• Esoteric way of playing a few games

    Hey folks -

    First off, this is a bit offtopic, so I apologize. It's been a few
    months of work, but I finally got my finger presence where my hand
    written designs were originally meant to be. Yeah that's right, finger protocol. An old, underused protocol used for looking people up.

    But, I'm using the protocol in a slightly different way than originally intended. And as such, using the service for displaying information from
    across the internet.

    But, I also mentioned a bit of an on-topic detail about this finger
    presence, I have a few games on it. Now, these aren't games you can play online, since finger data are mere queries that display data. But I do
    have applications creating the game cards you can print out and solve
    the old fashioned way, with pen and paper. I don't plan on implementing
    other games at this point, unless someone makes a compelling suggestion.

    Right now I have daily sudoku (three difficulty levels), anagrams,
    cryptograms, and word search. Each game is refreshed on a daily basis.

    I modeled them to act similar to the games you'd find in the comic's
    section of the newspaper. Today's puzzle + yesterday's solutions. I hope
    you all enjoy the games. Anagrams has the active day's solutions and I
    didn't bother to design an ascii solution card for word search
    since... It's not worth doing it.

    Enjoy the games.
