Character limits make the game too monotonous #23

Closed betsythefc closed 7 years ago

betsythefc commented 8 years ago

example: Match: x yuh Don't match: tui op Solution: x|yuh

Because of the character limit, I cannot use some longer, more ingenious solutions, instead I am stuck using "x|yuh" for almost all the solution.

Interestingly enough you are suggesting the opposite solution that was mentioned in issues like #3 and #4, while trying to solve the same problem~

One part of the problem is that on lower levels, there aren't many creative solutions (although In your case you could have used .(.h)?), and raising the char limit would make the game too easy.

On the other hand, I hope this issue will be partially solved when REDB (Regular Expression Database) from #18 is finally implemented (I am still working on in ._.).

That being said, the maths behind the game also prevents you from leveling up if you use this "cheat" - which in turn either keeps you on the boring levels or even lowers it. Could you tell me on what level you were when you submitted this bug?

Hello Phillip,

I am on level 3.

I also am not the beat at RegEx and am just learning.

Thanks, Bryce

It's not really a fix, but when you get to level 8-9, it gets more interesting~
