Floppy disks

I recently found in an enourmeous mineshaft with dungeons some floppy disks ("LuaIDE" and "goldrunner"). I'd like to use them on my computer using a disk driver, but I don't know how to use the programme on my computer. May I have some help?

I'd like to know how to run a floppy disk's program, because when I placed the disk driver next to the computer, insert the floppy disk and try to run the program, it does nothing. Can I have some help?

Place a computer with a disk drive directly beside it. Put the disk in the disk drive.

Activate the computer and type:

cd disk
ls

This will give you a read-out of the files on the disk. Typing the name of one of the displayed files (odds are there'll only be one per disk) will attempt to run that file.

In most cases, expect better results with an Advanced Computer. Post a screenshot of the computer's display if you get stuck.
