title = "Regex parser II: Teaching regular expression fundamentals via educational gaming",
abstract = "We present an educational game that is expected to improve the teaching of and stimulate the interest in regular expressions. The game generates regular expressions using pseudo-random numbers and predefined templates and asks the player to provide strings that are in the language corresponding to the given regular expression while a timer counts down. Points in the game are awarded on how many strings the player was able to enter before time runs out (The game, which requires the JRE, is available via http://bit.ly/RegexParserII).",
