If you get it working, can I have a copy?

Dij won't even let me near a copy of his API, much less the documentation ...

With the cat resting on your lap, I have to assume it was a REST API...

I'm really hoping your cat is WiFi ... I can't find any USB connectors on mine, and I don't think he'd appreciate me trying to plug him in.

Shouldn't that be Wi-Fe (Wireless Feline)?

Now why would anybody want a script like that???
You should learn to prioritize. A cat on your lap automatically superseeds any other priorities...

If they did have an API, don't you think that the mice would have hacked them by now?

Dij is far too busy hacking (and slashing) the mice ...

I gave up on trying to get our cat to do anything, when I was 12 yrs. old.
Of course, I did not have a computer, nor did I know how to write programs at the time.

I dreamed my cat left me a present ... but it was only a dream. Whew.

You need a mouse to do this.

I guess your cat became a laptop... Like someone said, CatScript.

Isn't this exactly what Scratch was built for?
Or maybe I'm thinking of Claw.
Either way, will probably end horribly.

You are aware that the algorithm for getting a cat to move of its own volition is classified as NP-hard[^]?

I even have a partial implementation:

I decided to start shoring up the regular expression syntax I use, and settling on something I can more readily document and hopefully mimics what's already out there because I don't want people to have to learn new things just to use my engine.
This is a lot harder than it sounds. For starters most modern engines do backtracking, trading speed and simplicity for expressive power. Mine is simple and fast, but lacks some of the expressive power, which at the end of the day means I can't support certain language constructs - because they require backtracking which my engine doesn't do.
I'm not looking to change that, particularly when my engines are as much as 3 times as fast as Microsoft's .NET regex, and can readily be used for tokenization as a result.
But this leaves me with something of a conundrum.
There are 3 or 4 major regex syntax varieties out there. POSIX, Perl, JS, .NET etc.
I've started with POSIX historically, because it actually means I can use it with certain tools I use - things like FLEX use a POSIXish syntax.
I think I'd like to continue that, but I've noticed, I don't actually need that much POSIX specific nonsense to support almost all FLEX inputs in practice.
I hope I haven't lost or bored you yet. Bear with me.
I'm loathe to add to the syntax nightmare that is regex, so I want to be very careful here.
I'd rather not support multiple "modes" to support different syntax styles like .NET's engine does.
However, I'm thinking of, as much as possible, creating "one syntax to rule them all" as much as I can, such that I can accept constructs allowable in any engine, where possible.
One part of me wants to strangle the other part of me in my sleep for even considering this. /s
The other part of me wonders what the alternative to this mega-syntax is.
90% of this has to do with what is allowed to appear inside [] braces.
Any ideas?
