Re: http://gamer.build

Update: While working on another project, I've ported *most* of DosBox to Javascript. Calling it ECDOS . The site now uses the original ZZT engine for classic ZZT games and WebChars for new creations. Saving is cloud based. Still working out a few dosbox kinks and performance tuning it. Runs best in...

http://gamer.build

What's up ZZTers? I have done some SEO on http://gamer.build to make it more GoogleBOT friendly. It is my goal to make it so you can type any ZZT filename in google and have the link to play it one of the first results; kinda like how wikipedia, imdb, etc interact with Google results. I also plan to...

Nutrition & Fitness Platform

Hey All, I've been away from the ZZT scene creating a product similar to MFP. Check it out @ http://bite4bite.com . It allows anyone to create their own plan using a rules engine rather than just calorie counting. There is also an Android & iPhone(coming soon) version that tracks activity throug...

Re: Working on a new HTML5 GCS

Mobile editor is now finished. It's nearly as capable as the desktop editor minus the debugger. CharCloud can now be managed from a phone or tablet. CharCode Documentation can be viewed in mobile editor or by going to http://webchars.com/help and finally mobile friendly object editor now has handy t...

Re: ZZT Imager progress

One of the tools I wanted to develop as part of the ZZT Ultra editing suite is ZZT Imager. Below is a sample produced from the prototype, with a JPEG image converted to a 50x25 gradient-block text mode equivalent. The main reason for this tool is that I want ZZT Ultra to support cut scene imagery i...

Re: Working on a new HTML5 GCS

Maybe you probably already know, but zzt treats boulders as as terrain, not as instances of objects. I gotta believe it wouldn't take that much bandwidth to keep server-side storage an option, i mean how much data does each board really take? Is it reading and decoding the RLE that zzt uses for its...

Made a few optimizations regarding objects and the active object layer and this should be now resolved.

Re: Working on a new HTML5 GCS

MUCH better! The boards still don't load right away, but it takes about that much time for the transition anyway, so it works. I guess I didn't understand why the "cloud" flag had to be on to begin with, since a world should have been self-contained in its own file originally. Also, there...

Re: Working on a new HTML5 GCS

However, the load of each board over HTTP is still a dealbreaker. That adds up to a lot of waiting time just to go from board A to board B, let alone play through a full game. Ok, I turned the cloud flag off by default and implemented a caching system. Let me know if http://town.webchars.com pages ...

Re: Working on a new HTML5 GCS

Performance is a LOT better. Not sure what changed, but Firefox seems to work okay. That is probably due to switching to bitmaps. Firefox seems to lag when writing fonts to a canvas. If you press 'F' and select any of the fonts other than "DOS" or "Game Font" I suspect you will ...

Tested out editor by creating base board @ http://webchars.com Added board level wide flag for doubling width of characters. New #path comma...
