| To run the maze macros with Vim: |
| |
| vim -u maze_mac maze_5.78 |
| press "g" |
| |
| The "-u maze.mac" loads the maze macros and skips loading your .vimrc, which |
| may contain settings and mappings that get in the way. |
| |
| |
| The original README: |
| |
| 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 net recently. |
| |
| Just follow this recipe and SEE FOR YOURSELF. |
| 1. run uudecode on the file "maze.vi.macros.uu" to |
| produce the file "maze.vi.macros" |
| (If you can't wait to see the action, jump to step 4) |
| 2. compile maze.c with "cc -o maze maze.c" |
| 3. run maze > maze.out and input a small number (for example 10 if |
| you are on a fast machine, 3-5 if slow) which |
| is the size of the maze to produce |
| 4. edit the maze (vi maze.out) |
| 5. include the macros with the vi command: |
| :so maze.vi.macros |
| 6. type the letter "g" (for "go") and watch vi solve the maze |
| 7. when vi solves the maze, you will see why it lies |
| 8. now look at maze.vi.macros and all will be revealed |
| |
| Tested on a sparc, a sun and a pyramid (although maze.c will not compile |
| on the pyramid). |
| |
| Anyone who can't get the maze.c file to compile, get a new compiler, |
| try maze.ansi.c which was also posted to the net. |
| If you can get it to compile but the maze comes out looking like a fence |
| and not a maze and you are using SysV or DOS replace the "27" on the |
| last line of maze.c by "11" |
