I recently started work on a mobile game for Android and iOS using the CoronaSDK (which I’m loving so far), and one of the mechanics in the game is the solving of cryptogram puzzles.
I just put together a first draft of what the cryptogram solving interface will look like. Features:
- User can touch a letter to highlight all occurences of that letter in the ciphertext
- User can (with a ciphertext letter higlighted) select a letter to replace it
- The selected letter then appears over all occurrences of the ciphertext letter
- The selected plaintext letter is greyed out to indicate that it has been used
- Once all the letters have been filled in correctly, the app recognizes that the puzzle has been solved
