Hello logic peeps,
I've been having some trouble with lining up the row/column cells of 2 category items due to having mild dyslexia. I created a script (that just runs locally in firefox) that helps highlight all the cells for items in a clue. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what the script does. I am by no means trying to get an advantage over anyone and my times are no where near any records lol.
I was wondering if this could perhaps help any other people that might have the same issue as me? I don't want to release it if the administrators of the website think it will provide an unfair advantage to people. But if I could help someone struggling or even new people who find the game difficult due to having trouble aligning clues, I'd really like that. I am aware that when you mouse over cells, the category items are highlighted, but this wasn't good enough for me.
It was a good project for me, either way, because I was able to learn a lot about javascript and css. I knew the basics of it (being a developer) but it really let me get my hands dirty. (Also if puzzle baron is looking to hire, *cough cough* haha)
Anyway, I'd appreciate feedback either way. If this is something people would be interested in, and the site doesn't mind. I'd probably change it from a local script, to either an extension on it's own, or a script that could be run in something like greasemonkey.
Thanks.
