New Levels, Features, Bug Fixes & Performance + Stability Improvements!

In celebration of our non-profit's latest release, Trade Bots, our team has made a long overdue update to the project. Along with several bug fixes (shout out to @vapier on github for his awesome pull requests and suggestions), performance improvements and upgrades to modern frameworks, we've added the following new content:

  • Two new levels!
  • Integration with one of our favorite tools, regexper. This allows players to visualize their regex. There is a new icon to the left of the input box that opens this.
  • Discord Integration - once a player has five stars, they can engage with discord natively within the game.
  • Various UI improvements including a way to move the lower right box out of the way to have more room for your regex.
Thank you all so much for playing and for your continued support of educational gaming. Please consider trying the free demo of our latest game, Trade Bots and reading about its development here.

Developer Stream: Celebrate Copy Editor 1.0

Copy Editor has finally transitioned from early access and we want to play some of the newest levels with you to celebrate! The project would never have been possible without support and feedback from the community and we're all so grateful to be able to share our mission of educational puzzle games with all of you. Stop by to ask questions about the development of the game, get help on some of the levels, or just to say hello! Hope to see you there. steamhappy Copy Editor 1.0 features:

  • 42 Meticulously crafted levels
  • Live updating frequency distributions of how your scores compare with other players
  • Revamped online play with a level editor and community creations
  • An answer guide for all levels beneath a reworked hint system
  • Improved linting and performance along with copious bug fixes.
We are also hard at work adding a procedural level system to be freely released in the future along with even more levels that complicate later concepts like positive and negative lookaheads even further. Thank you all so much for your support! - The Devs

Full Release Candidate

Hi Everyone! We just made a new update live with lots of bug fixes and improvements from the big Sept 2nd release. Along with one new level, we've refined several of them and added a fully flushed out answer key / guide, a small facelift to online levels and community graphs so you can see how your solutions stack up against other players. We're also working on procedural level system that we're looking forward to adding asap. A special thanks to Isatis Crucifer, who gave a detailed breakdown of necessary fixes in the last release. Thank you again for all the feedback and help! We seriously couldn't do any of this without you guys. All the best! - Chris

40+ Levels & New Features!

Hello! This is Chris, the lead developer. Thank you for sticking with us! This is our non-profit's first early access game and we had planned to release this update earlier, but I'm grateful for your continued patience and for the fact we were finally able to get it done before the start of the school year. Where to begin... this is a massive update. We had no idea how much feedback we would get - so many helpful suggestions and criticisms, all overwhelming helpful and in the service of making a more engaging, educational game - so much so that it really felt like a collaboration, and had us considering elements we would never have otherwise. It continues to amaze me how many people enjoy playing games like this and it's such a pleasure to hear from you and work with you on this genre of game. The big news is we have 41 levels live currently, and many of the previous levels have been tinkered with and reworked. I'm proud to say that there's nothing that (to us anyway) felt padded or repetitive, we were aiming for quality in these levels, as well as a more balanced learning curve, which we think we've improved dramatically, though there's still some work to be done there. Perhaps the most difficult component of level design was making the same puzzle repayable when newer concepts are "unlocked", such that you can earn more stars from it. We really tried to pace the campaign carefully so that you couldn't rush through with your first solution to every level, but rather had to come back and re-examine past levels with an eye toward what you've since learned. That was a truly monumental task, and I hope we've gotten the pacing more or less right. Lots of new concepts are introduced including backtracking (which opened up lots of really neat puzzle opportunities) as well as lookaheads - plus as many of you suggested, flags have been added (though not integrated in puzzles as of yet). Some UI improvements were added along with SFX and a slideshow / cutscene type system that may introduce some concepts and break up the level progression. Out of an abundance of caution, I've created a new public branch called "previous" where the previous build can be accessed just in case there are some bugs. We obviously play tested, but you never know! Thank you for your support and engagement, - I continue to be inspired by the community of players who enjoy games like this. Please feel free to reach out to our non-profit any time (info@cinqmarsmedia.org) or on twitter at @cinqmarsmedia. We always love to hear from you! My Deepest Gratitude, - Chris

More Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

Fixed issues with M1 Macs and the new borderless / fullscreen view. Look to expect new levels in the next update. Thanks for your support!

Total Refactor and Overhaul for Catastrophic Backtracking

The diffs and regex processing now takes place in separate workers independent from the game, so no lag is experienced nor does the game quit if you enter catastrophic regex. Given a top to bottom refactor, please expect a few new bugs to crop up! I put the old build on the beta branch for the moment in case you need to go back for whatever reason. Thanks for the continued feedback and support!

NEW Update | Version 0.6.5

Holy moly, youre a clever bunch. After some fantastic initial feedback, weve just published a quick update to Copy Editor to fix several bugs and implement some of your wonderful ideas. Heres whats new in Copy Editor 0.6.5:

  • Much improved diff displays for whitespace chars (thank you Jared!)
  • Font sizes for both panels are now the same by default (thank you literally EVERYONE).
  • Holding control and scrolling now lets you control font-size individually for both panels. (thank you Leaving Leaves).
  • Hint images and indexes have been updated.
  • Tabs now scroll to the top (thank you Leaving Leaves)
  • page up/dwn works on level select/modals (thank you sam)
  • Text cursor issues when removing first char fixed (thanks sam and others)
  • Right clicking is now disabled.
  • Use the option/alt key toggle expansion of the currently selected input.
  • Previous solutions chars/rules were switched and diff issues were present when loading (thank you Leaving Leaves & sam)
  • Level 21 has been removed (it was not supposed to be included in the early access release - it was just a mocked up premise that leaked)
  • shit+tab or shift+enter now cycles backwards (thank you sam)
  • ctrl+n adds new rule
  • ctrl+m toggles matching for currently selected rule
  • ctrl+h hides current rule
  • ctrl+d deletes current rule
  • shift+rightarrow and shift+leftarrow toggles lower right pane
  • Random launch issues on ubuntu and windows through the steam library *should* now work? We believe the issue is fixed. Please let us know if you encounter anything like this. (thank you Jared and Benedict)
Thank you again to everyone who has left feedback, we cant tell you how helpful and valuable its been. If you dont see your feedback addressed here, it might be something were still working on and will implement soon, but feel free to keep bugging us about it - again, we truly like and appreciate it. Of course, well keep patching as we continue to build Copy Editor out. Let us know what you think, if theres any issues, and have fun!

Copy Editor is an intricate puzzle game that teaches you Regular Expressions (RegEx), commonly used in computer science and language theory. Build complex rules that process and sanitize text for your wacky and demanding publishers who perpetually find themselves in turmoil over comical errors that arise in a variety of old manuscripts that need to be reprinted.

Like its spiritual predecessor, The Devil's Calculator, no familiarity with advanced or even intermediate concepts is assumed, rudiments are learned through gentle tutorials but the focus is always on tactics and lateral thinking. While you will no doubt learn valuable RegEx skills, it is primarily used a pre-text for these sophisticated and rewarding logic puzzles. Game mechanics permit such playful obstructions as a limited number of rules, certain keyboard keys not working for particular levels, and an embellishment of RegEx that extends to Natural Language Processing allowing you to discriminate on criteria like sentiment analysis, stems and parts of speech.

Optimization is a big part of Copy Editor, and you can see how well you stack up to others with detailed histograms of your performance, the number of rules required to sanitize the text as well as the number of chars needed. In this way it is similar to RegEx Golf but far more elaborate and nuanced, since text replacement is of equal importance. A fully formed level editor will allow you to pose your own challenges to the community.
