WinZZT

Post by robhol »

I'm not sure whether I should post it here or the "clones and editors" section, but this is strictly speaking not a clone.

Either way, may I present WinZZT, an open-source project with the aim of creating a new and more feature rich ZZT.

The project uses C# with the .NET framework and is still in its infancy. While a lot of the basic stuff is done, some of the more advanced stuff... isn't done.

I'd like help (if not with coding, then maybe ideas and brainstorming) if you're interested.

I haven't been in touch with the "real" ZZT scene for quite some time, so I probably won't stay around these forums for very long - if you're interested, post here as soon as you can or, if you want, drop me a mail.

This is what it currently looks like, if you're interested.

(*Cough* Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go have a seizure due to the 20 very large and extremely flashy animations that flashed at me the entire time I was writing this. ;) )

Thanks. ;)
As I said, if you're able to help coding, that's awesome, although if you're just interested in the finished product and the brainstorming on the way there, that's good too. :P

Oh, and nice pic of Mörkö/Mårran/Hufsa. She scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. :D

This implies you were once a part of the ZZT community? If so, you might want to check out ZUltimate, our ZZT wiki. Has some historical stuff on it.

Anyways, welcome by.

Lol, well, nps, when you do get it, if the project is still up and active, it's open sourced, so you're welcome to join, whenever.

aplsos and VinceP: thanks for the highly helpful and relevant comment, have a nice day.. :P

Quantum P: I wouldn't go as far as to say I was a part of the community, but I did download some worlds and utilities and stuff. Then I quit playing ZZT for quite a while.
