A case against syntax highlighting

I found this post while I was preparing a rant against the seemingly random colouring of the editor I was using.

I find syntax colouring exactly no use at all. I can just about accept that comments should contrast somehow, being more prominent or less prominent, but in my ideal world they would be entirely separate, as for example in a markdown cell in a Jupyter notebook.

If you must colour something, highlight the keywords in SQL. In twenty odd years I've had problems owing to keywords used as identifiers—oh, I don't know—several times. Big woop.

And one more thing. It is a rare editor that even does syntax highlighting. They all seem to colour tokens on the basis they match keywords. So see my previous paragraph.

The reinterpreted version from 2024 is disturbing, appropriate, and absolutely brilliant!

I was looking at level 100 and above, and they were pretty mean. I hope I didn't suffocate your web server with generating them!

How fast is the solving algorithm, and how does it compare to that in the original paper which inspired you, and how quickly can it (your own algorithm) solve f.ex the typical level 100's on a given system?

No problem. =)

The solution is a bi-product of the puzzle generation algorithm, so it would take no additional time.

http://www.linusakesson.net/games/autosokoban/?v=1&seed=1371159436&level=100, this puzzle seems to be unsolvable, because the boxes on the left-top, left-middle and left-bottom competes for the target squares in the left-bottom. Is there any bugs? If not, hope you can provide a solution, thx :)

I was able to solve it just now. But it was a nice, tricky one. Good find!
