Hello! I made a <s>Sudoku board</s> Yahtzee engine for ZZT, based on inspiration from Lancer-X and <s>Dr. Dos</s> asie. Then, I built a small game around it. The end result is my new ZZT game - "Zee!". https://i.pokyfriends.com/zee-title.png https://i.pokyfriends.com/zee-rolling.gif Feel f...

Alas that only persists until you hit "P" again.

That was really cool to see! I managed to get it running by booting off an MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk on an old 2001(ish?) Dell laptop flawlessly.

Okay, thanks to reading up on Asie's Reconstruction of ZZT and some experimenting with KevEdit I have a much better idea of how conveyors work and break. https://i.pokyfriends.com/zzt-conveyor-experiments.png Firstly, there's a bug with conveyors and drawing. Conveyors iterate over their neighboring...

See! One time Quantum seemed displeased when he learned I wasn't even 100% sure he was the one paying for the site. It got brought up earlier today in the Worlds of ZZT discord server and Quantum P. is there and definitely aware. Lord knows it wouldn't be the first time z2's url changed. It's been w...

Congrats and welcome back! In 2020 I want to try and create more resources to help people new to ZZT make games with it. I plan to at least so some sort of game jam on Itch. If you actually want to host something yourself I'd be glad to promote it on the @worldsofzzt twitter and Museum! If hosting s...

It's not! It looks like it's just stored pretty much as is. Somewhere in the utilities (here and on the museum site) there should be something to decompress ZZT's executable UNLZEXE or something. If you ever want to modify ZZT, for most things you have to decompress it first. You can find it quite e...

For now you should be able to launch a specific world from the commandline with "zeta blahblah.szt"

KevEdit definitely does. ZZT's drawing routine always forces them to appear as black on black, but you can #put a gem on an empty without specifying a color and it will take the empty's color. I know the KE hosted on z2 is really old (but even that should have no problem). https://github.com/cknave/...

Somebody in the Worlds of ZZT Discord made a hacked up executable and I remember: 1) I downloaded it immediately because I realized how useful it was 2) I have no fucking idea what I did with it, or who made it or where to find it again either in Discord logs or my own computer! So oops.

Even the 2000 ones were a lucky find. I was hoping I'd find them on an old computer but they are currently lost to time.

Hello I haven't visited here in a bit. I was contacted by somebody well known to both this and the MZX communities discussing the site being used by uh, less scrupulous people with the intent of digging up old names and photos of trans MZXers and other embarrassing material about things people did a...
