Description

A single-player game.


Instructions

There are a few known infelicities; normally there would be an initial
message, or at least a title, but there is nothing. Some verbs are
parsed by testing only the first letter. There are zero ending
conditions: to quit, use cntrl-c or ctrl-d. The literary reference is
heavy-handed.

To run on the unix command line:
chmod +x void.sed;./void.sed
alternatively, sed -f void.sed

This may require gnu sed.

Won't run!

I've tried it on two systems and I get the same error for both when I run sed -f void.sed:

sed: file void.sed line 1: unknown command: `▒'

It looks like there's a BOM at the beginning of the file messing things up.

I did a copy and paste from the source code and it ran.

But I don't get it.

I sent it from a handheld

I sent it from a handheld device; apparently it was "invisibly" marking my files, grr...

Sorry.

posted new void.zip

Just now, I copied the source into a file on my linux box, made sure that the new file was executable, and then compressed and uploaded it.

If you unzip the archive to produce void.sed, it should work OK.
