- 2. Design Overview Dr. Finkel has built an application that greatly reduces the amount of effort needed to create logic puzzles that currently has a front-end system that must be run on a Unix machine that has several Perl modules and other solving software installed upon it, our goal is to create a new front-end system that is web-based and inherently cross platform. We plan to use a mixture of PHP, Javascript, and a simple MYSQL database to implement this.
- 3. Environment • PHP : To interface with the programs that are running on the server • JavaScript : Used for syntax checking • MYSQL : Used for saving a loading files
- 4. Use Cases • Registration • Consistent Clues • Login • Extraneous Clues • Desired Puzzle • Unique Solution • Add Clues • Help • Load • Save
- 5. Modules • FrontEnd HTML/PHP Generates CL code from user input • SyntaxCheck Javascript Checks syntax of individual clues • BackEnd (Treated as a “blackbox”) Perl, C++ Returns solutions based on CL code
- 6. Modules • Login HTML, PHP, Javascript Checks if the user name and password fields are filled in, then checks the mySQL data base for the entry • Load HTML, PHP, Javascript Checks if the user has access to the specified file and then retrieves the file
- 7. User Screens
- 8. Database Specification Users (Username, Password, FirstName, LastName) Permissions (Username, Filename)
