Project length

Either short or long, depending on interest and commitment

Description

Libipuz is a C library that loads puzzle files and used by Crosswords as the underlying data structure. It is written in C. Since it is used primarily to parse files from disk, rewriting it in Rust adds additional safety while (hopefully) improving the maintainability of this library.

Requirements

Rust and C Language support required Knowledge of glib is a plus
