Shadify

About Shadify

Shadify is a REST API service that generates puzzle data for multiple puzzle types, including crosswords, Sudoku, and word search. It provides endpoints for generating puzzle content, checking the correctness of submitted solutions, and configuring parameters that adjust puzzle difficulty.

The API is organized into independent modules, each covering a specific game or puzzle type, with documentation describing the available HTTP interfaces, parameters, and response formats. It is built in Go and can be run directly via the Go toolchain or through Docker, with separate setups provided for development and production containers.

The project is intended for developers building applications that need puzzle generation and solution-validation functionality, such as games or puzzle-based tools. The repository is archived and no longer maintained.
