" These macros 'solve' any maze produced by the a-maze-ing maze.c program.
"
" First, a bit of maze theory.
" If you were put into a maze, a guaranteed method of finding your way
" out of the maze is to put your left hand onto a wall and just keep walking,
" never taking your hand off the wall. This technique is only guaranteed to
" work if the maze does not have any 'islands', or if the 'exit' is on the
" same island as your starting point. These conditions hold for the mazes
" under consideration.
"
" Assuming that the maze is made up of horizontal and vertical walls spaced
" one step apart and that you can move either north, south, east or west,
" then you can automate this procedure by carrying out the following steps.
"
" 1. Put yourself somewhere in the maze near a wall.
" 2. Check if you have a wall on your left. If so, go to step 4.
" 3. There is no wall on your left, so turn on the spot to your left and step
" forward by one step and repeat step 2.
" 4. Check what is directly in front of you. If it is a wall, turn on the
" spot to your right by 90 degrees and repeat step 4.
" 5. There is no wall in front of you, so step forward one step and
" go to step 2.
"
" In this way you will cover all the corridors of the maze (until you get back
" to where you started from, if you do not stop).
"
" By examining a maze produced by the maze.c program you will see that
" each square of the maze is one character high and two characters wide.
" To go north or south, you move by a one character step, but to move east or
" west you move by a two character step. Also note that in any position
" there are four places where walls could be put - to the north, to the south,
" to the east and to the west.
" A wall exists to the north of you if the character to the north of
" you is a _ (otherwise it is a space).
" A wall exists to the east of you if the character to the east of you
" is a | (otherwise it is a .).
" A wall exists to the west of you if the character to the west of you
" is a | (otherwise it is a .).
" A wall exists to the south of you if the character where you are
" is a _ (otherwise it is a space).
"
" Note the difference for direction south, where we must examine the character
" where the cursor is rather than an adjacent cell.
"
" If you were implementing the above procedure is a normal computer language
" you could use a loop with if statements and continue statements,
" However, these constructs are not available in vi macros so I have used
" a state machine with 8 states. Each state signifies the direction you
" are going in and whether or not you have checked if there is a wall on
" your left.
"
" The transition from state to state and the actions taken on each transition
" are given in the state table below.
" The names of the states are N1, N2, S1, S2, E1, E2, W1, W2, where each letter
" stands for a direction of the compass, the number 1 indicates that the we
" have not yet checked to see if there is a wall on our left and the number 2
" indicates that we have checked and there is a wall on our left.
"
" For each state we must consider the existence or not of a wall in a
" particular direction. This direction is given in the following table.
"
" NextChar table:
" state direction vi commands
" N1 W hF
" N2 N kF
" S1 E lF
" S2 S F
" E1 N kF
" E2 E lF
" W1 S F
" W2 W hF
"
" where F is a macro which yanks the character under the cursor into
" the NextChar register (n).
"
" State table:
" In the 'vi commands' column is given the actions to carry out when in
" this state and the NextChar is as given. The commands k, j, ll, hh move
" the current position north, south, east and west respectively. The
" command mm is used as a no-op command.
" In the 'next state' column is given the new state of the machine after
" the action is carried out.
"
" current state NextChar vi commands next state
" N1 . hh W1
" N1 | mm N2
" N2 _ mm E1
" N2 space k N1
" S1 . ll E1
" S1 | mm S2
" S2 _ mm W1
" S2 space j S1
" E1 space k N1
" E1 _ mm E2
" E2 | mm S1
" E2 . ll E1
" W1 space j S1
" W1 _ mm W2
" W2 | mm N1
" W2 . hh W1
"
"
" Complaint about vi macros:
" It seems that you cannot have more than one 'undo-able' vi command
" in the one macro, so you have to make lots of little macros and
" put them together.
"
" I'll explain what I mean by an example. Edit a file and
" type ':map Q rXY'. This should map the Q key to 'replace the
" character under the cursor with X and yank the line'.
" But when I type Q, vi tells me 'Can't yank inside global/macro' and
" goes into ex mode. However if I type ':map Q rXT' and ':map T Y',
" everything is OK. I`m doing all this on a Sparcstation.
" If anyone reading this has an answer to this problem, the author would
" love to find out. Mail to gregm@otc.otca.oz.au.
"
" The macros:
" The macro to run the maze solver is 'g'. This simply calls two other
" macros: I, to initialise everything, and L, to loop forever running
" through the state table.
" Both of these macros are long sequences of calls to other macros. All
" of these other macros are quite simple and so to understand how this
" works, all you need to do is examine macros I and L and learn what they
" do (a simple sequence of vi actions) and how L loops (by calling U, which
" simply calls L again).
"
" Macro I sets up the state table and NextChar table at the end of the file.
" Macro L then searches these tables to find out what actions to perform and
" what state changes to make.
"
" The entries in the state table all begin with a key consisting of the
" letter 's', the current state and the NextChar. After this is the
" action to take in this state and after this is the next state to change to.
"
" The entries in the NextChar table begin with a key consisting of the
" letter 'n' and the current state. After this is the action to take to
" obtain NextChar - the character that must be examined to change state.
"
" One way to see what each part of the macros is doing is to type in the
" body of the macros I and L manually (instead of typing 'g') and see
" what happens at each step.
"
" Good luck.
"
" Registers used by the macros:
" s (State) - holds the state the machine is in
" c (Char) - holds the character under the current position
" m (Macro) - holds a vi command string to be executed later
" n (NextChar) - holds the character we must examine to change state
" r (Second Macro) - holds a second vi command string to be executed later
