16 A real working model. See it walk the maze in front of your very own eyes.

|
|
18 To prove that you can do anything in vi, I wrote a couple of macros that
|
|
|
19 allows vi to solve mazes. It will solve any maze produced by maze.c
|
|
|
20 that was posted to the alt.sources last month. (Maze.c is also included
|
|
|
21 in this posting as well as an example of its output.)
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 The uncommented version of the macros was sent to alt.sources last month.
|
|
|
24 However, so many people mailed me requesting the commented version of the
|
|
|
25 macros that I decided to post it. I have made some modifications to the
|
|
|
26 original macros to make them easier to follow and also after I learnt
|
|
|
27 that you can escape the special meaning of '|' in macros by using '^V|'.
|

|
|
29 Save this article and unshar it. Then read maze.README.

31 After studying these macros, anyone who cannot write an emacs emulator
|
|
|
32 in vi macros should just curl up and :q!.

|
34 Coming soon to a newsgroup near you: "Vi macros solve Tower of Hanoi",
|
|
|
35 and a repost of the original "Turing Machine implemented in Vi macros"
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 Anyone who has a version of these macros for edlin or nroff, please post.
