vi's all right ... when you know how to use it
would you like to see vi solve an ascii maze ?
i have a .shar file which has code and macros
which will do that

i use emacs as well as vi ... both sets of keys
and commands are different but the effects are
mostly the same ... it takes time to learn an
editor fully

maze.ansi.c
char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[80],T[3];main(C){for(M=J+E,*J=A=scanf("%d",&
C)            ;--            E;J             [E            ]=M
[E   ]=  E)   printf("._");  for(;(A-=Z=!Z)  ||  (printf("\n|"
)    ,   A    =              39              ,C             --
)    ;   Z    ||    printf   (T   ))T[Z]=Z[A-(E   =A[J-Z])&&!C
&    A   ==   M              [               A              ]
|6<<11<rand()||!C&!Z?J[M[E]=M[A]]=E,J[M[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}

That sounds /nearly/ as bad as sed Sokoban.

How does that monstr^W program work? I can't make it produce nontrivial mazes.

But on emacs we have M-x tetris.
and lots of other games as well.  No need to write them.

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

are the credits i have for the above
below are versions i have twiddled

char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[80],T[3];main(C){for(M=J+E,*J=A=scanf("%d",&
C)            ;--            E;J             [E            ]=M
[E   ]=  E)   printf("._");  for(;(A-=Z=!Z)  ||  (printf("\n|"
)    ,   A    =              39              ,C             --
)    ;   Z    ||    printf   (T   ))T[Z]=Z[A-(E   =A[J-Z])&&!C
&    A   ==   M              [               A              ]
|6<<27<rand()||!C&!Z?J[M[E]=M[A]]=E,J[M[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}

here is a version which does
at least ... it did just now using a bash shell with cygnus on win32
gcc -o maze maze.c
and 
this does 40 column

char*M,A,Z,E=20,J[40],T[3];main(C){for(M=J+E,*J=A=scanf("%d",&
C)            ;--            E;J             [E            ]=M
[E   ]=  E)   printf("._");  for(;(A-=Z=!Z)  ||  (printf("\n|"
)    ,   A    =              19              ,C             --
)    ;   Z    ||    printf   (T   ))T[Z]=Z[A-(E   =A[J-Z])&&!C
&    A   ==   M              [                A              ]
|6<<27<rand()||!C&!Z?J[M[E]=M[A]]=E,J[M[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}

compile with gcc -o maze40 maze40.c
when run waits for input
type 15 or whatever
i did not write any of the above code
i just twiddled a few values to make it
work on my machine here using generic
tools and platform
