Game summary

Copy Editor is a RegEx tutor within a puzzle game. Regular Expressions are used in computer science and language theory. RegEx patterns direct search operations and manage text. Novices and experienced programmers will enjoy the challenge of creating progressively more complex strings. In Copy Editor, review famous works and make changes to the text building on new Regular Expressions with each level. Use characters, scripts, and sequences to align your “Input” with the “Objective.” Begin the game with a few expressions and gather skills in combining operations. A fake Chat Box provides hints along the way. The Chat gives you additional options to select your level, find RegExp tips, and access Help if you are completely baffled. Copy Editor includes RegEx Help, linked to the open source “regular expressions 101” in GitHub. Whether you are new to using Regular Expressions or want to test your proficiency, Copy Editor promises a fun and challenging puzzle experience.

Play Copy Editor on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Copy Editor on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Copy Editor installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Copy Editor like you would on any PC.
