NEW Update | Version 0.6.5Holy 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!
[ 2021-05-08 21:05:38 CET ] [ Original post ] 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.
