Developer Stream: Celebrate Copy Editor 1.0Copy 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!

[ 2021-10-14 11:21:18 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.
