.HC File Extension

In the early 2000s, programmer Terry A. Davis began creating an operating system that came to be known as TempleOS. Davis, who was a schizophrenic, claimed that God commanded him to create TempleOS. While the operating system is most useful for creating simple video games, it includes a number of biblical references, including a game named After Egypt. Davis claimed that a number of the OS's specifications were set down by God, and after publishing TempleOS in 2013, Davis announced that "God's temple is finished."

As part of developing TempleOS, Davis also developed the Holy C programming language. Holy C is a variant of the C programming language that is used only by TempleOS. Those who create TempleOS programs write those programs in Holy C, and they save and distribute their work in HC files.

While you can open and edit a Holy C source code file in any text editor, HC files are meant to be edited, compiled, and run within the TempleOS operating system. TempleOS includes its own source code editor that allows developers to open, edit, and create HC files.

You can open an HC file with IDRIX VeraCrypt (multiplatform). To do so:

1. Open VeraCrypt and select a drive.
2. In the Volume section, select Select File....
3. Navigate to and open your HC file.
4. Click Mount.
5. Enter the password used to encrypt your HC file and then click OK.

VeraCrypt will then mount your HC file in the drive you selected. To access the files your HC file contains, open the drive on which you mounted it.
