Today’s exercise was Regular Chatbot which was an introduction to regular expressions. Years ago I was rather skittish around regular expressions. Thanks to time, practice and regex101.com, I am far more confident. Still they really should have gone over regular expression details. They kind of left the user hanging, and expected them to go find a resource. Bad form for something wanting to be on the more academic side of things. I only saw one person get the final part right as intended (plenty got it right in a more straightforward way).

So I finally got back to the Minesweeper game. This time I wired up the win and lose game states. I still need to let you save a high score, look at high scores, and show the help pages. Finally I want this to be able to work without the services. I think I am nearly done.
