A real working model. See it walk the maze in front of your very own eyes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To prove that you can do anything in vi, I wrote a couple of macros that
|
||
|
|
allows vi to solve mazes. It will solve any maze produced by maze.c
|
||
|
|
that was posted to the alt.sources last month. (Maze.c is also included
|
||
|
|
in this posting as well as an example of its output.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The uncommented version of the macros was sent to alt.sources last month.
|
||
|
|
However, so many people mailed me requesting the commented version of the
|
||
|
|
macros that I decided to post it. I have made some modifications to the
|
||
|
|
original macros to make them easier to follow and also after I learnt
|
||
|
|
that you can escape the special meaning of '|' in macros by using '^V|'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Save this article and unshar it. Then read maze.README.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After studying these macros, anyone who cannot write an emacs emulator
|
||
|
|
in vi macros should just curl up and :q!.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Coming soon to a newsgroup near you: "Vi macros solve Tower of Hanoi",
|
||
|
|
and a repost of the original "Turing Machine implemented in Vi macros"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone who has a version of these macros for edlin or nroff, please post.
