holy shit, I did not expect a serious reply to this. now I don't know what to do.

seriously though, this would be really cool if it were tweaked to work with games like edible vomit.

I love seriously considering zany proposals, so here's my 2 cents: it would be entirely possible to create a 3D game using entirely ZZT 'resources' like ASCII symbols, STK and movement.

I've seen some damn beautiful images made with STK even with the 2-dimensional, low-res layout we're stuck with, and a decent artist with 10x the resolution to play with could knock our socks off.

Using ASCII symbols for objects and characters would be absolutely child's play. The :touch command could be done by having the player-character's 'space' collide with an object.

What would be tricky would be replicating the sound/music system so that it 'felt right'. And there would be absolutely no way to replicate all the little tricks that people can do in the ZZT-OOP engine. That would get into serious programming territory.
