[MonoDevelop] I want to run a c program on Prisoner's Dilemma in Mono - build report

[Rajib Bandopadhyay]

I contacted the original writer of the said codes, Prof.Alexander M
Kasprzyk, of the Imperial College, London. He says:
"..The code is written for Classic Mac OS -- this is the operating
system predating OS X, and will not run on any modern hardware. This
is explained quite clearly on the webpage. You will not be able to run
it "as-is" on any modern computer.
"But the code is only a few tens of lines long, and it is a beginner's
exercise in C programming to port it to the operating system of your
choice. There is, at most, an hour of work involved..."
Can someone with sufficient knowledge of c programming help me please?
Regards
