This is a great, fun way to learn! Two points for improvement, in case the creators are reading:
1) It's not clear which flavour/implementation is needed. I was using https://regex101.com/ https://regex101.com/ to check until the puzzle where /+ is used, which that site claims is invalid in JS and PHP but OK in Python.
2) It would be great if filling a cell automatically moved you to an adjacent cell, as in most (regular) crossword apps.
- asicsp 7y agomentioned in about page [1] that Javascript regex flavor is used [1] https://regexcrossword.com/about https://regexcrossword.com/about
- lordgrenville 7y agoAh, I missed that. That really compounds the question though: I see that they explicitly recommend regex101, which claims that the clue is invalid JS regex
- asicsp 7y agoprobably they intended the user to choose JS on regex101 not sure about the question you hit a snag, can you post the details here? you might get your doubt cleared
- lordgrenville 7y agoOne of the clues on Beginner puzzle 4 is /+ Pasting that into regex101, with flavour Ecmascript, yields "Pattern Error" (rightly, since forward slashes enclose patterns, and thus need to be escaped).
- asicsp 7y agooh ok, got it and yeah, agree with you, this should either be escaped or some explanation added regarding delimiters
