It's fixed. I forgot to update the DB itself when I made a change to a django model for a table so it exploded

I was convinced to make a ZZT game for the Ludum Dare, a 72 hour game jam. The theme was Ancient Technology, so making a game for ZZT adhered to the theme by definition. https://pokyfriends.com/static/blog/posts/23/preview.png The game plays like one of the original ZZT worlds, but is happy to embra...

This thread may be getting some traffic again. I launched a Patreon to revive this project as well as write about ZZT games and work on a Python library for better parsing them: The Patreon can be found at https://www.patreon.com/worldsofzzt You can read all about the project itself: https://pokyfri...
