General ⇒ cwpuzzle, beamer | Crossword Puzzle in a Presentation

[HerrWeigel]

Hi, I have a problem when trying to embed a crossword puzzle in beamer presentation. Here is a simple example of what I want to do:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{cwpuzzle}
\listfiles

\begin{document}
	\begin{frame}
		\begin{Puzzle}{5}{5}
			|{}	|{}	|[1]S	|.
			|{}	|[2]M	|I	|[3]D	|.
			|[4]T	|I	|M	|E	|S	|.
			|{}	|[5]N	|E	|G	|.
			|{}	|{}	|Q	|.
		\end{Puzzle}	
	\end{frame}
\end{document}

Here is the result:

Code: Select all

— — —[1]S —. — —[2]M —I —[3]D —. —[4

As you can see, we miss the puzzle, but get text from "Puzzle" environment, where "|" are removed and "{}" are replaced by "-".
I haven't found anything about using cwpuzzle with beamer in the package documentation. Why is this happening and what I should do to embed a puzzle in presentation?

Thanks a lot!

Seems that class and package are simply not compatible.

Thanks for the answer, localghost.
It seems like I need to made this work by pasting a picture in presentation... But it's certainly better than nothing.

Thank you.

If you don't really need the mechanism of creating the puzzle, you could draw it yourself by the pgf/tikZ package.

Yes, I know about this package. But I need to easily print empty puzzle and then same but filled (sorry for my pure English). It's very easy with cwpuzzle. With PGF/TikZ I'll need to copy/paste code. Brrr...
However, it doesn't matter. I've created a pictures with puzzles and than included them into the presentation. Not very good solution, I know, but I don't have enough time to solve it prettier. Maybe later I'll take a closer look at this problem.
