I made a regex visualizer/debugger which lets you visually understand the finite state machine representation of a regular expression And added gratuitous explosions and particle effects of course Made with Zig + sokol
largely distracting - but being able to step through it in a cleaner way would be nice
For when you need to debug a regex but also need a little hit of dopamine.
Awesome. Does it work with more complex regexes or blow up quick?
If it can compare regex as sets of values, I will insta-merge @arktypeio🙏 github.com/arktypeio/arkt…
hooray! claude fails to vibe code this. human wins!
Regex with explosions? Finally, some justice. Waiting on the VIM keybinding visualizer with boss fight mode.
I’m not sure what you use as a backend, but a power move would be running “use re ‘debug’;” from Perl in a sandbox. That tool was powerful enough to debug extended regexes generating their own code in runtime. I used it to homebrew a polysaccharide substructure matcher.
Satisfying effects and sounds will distinguish apps in the age of llm slop
Can it visualize the entire execution of a TextMate grammar highlighting a file? Can I make it play in the statusbar of VSCode like some sort of unbelievably autistic winamp plugin?
oh, so regex' are implemented via state machines! Didn't know that, thank you
