Ok, I'm going to do a 5HZZT.
As in, like a BKZZT, but 5 hours, which means 4 added hours of STUFF

So yeah, http://rafb.net/p/JxYSQ291.html , get it while it's hot.

EDIT: A BKZZT would still be a good idea, though.

can it do fonts?

I've got a 404. Did you move it to somewhere else? Was it ever actually finished? Is this an elaborate joke?

Also, I found out someone made a program for storing small amounts of data in an image. That is, in the pixels themselves, not just tacked on to the end of a PNG. You can screencap the image and save it in a different format and it'll still decode properly.

I'm currently trying to see how complicated of a game file I can fit in it. Like, the data from a level-editor output works pretty well, but what I really want to know is how big a ZZT game can get and fit.

Then again, there's a chance that the headers are so big that even the ur world won't fit. I'll go test that.

EDIT: This image contains the data necessary to reconstruct a ZZT world with one board and no objects:

So maybe image-saved nanogames are a possibility.

Oh, yeah, the program that does this is the DeadChannel AvatarEncoder.

I didn't have to say a word.

But is it good enough to make fred2 disappear?

ZZT Unlimited is really real! Here's a copy of the code.

Uh, a few things:
1. ZZT Unlimited discussion is now in a new thread: http://zzt.org/fora/viewtopic.php?p=62042
2. Quantum P: You might want to update it... hopefully this will be the last time I have to pastebin it, as I'm looking into a free host (confirmed, yay, it's just trying to DNS it): http://rafb.net/p/z2YcSS76.html
3. Commodore: Yes, and as of this update it can load them from commfont.com directly. No palettes, though :/

I think I made a game once. Man I should try working on that again.
