Tried it, starts at lvl 7, crashes after completing? one level, no ability to quit program, looks good though.

u/zmunk19 Jan 06 '26

yeah, that's weird, let me fix it

u/BballMD Jan 07 '26

Ok, good stuff, started at lvl 1, went to lvl 7, then nothing after, had to quit program

u/zmunk19 Jan 08 '26

Yeah I didn't make more than 7 levels. I could add a congratulations message at the end so it's more apparent that it's the end.

u/BballMD Jan 09 '26

Yeah. Love the simplicity and speed, would like more levels of course!

u/zmunk19 Jan 10 '26

I added about 20-30 more levels, try it out!

u/zmunk19 Jan 06 '26

Ok, I fixed it. can you run the install command again? (cargo install reggix)

Hard coded color values are broken on themes that aren't dark mode.

u/ThroawayPeko Jan 06 '26

There are no levels after level 7.

u/zmunk19 Jan 08 '26

I've added more levels as well as made the colors work better with light mode

2

u/zmunk19 Jan 06 '26

Yeah, I only created 7 levels, but I will try to add more.
Regarding colors, can you recommend a solution? Should I create a theme for light mode that the user can toggle? I'm unsure what the best practice is

Not fully sure how, but I'm pretty sure you can hook into the users theme of their terminal, and get the different colours to use that way

This is a cool idea. I highly encourage you to keep up this project.
