Troubleshooting

General troubleshooting¤

The crossword game is too big or too small
  • This is an issue on some browsers/computers. To fix it, simply press Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- (pressing Cmd instead of Ctrl if you are on MacOS) as many times as required to resize the game.
Zoom doesn't work. Why?
  • You likely did not have an active internet connection while opening the web app. This will prevent the jquery script from being fetched, thus removing the zoom plugin's functionality.
  • Try connecting to the internet, reloading the crossword page (or loading a new crossword and opening it in a new tab), then try the the Zoom feature again.
pip/python doesn't work when I type it into my terminal
  • Ensure you are using the "right" python/pip, which may be python3 or pip3.
  • Alternatively, read installation to install Python or pip from scratch.
I opened the web app and the crossword game did not appear
  • You may have opened the web app without a browser open. Because of this, the browser may forget that it has to open a new tab with the crossword. Try pressing Open once more, or manually enter the address to the crossword game, which defaults to localhost:5000. The port may be different, if so, open the file at the path: <documents-dir>/xpuz/config.ini to see what your port is set to.
