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

- Copy Editor: A RegEx Puzzle Depot [190.33 M]
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.
