 | Hallo,
how about writing a game?
A word-mixer or character scrambler ... (?)
There are many people out there who are very good in regex.
It would be possible to write the following game with regex.
It concerns reading. Reading a text we do not need to have the
characters in the right order. Only the first and last character have
to be right. We understand the text altough each word - except the
boundaries - is a chaos.
Example:
Do you understand this text?
"Vim voetd best txet etdoir aaign.
The Lnuix Joaurnl mnizgaae deos a Rdeares' Choice Aarwd ervey year.
For the fturoh time in a row Vim was sceteled the fativore txet
eidotr! Vi and colnes cmae socend, GNU Emacs tihrd. You can read this
and the resutls in other ctrgoeieas in the perss raeslee. (Barm
Maaneoolr)"
I think yes.
In nearly every word the row of characters is different from the
normal usage.
Only the first and last character is in the right place.
And we still understand the text.
Here is the original:
"Vim voted best text editor again.
The Linux Journal magazine does a Readers' Choice Award every year.
For the fourth time in a row Vim was selected the favorite text
editor! Vi and clones came second, GNU Emacs third. You can read this
and the results in other categories in the press release. (Bram
Moolenaar)"
Have a look at

Maybe someone wants to write this game. For psychological
experimentation, fun ...
I am not good enough in regex. But it could be possible.
Regards,
Klaus

what's that to do with vim?
my point: "%!program" suffices.
