Written in bash, designed to be used specifically with the pctX-style letter division puzzles.
To install, place in your ~/bin and make sure they are executable and that it is in your PATH.
Enjoy!
The following scripts are available for use:
- borrowtakes - formats puzzle for recording borrows and takes
- equations - generates an "Equations" content section
- rangetable - generates a range table for the puzzle
- relationalchains - generates a "Relational Chains" content section
- statetables - generates a "State Tables" content section
Use individually, or together in a command-line pipeline to generate content that assists with manual letter division puzzle solving.
For example:
$ cat puzzle | borrowtakes | rangetable
or:
$ borrowtakes puzzle
Tools support direct file access or STDIN redirection (a la pipeline) to use in the scenario that offers greatest productivity.
Each tool accepts 'help' as a command-line argument, which will display its particular usage information and exit:
$ relationalchains help
