Challenge #250: Give Me A Sign

[kelly_gilbert]

It has been so much fun looking over all of the different solutions! Since I submitted the original challenge, I had to add a little extra challenge by adding a message preview in the output.

Main workflow:

Check fit/line length:

Create the preview:

I couldn't figure out how to pass some of the emoji characters (like the cake) through the reporting tools, so I ended up replacing the them with a circle in the preview.

I made an analytic app that will allow the user to enter their message and have the app check for fit (it only checks total fit, not line fit).

This was a great challenge to flex those tokenize muscles!   Happy challenge number 250!   Thanks for this one @kelly_gilbert

The recipe:
- Change the emoticons to a single character that you can count (e.g. replace [heart] with ')' or any character that is not otherwise used - makes parsing easier)
- Replace all 9s with 6s; and all 0 with O
- Tokenize into single characters and summarise by character
- Lookup available count vs. current count
- Use two different threads of reporting tools depending on whether there are any tiles missing.

Catching up on challenges.  My workflow is more complex than just solving the challenge as I was working through additional error checking for other invalid characters.

I need one of these marquee signs, @kelly_gilbert!! Thanks for the super fun challenge! 🙂

I took the slightly more difficult route of also limiting to 8 characters/symbols per row, and including some error trapping in the initial app if too many characters (or invalid characters) are used.
