaded (instead of only images). The formatting is still rather strict, but without knowing use-cases I can't really make it any better (I'm open to suggestions). This was only really added as an easy consequence to crossword generation anyway.
* Fixing a "small" bug that caused an error screen to appear when you saved over a previous save. It still saved, and changing tab clears the error screen, so it wasn't bad from a functionality pint of view. It was just ba

New in version 2.1.1

* Changing the Save/Load text to a floppy-disc icon (and making it slightly smaller than the other options).
* Generalising the main widgets to all use the same super-class (to make it easier to add things later).
* Fixing a typo that meant that the sudoku puzzles were saving to the crossword save file. (This wouldn't have been noticeable on the user side, but I wanted to fix it anyway. If you had saved any sudoku puzzles since I added the option 2 days ago: Sorry, but you're going to lose your
