Public Linux Depots:- Copy Editor: A RegEx Puzzle Depot [190.33 M]
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,

[ 2023-06-19 09:09:25 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.
