U.D. Mac OS
ASCII text files can contain different forms of newlines, dependingon which operating system is being used. Converting between these formatsis often necessary if you use several operating systems. The flip programwill convert the newlines to any format given in the table below:
Operating System | Newline Character(s) |
Microsoft Windows / MS-DOS | 0Dh0Ah |
Apple Macintosh OS 9 and earlier | 0Dh |
Unix (e.g., Linux), also Apple OS X and higher | 0Ah |
Unix and Macintosh text files use one character to indicate a newline of text. The character which is used in Unix can be representedas the hexadecimal number 0x0a (decimal number: 10) which youcan see on a Unix computer if you run a file through the od command,e.g.: od -h flip.cpp , which displays the bytes in thefile as hexadecimal numbers. Older Macs use 0x0d instead of0x0a. '0x' is a marker in C programming to indicatea hexadecimal number.
U.d. Mac Os X
IntelliJ/ IntelliJ (OSX)— this keymap is recommended for users who have experience with IntelliJ IDEA or some of the JetBrains IntelliJ-platform-based IDEs and who preferred to use the 'Default'/'Mac OS X 10.5+' keymap there. I have a late 2018 Mac Mini, and really like the machine. It performs very well. I don't have many tabs open while I am using the machine, but the times it gets somewhat hot are when I use 1) Tech Tool Pro and Onyx to perform disk cleanup, maintenance, and (rarely ever happens) repairs, and 2) SuperDuper! For my backups (I make 2 of them each week to two separate external SSDs, with Samsung. The RasterOps 24L is a 12' NuBus card compatible with 68K- and PowerPC-based Macs (although RasterOps claims it doesn't support PPC) running up to Mac OS 8.1. It may be compatible with higher versions of the Mac OS but no information for Mac OS 8.5-8.6 is available at this time, and it's doubtful that the card is compatible with Mac OS 9. Mac OS X Touchscreen Support To active touchscreen functions this driver is required for using the Mimo UM-760R with a Macintosh computer (Intel-based only). The one-time purchase of $35 enables basic touch functions, in addition to gestures such as rotate, swipes, pinch, magnify, and two-finger scroll.
On the other hand for MS-DOS based computers, a new line of text is specified by two characters: 0x0d followed by 0x0a which function similar to a typewriter: one characteradvances the paper one line (linefeed) and the other charactermoves the current positon to the beginning of the line (carriagereturn).
If you edit a MS-DOS ASCII file in Unix you will often see the characters ^M at the end of the line. This is the extra character 0x0d that is used to indicate a new line of text in MS-DOS. More recent versions of vi and emacs automatically detect the newline style of the file and will use that style when editing the file, keeping the newlines consistent.
Many Windows 95 programs can recognize Unix text file newlines, so it is usually not too much problem going the other way by using Unix text files in MS-DOS.
If you edit a Mac-style text file in Unix (depending on the editor), you will see the entire file on a single line with ^M characters displayed instead of newlines.
The flip command will convert between each of these types of newline formats. Here is the usage statement for the program:If you want to see what format a file is in, type flip -tfilename and the program will return its analysis of the file. If the file has a mixture of methods for new lines, thenthe flip program will assign it to be a MS-DOS ASCII file. Analyzing or changing binary files (such as executable programs orsound or picture files) with the flip program does not make sense,since there may be 0x0a and 0x0d bytes in the filewhich are not intended to be new lines. However, the flip program might be able to reverse the damage if you ftp a binary fileaccidentally as an ascii file.
The flip program will overwrite the old version of a file with thespecified format although the -t will not write anythingsince that option is used only to determine the type of the file.
- View the source file for the program: flip.cpp (The header comments in the program explain other methods ofconverting between newline styles).
- download binary for:
- Mac OS X (10.4 and later, 32/64 bit universal binary)
- Compiled in NeXTStep (fat) (old version)
- On Macintosh OSX computers, you can use a flip-based application created byChristoph Dalitz which is calledConvertNewlines [zip file]The program allows switching between newline styles by dropping files into the application.
This is a rebuild of Multi User Dungeon for two players . It can be played on either Mac OS or Linux. I made it for Enter the (Multi-User) Dungeon Game Jam, because the theme is one room, so there are only one room in the game. The game is written in Python therefore you need python installed to play(Should be preinstalled on all OS) The code is messy(I am a student) so try not to look at it too much(I spell enemy to enemie).
TO PLAY AGAINST YOURSELF, just open a terminal windows and type python3 pathtofile.py then type nothing for the IP address and type yes for hosting. Open another terminal window and type python3 pathtofile.py, then press enter twice. You should now be able to play on one device(I tried this on my Mac).
TO TEST THE GAME IN SINGLE PLAYER comment receiver() and sender() in the while loop at the bottom. (still type yes for hosting).
The goal of the game is to kill all the monsters in all five levels and who ever gets the highest point wins, & gives you score, U gives you health, B and O are monsters.
!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!! (I am sorry but there are MANY Bugs and problems, I will fix them in the future :( )
Bugs and things I haven't got time to do:
1. When player one is versing an enemy, don't go there otherwise the you will have to verse the enemy as well.

2. Don't walk toooooo fast otherwise you will find yourself in a very bad situation
3. The way I programmed it is probably not too efficient so the game is a bit slow and lags a bit.
Have Fun.

Only type 'yes' if you are hosting the game(You have to type the word 'yes')
(Can't play with capital lock on)
w,a,s,d to move around, left and right arrow to choose command and space to run command.
