z2

This is very close to what I was planning myself for my modern source port, so I think it checks out.

That's strange - I wrote a quick and dirty assembler program to fill the area of memory corresponding to ZZT's data segment in DOSBox with 0xFF, and some of the areas you identified as valid stay 0xFF after running ZZT according to the dosbox debug dump. I have done mine in a different way - by ana...

Kekie's Casino World is a compilation of Viovis's 24HoZZT entries which claims to include it. Might need to use the editor to get around, though.

Resurrecting a 10.5-year-old thread, but it's in order to point out a new relevant discovery. From the MegaZeux community, Elig has chimed in with a backup copy of the Z2 game creation system! Unfortunately, it was missing quite a lot of files (the System Room, the fonts, the sound effects) - but I ...

I did some research on this due to running into undefined behaviour on the game "Cyber Purge", which tried to use element 69 (nice) in production -> Most of the data is still either in memory which is uninitialized (so can be any value and ZZT won't change it), or set to values which cause...

I just got out TP 5.5, Set it up on DOSBOX, and downloaded both the latest GIT versions of ZZT and Super ZZT reconstructions, I wanted to add color to messages (either both one/two-line and scroll message, or just scroll message.) For one/two-liners, what you want to do is parse the color informati...

I have seen a few outsiders out there playing ZZT on streams, thanks to our community's outreach efforts. But, overall, if ZZT's popularity increases - and things like these certainly contribute - I'm sure we'd see a lot more of that.

Another thing that popped up that would be cool to preserve is ZZT 3.25 by Smallhacker. It used to be hosted on the Mirror Image Games website, but was not archived by Wayback. It's not very important - the description, which was preserved, suggests it only fixes the #PUT bottom-row bug - but it wou...

Even as the Museum of ZZT gets ever closer to containing every ZZT game ever made, there are still some :key: which escape us. Currently, I'm looking for the demo of Terrorist Tower by GreaseMonkey . It was linked only on z2, released in 2006, and we can't find a backup - I already asked GreaseMonke...

I've made some recordings today:

• Caverns
• Evil3 ("Pure Evil"), a demonstration world

These should be good enough.

There are hypothetical instances where the behavior could differ: I imagine a ZZT world could theoretically insert code into running memory and transform itself into Megazeux. I've considered that too much to ask, as any reasonable duplication of such behavior would require a fully fledged x86 emul...

Hello, Great work! I've also made a C++ port manually, a few months ago -> https://github.com/asiekierka/openzoo-cpp -> however, that doesn't incorporate most of your bugfixes, or a text mode. I've also made a C port, and Ben Hoyt made a Go transpiler before. Right now, I'm evaluating if the Nim pro...

Hello! I made a Sudoku board engine for ZZT, based on inspiration from Lancer-X and Dr_Dos. Then, I built a small game around it. The end result is my new ZZT game - "Enjoy! Sudoku". https://img.asie.pl/2p0j.png https://img.asie.pl/gRki.png Feel free to download it on the Museum of ZZT . C...

Nice find, zzo! To think it's been almost thirty years, and people are still finding new tricks...

I've started working on my own fork, called ChocolateZoo. Its goals are as follows: - Preserving maximum accuracy and compatibility, while fixing bugs which can end in a soft-lock or crash. - Improving the general user experience. - Improving the developer/tester experience (editor, documentation, n...
