Copy Editor: A RegEx Puzzle

Sadly Im also agreeing with bad reviews here. Great potential. Fails to deliver the lesson before it gives you puzzle. Every regex rule should have one lesson and then it can also dive into some tricks to ease the work, but it is not doing much. The star system is badly implemented, it demotivates. while, similar to Zachtronics, its giving a graph, which would be on its own enough to hint that perhaps robust solution could be polished. Im so so sad this didnt work as I imagined it would.

Regex made fun. Well, maybe, not quite, but very entertaining and can play and, genuinely learn something useful.

I have no clue what I should do. Totally lost!

Recommendation: Not Recommended I bought "Copy Editor" hoping to get better at practical, real-world Regex, but I have ended up incredibly frustrated by the game's artificial throttling. Instead of letting you solve text challenges using standard, elegant, and efficient Regex patterns, the game constantly locks basic syntax elements (like the * or ? quantifiers, or $1 backreferences in the replace field). While the developer likely intended this to create iterative "puzzles," the actual result is that it forces more knowledgeable developers to write four or five fragile, brute-force rules to do a job that a single, standard Regex rule would solve instantly. It doesn't teach you how to write good, efficient Regex—it teaches you how to write clumsy workarounds to satisfy an artificial game engine. If you want a puzzle game that very slowly iterates over logical puzzles using Regex characters as a skin, you might enjoy this. But if you are actually trying to learn practical Regex to use in your day-to-day work, this game will only slow you down, frustrate you and teach you bad habits.

可以多放点教程吗QAQ，每关我都是网上查半天文档才能写出符合要求的表达式

Es gibt keine Tutorials oder Einsteiger Zeugs. Genauso wie keine Lautstärke Regelung oder sonstige advanced einstell Möglichkeiten. Es läuft so ab: spiel Start das was ich habe und das, was er wieder haben will. sonnst ist da nicht viel Nützliches. Ich habe erhofft, dass das spiel, mir etwas mit RegEx hilft, weil ich da ein kompletter noob drin bin aber da hilft simples Trial-and-Error mehr als das Game. Sorry, dass ich so eine negative Bewertung abgebe aber, dass musste sein

It's pretty good. Haven't gotten to the complicated stuff yet. I like using regex but have to relearn it every time I need it. Having the target text in front of you offloads some of the brain capacity needed to solve problems with regex, so you can just concentrate on solutions. You can also highlight all the parts your rule is changing, which makes it more fun to optimize.
