The .puz ascii format uses . for black and many people use it (I have some files too). Agree about 0 though. Hmm. I've already used _, |, +, @, *.
Maybe $ for no solution?
I'll also need to tweak my state-saving code if I make this change.
yeah, or maybe + or ? (though ? looks a bit ugly)
Can you point to to an example rebus with 0s? Perhaps I can solve this some other way ..
not offhand, but i've defnitely done american style crosswords where some of the squares were numbers (and symbols, for that matter). the hard part is you need a way to represent a partially filled in grid, so you have to pick one character to be the "unfilled square" character, and
OK. I think I should perhaps be able to handle them by forcing the setter to somehow "escape" the 0 in the exolve format, given that these are uncommon. But please send me an example whenever you run into one next, thanks!
Closing this. I'll deal with handling support for saving/indicating 0s as entries using some escape sequence.
Alphanumeric characters like 0 are often used in rebus grids.
