Copy Editor: A RegEx Puzzle Game
It's a word-puzzle game that incrementally teaches you how to use Regular Expressions (RegEx) to find & replace text. Some of the puzzles add silly restraints for you to work around, and the game has charming NPC coworkers that introduce each challenge.
Ah yes, a game that taunts me about my shitty regex-fu.
After a decade, I don't think I'll ever remember how to regex without a cheat sheet.
Never heard of it, and sounds awesome, regexes are the sort of things that need lots of practice to be good at, a game seems like a great way to keep the skill alive
