This filesystem is written in the Limbo programming language for the Inferno operating system.
The purgatorio fork of Inferno is recommended.
No other dependencies are required if Inferno is installed.
mk
mk demo
usage: tttfs [-Dr] [-u user] [-w width]
-D enables debug logging and tracing via styx(2).
-r sets raw mode to on by default.
-u sets user as the owner of the fs tree.
-w sets the width of the game board, which is a square.
Commands are written to the /ctl file in the fs.
x|o X Y
x or o is exclusive and indicates whether to place an x piece or an o piece.
X indicates the X-coordinate on the board.
Y indicates the Y-coordinate on the board.
new
Starts a new game, keeping score if the current game has ended naturally.
rawon
Sets the board to raw mode, that is, the printing will not include the visual grid as to allow easier automated parsing.
rawoff
Unsets the raw mode for the board. Non-raw mode is the default behavior of the board file.
/ctl -- command input, or, control, file
/board -- the current board state
/no -- current game number, the first game is 1
/score -- current game score
If you're used to how Plan 9 provides file servers as per postmountsrv(2) and friends, the operation of Inferno file servers may be unintuitive.
In Inferno, a styx(2) file server listens on stdin and if run from the shell directly, will seem to just hang. There are several approaches to making the server accessible, in this case, we use mount(1) to place our file server in an intuitive location.
From inside Inferno:
; mount {mntgen} /n # Not necessary under purgatorio
; mount {tttfs} /n/ttt
; lc /n/ttt
board ctl no score
; cat /n/ttt/board
│ │

; echo x 0 0 > /n/ttt/ctl
; cat /n/ttt/board
x│ │

─────
│ │
; echo o 1 1 > /n/ttt/ctl
; cat /n/ttt/board
x│ │
─────
│o│

;
To host the service over the network and use from plan9port:
; mount {mntgen} /n # Not necessary under purgatorio
; mount {ttfs} /n/ttt
; listen -A 'tcp!*!1337' { export /n/ttt & }
$ 9p -a 'tcp!localhost!1337' read board

$ echo x 0 0 | 9p -a 'tcp!localhost!1337' write
$ 9p -a 'tcp!localhost!1337' read board

You could also easily connect to the server from Linux, etc. with:
- 9pfuse
- 9mount
- mount
- wmiir
