Wordsearch generator
====================
This is a Wordsearch generator written in C largely as an exercise in remembering how to use C having originally implemented it in Java (see https://github.com/fooflington/wordsearch-c).
Compiling
---------
Generally you'll probably want the *Release* version which has Optimisation enabled:
```bash
cd Release && make
```
This will drop a `wordsearch` executable
Running
-------
```
Usage: wordsearch <height> <width> [ words ... ]
```
For example:
```
$ ./wordsearch 15 15 gaping panicky lock purple geese massive judge hateful
```
For an existing list of words, the following form can be useful:
```
$ cat file.txt | xargs ./wordsearch 15 15
```
There are some example wordlists included in `tests`.
