Every vibe coded site is too dark and the text is too small.
I could envision the style even before clicking on the site.
Maybe because it 1337 hackerman-style, or something.
This is fair, although I ask for it to be dark themed to match what I think was the style of typing game I remember growing up with (it's been a while). Bumped up the font though.
Next time please ask it to respect system dark/light mode preference, it's trivial to do, especially for an LLM which can spin up light/dark alternatives easily.
My top complaint is that if I've successfully used a pattern, I want my text removed. I keep forgetting to backspace a bunch, then get frustrated that my pattern isn't working.<p>Other than that, great game!
And all the text is grey-on-grey and basically unreadable. Not to even mention accessibility.
They all have this rounded box design as well. I wonder where that came from, I don't think it was a predominant style before.
Every vibecoded site have this same dark look with shining hue-gradient borders, can't wait for the future the entire web be filled with this generic look
What evidence do you have that this is vibe coded?
Nice game!<p>We made a similar game several years ago for the Pyweek game competition, but there wasn't the fun "letter invaders" style that this one has.<p><a href="https://pyweek.org/e/RegExExpress/" rel="nofollow">https://pyweek.org/e/RegExExpress/</a><p>I really like your implementation!<p>Might be good to limit some of the special operators to give more focus -- otherwise the early levels are a bit too solvable with ".*"
Wow really cool! Genuinely fun, and educational at the same time.<p>One usability request: after firing a regex, could the text box be cleared? It's not hard to hit Ctrl+A and start typing again, but it does add a bit of friction. (I can send a PR)
I don't understand the first "combat" level. There's no real defining pattern separating the good from bad hex strings, so it's just a typing speed contest to type all the enemy patterns, right? What am I missing?

I wish it wasn't time-limited...
I cant even read this because most of the text is outside my phones viewport. Please test your stuff before posting it here.
This looks like something I would vibe code with Google's Gemini. Interesting concept.
This is really funny ;D Gives Tetris vibes and is executed beautifully.
Fun interactive game!
Cool idea! I shall give it a try :)
TL;DR: I think you should still learn regex, even though AI has made it a "useless" skill<p><a href="https://mdp.github.io/2026/03/17/the-kids-are-alright-and-theyll-probably-still-learn-regex.html" rel="nofollow">https://mdp.github.io/2026/03/17/the-kids-are-alright-and-th...</a>
Not so useless. In my experience LLMs are about 50/50 on making a regex that actually works and covers the cases you asked it for. Even less when you get into cases needing advanced features like backreferences and lookahead.
A little bit early to tell.<p>Let’s wait how affordable, available and good AI is when the companies turn to profit maximization and enshittification begins
