Cross-codes is making a crossword puzzle, but with codes.

For example, We have a 10*10 (not constant, this means the size may vary for each contest) grid:

..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........

And your code is MY_CODE, you can place your code anywhere in the grid, vertically or horizontally.

For example:

..........
...MY_CODE
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........

Next, Let's assume the next code is MOM.

The poster could place it like

..........
...MY_CODE
...O......
...M......
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........

But not like:

..........
..MMY_CODE
..O.......
..M.......
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........
..........

Because it is adjacent to another code which is MY_CODE, making it look like MMY_CODE.

The winner would be the one with the most codes placed, when there is nobody able to place a new code on the grid for a set time period (ex.1 week).

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yeah, this isn't a challenge type, it's just a single challenge, which should be posted in the sandbox. It's also already been done. \$\endgroup\$
