My lord.

If anyone's wondering what this looks like:

 +----------+
 |          |   Next:
 |          |    X    
 |          |    XX   
 |          |     X   
 |          |
 |          |   Score:0 
 |          |
 |       O  |  "w" or up - rotate
 |       OO |  "a" or left - left
 |        O |  "d" or right - right
 |          |  "s" or down - one step down
 |          |  "z" or space - drop down
 |          |
 |          |
 |          |
 |X         |
 |X         |
 |X   X     |
 |X  XXX    |
 +----------+

That is both amazing and sad .

The implementation is far more interesting than the end product.

Julia Jomantaite, you have my respect, and sympathies.

kind of like Brainfuck
then again, all of the intricacies of sed are pretty esoteric.

It's not working for me...

I get:

james@james-desktop:~/Desktop$ ./sedtris.sed

What version of sed are you guys using? I've got GNU sed version 4.1.5

 

[tim_m]

i had to change the shebang line to #!/bin/sed. check where sed is with `which sed`.

assuming that's not the problem, you do have to hit enter once before it starts as well as after each command (w/a/s/d/space). it's not realtime or anything since it pauses after each step but that's not really the point either

jimmyb, try:

spook@spooktop:~$ whereis sed
sed: /bin/sed /usr/share/man/man1/sed.1.gz

Then open up sedtris.sed, change the shebang line to whatever whereis reported.

You might also try a

chmod u+x sedtris.sed

before trying ./sedtris.sed
