Struct

IpuzClueId

Description [src]

struct IpuzClueId {
  IpuzClueDirection direction;
  guint index;
}

Represents a unique id for a clue.

Within a puzzle, clues can be identified by a IpuzClueId. For example, this id:

IpuzClueId clue_id = {
   .direction = IPUZ_CLUE_DIRECTION_DOWN,
   .index = 5
};

would refer to the 6th clue in the down direction.

Note that index is an offset into the list of clues, and has nothing to do with the numbering the user sees. The clue at 1 Across would have an index of 0.

If direction == IPUZ_CLUE_DIRECTION_NONE, then the number is meaningless, and this means that there is no clue to be identified (e.g. equivalent to a NULL pointer for clue).

Note

IpuzClueIds aren’t guaranteed to be stable when editing puzzles. Changing the grid my lead to a change in index for a given clue.
