If you dont know RegEx this isn't a game for you. The teaching aspect of the game is not well made.
I wanted to like this game but I just cannot recommend it. Rather than focus on the regular expression puzzle aspect, it makes that kind of hard and chooses other "puzzles" like the ceaser cipher level. That is the stupidest idea, frustrating, has nothing to do with regex what-so-ever. Why in gods name would you make the titular aspect of your game the most painful? You realize there are actual regex preview programs out there right? Great idea, horrible execution
做的很精心,建议搭配AI工具食用,这样的游戏多来点
La verdad que no he jugado mucho este juego, pero lo poco que he estado, me ha encantado. Soy una persona a quien le encanta escribir y derrepente apareció este juego, que me permitía escribir y además con puzles (Otro género que me encanta). Totalmente recomendado si te gustan las letritas.
level 6 sucks. Its too annoying. you don't need to do that. That is not what I expected. I don't want to press every key to find solution. I DONT want to write a mapping table for it. you ruined my free time.
I am loving it. I love the chatbox conversations the coworkers are having. I love the stupid caricature of the boss type. I love the writing sample selections. I love the color. While this game is in desperate need of a tutorial that experts could skip and the zoom function for the text area is a little awkward, it's totally workable. Most importantly, I love how this worked out so well as a game to sit and play cooperatively with someone. It's fun to solve these puzzles together and try to optimize the work you've done. This was absolutely worth the small fee to buy this game.
Explicitly forbids you from using certain constructs until the game teaches them to you at a later time. Basically, you are forced to create a worse solution, instead of the just handing you the tools to create the best possible one.
If you know some regular expression, this game could be some practice. But.. if you want to play this as a puzzle game, this lacks a lot of features which any puzzle game should have. Bad UI. (doesn't remember full screen settings. hotkey for larger/smaller letters are strange) Lack of tutorials. Poor level designs. (if you want to get three stars on certain level, you have to know advanced regex which is not explained in that level) Bad system. (Doesn't remember your answers, so once you try different level, you have to solve the previous level from scratch (to optimize to gain more starts))
so hard
I had come across regex at work so a few basics I already know. I hoped this game deepens understanding in some of the functions to get more routine using the expressions. Of course you can try real training, web if full of them but hey, it's a game. And the story line makes it really funny. I think I'm already more familiar with it after some rounds of play - and of course with many more question marks than before - but slowly I think I'm getting better in using it. This game gives you a start. And naturally - the more you need to make use of regex, the more you go into details beyond the scope of this game. For the start - it's fine and regex101 website is a must earlier or later. But less funny.
