YourEx is a sci-fi themed interactive regex adventure for Visual Studio Code. Solve regex puzzles by crafting prompts for AI (or writing regex directly), unlock achievements, and explore a futuristic codex—all within your editor.
- Each level presents a sci-fi story scenario and a regex challenge.
- Write a prompt to instruct the AI to generate the correct regex — or type the regex directly.
- The regex is evaluated against test data; match the expected lines to pass.
- Progress through 6 chapters (26 levels) of increasing difficulty.
- Between chapters, enjoy animated story interludes that advance the narrative.
- Complete all levels to earn your Journey Certificate.
- VS Code installed
- GitHub Copilot account available in VS Code (optional — needed only if you use prompt mode instead of writing regex directly)
- Install "YourEx Game" from the VS Code Extension Marketplace.
- Click the "YourEx Game" icon in the left Activity Bar — the game starts.
- If you choose to write prompts instead of regex, the extension will request GitHub Copilot access.
