Testing

Copy crossword_spec.koplugin into koreader/spec/unit. Run the tests with ./kodev test front crossword_spec.lua.

Flaws

• Deleting the crossword history doesn't delete the underlying puzzle values. In other words, you can't delete the history and expect to start a puzzle fresh again.
• The puzzle library doesn't show you puzzles you have completed or are working in progress.
• There's no congratulatory message upon completing a puzzle (I would expect balloons).
• There are no easter eggs.
