Robotfindskitten Mac OS
Robotfindskitten is a ' Zen simulation', originally written by Leonard Richardson for MS-DOS. It is a free video game with an ASCII interface in which the user (playing the eponymous robot and represented by a number sign ' # ') must find kitten (represented by a random character) on a field of other random characters. There are a number of third-party maintained lists of open-source Android applications, including: Android Open Source resources and software database; F-Droid Repository of free and open-source Android software; PRISM Break – curated list of security focused open-source alternatives to mitigate some threats of PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora. Sorbet on macOS 10.14.6 - Homebrew build logs. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets. Outside the Mac world, I have seen thousands of '.img' files of diskettes for various computer games like the PC-88, X1, FM-7 etc. That used that extension, meaning not all '.img' files will have resource forks or be Mac-exclusive. Take ISOs or Toast files, for example: they require no further wrapping (they themselves do the wrapping job).
These key combinations apply only to Mac computers with an Intel processor, not Mac computers with Apple silicon.
To use any of these key combinations, press and hold the keys immediately after pressing the power button to turn on your Mac, or after your Mac begins to restart. Keep holding until the described behavior occurs.
- Command (⌘)-R: Start up from the built-in macOS Recovery system. Or use Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet. macOS Recovery installs different versions of macOS, depending on the key combination you use while starting up. If your Mac is using a firmware password, you're prompted to enter the password.
- Option (⌥) or Alt: Start up to Startup Manager, which allows you to choose other available startup disks or volumes. If your Mac is using a firmware password, you're prompted to enter the password.
- Option-Command-P-R:Reset NVRAM or PRAM. If your Mac is using a firmware password, it ignores this key combination or starts up from macOS Recovery.
- Shift (⇧): Start up in safe mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.
- D: Start up to the Apple Diagnostics utility. Or use Option-Dto start up to this utility over the Internet. Disabled when using a firmware password.
- N: Start up from a NetBoot server, if your Mac supports network startup volumes. To use the default boot image on the server, hold down Option-N instead. Disabled when using a firmware password.
- Command-S: Start up in single-user mode. Disabled in macOS Mojave or later, or when using a firmware password.
- T: Start up in target disk mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.
- Command-V: Start up in verbose mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.
- Eject (⏏) or F12 or mouse button or trackpad button: Eject removable media, such as an optical disc. Disabled when using a firmware password.
If a key combination doesn't work
If a key combination doesn't work at startup, one of these solutions might help:
- Press and hold all keys in the combination together, not one at a time.
- Shut down your Mac. Then press the power button to turn on your Mac. Then press and hold the keys as your Mac starts up.
- Wait a few seconds before pressing the keys, to give your Mac more time to recognize the keyboard as it starts up. Some keyboards have a light that flashes briefly at startup, indicating that the keyboard is recognized and ready for use.
- If you're using a wireless keyboard, plug it into your Mac, if possible. Or use your built-in keyboard or a wired keyboard. If you're using a keyboard made for a PC, such as a keyboard with a Windows logo, try a keyboard made for Mac.
- If you're using Boot Camp to start up from Microsoft Windows, set Startup Disk preferences to start up from macOS instead. Then shut down or restart and try again.
Remember that some key combinations are disabled when your Mac is using a firmware password.

Way to go, robot! You found...
My name is Leonard and I am the world's biggest robotfindskittenfan!! I made this page to show off my rfk hacks and my love for allthings robotfindskitten. I hope you like my little piece of thekitten-finding web.
robotfindspython!
I wrote a version of robotfindskitten in my favoriteprogramming language, Python!Downloadit now--it's awesome! Note: this requires a Unix system such asLinux.
robotfindskitten - The Card Game!
robotfindskitten is now a card game! Can you believe it? Print and play!
Non-Kitten Item Mania!
My Python version of robotfindskitten lets you read non-kittenitems (NKIs) in from files. You can have lots of fun mixing andmatching quotes from different sources, or just running it on textfiles to see random lines from the files. Here are some files full ofNKIs to get you started.
- Vanilla NKIs, the same ones thatcome with both POSIX and Python robotfindskitten. Use this with otherNKI files to mix in the 'canonical' NKIs with your custom ones.
- Original NKIs from the very firstDOS version, way back in 1997.
- Nethack NKIs taken from the listsof fortune cookies. (I hope the Nethack people don't mind)
- Send me your lists of non-kitten items (leonardr at segfault dotorg--no spam, please!) and I'll put them up here!
Version collector
One of the best things about robotfindskitten is the number ofdifferent versions of it, for different platforms and in differentlanguages. I'm keeping track of all the different versionsI've played.
- The original DOS version
- POSIX C (the original and the new one)
- POSIX C with MegaHyperDeath patch
- Inform
- OpenGL
- PHP
- Java applet
- CGI
- Python (of course!)
- Nintendo DS
- ...more to come!
How many have you played?
Me with the dev team!
In 2001 I had the good fortune to meet some of the robotfindskittendev team. Here's a picture of me withPete Peterson II (pedro) and of me with Nick Moffitt(crackmonkey, left in back and some other rfk fans). A couple yearslater I also met SeanNeakums (sneakums) at a party. I've also met Dave Griffith, who wrote the Inform version of robotfindskitten. We're both from the same town! How wild is that?
robotfindskitten 2
Exclusive to The Ultimate robotfindskitten Fan Site! Anextremely goofy, never released sequel to robotfindskitten from 1999called 'robotfindskitten 2: This time it's personal!'. I put it uphere because the page it was on got all redesigned. Here's the olddescription from that page:
'If you found robotfindskitten just a little too relaxing, if you cravea revival of the glory days of ANSI blood-and-guts, then have I got adeal for you! At great expense, I have written the definitive sequelto robotfindskitten, taking out all the funny messages and bizarreobjects and replacing all that hoity-toity kitten-finding nonsensewith a simple goal: kill or be killed!Mac Os Versions
'This is actually intended more as a framework for building your ownlittle ANSI game, than as an actual game. There's no makefile oranything, but it's got a doubly-linked-list implementation and decentexamples of malloc() usage and function pointers (I wrote rfk2 mainlyto overcome my fear of malloc() and function pointers), so you mightfind it useful.'
