#27931 — 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.
