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


stop stealing my ideas !!!!!!


pretty! time for cfg...


great idea


largely distracting - but being able to step through it in a cleaner way would be nice


ill add an option to toggle “boring mode” on


access wen!!!


on sale now for $42.069


Looks so cool ! Which lang. did you write the shaders in ?


sokol flavored glsl


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?


how does it visualize {32,}


wonder what this looks like with catastrophic backtracking


this guy gets juice it or lose it


legend


this guy


that's insane


That’s actually so cool


let's do (?: and (?!


Ugh why can't AP Lit be like this


Yeesh


that's really cool


super cool way to animate regexp fsms


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
