Hi z2
What's up? I'm a guy who uses ASCII/ANSI/text GCSes. Used to play around with ZZT alot - decided I'd see what is going on with it today, discuss coding styles, and make some games. Yep. They'll be crazy games, but that's to be expected from someone who chooses avatars like mine.
Some might call ZZT-OOP an appetizer language. Not much to it, they say. I point out that one can heap on lots and lots of salsa.

Thanks guys. What sort of games am I into? Stuff like:
Commander Keen, Duke Nukem I, etc.
Text Adventures (like Zork)
As far as ZZT games, I liked: Town of ZZT, Evil Sorcerer's Party, Burger Joint, and of course Banana Quest.
I wasn't in the community before... I downloaded stuff and played games, played with some game engines... Never got around to joining and posting the stuff I made with ZZT, though. Sadly, that stuff is long gone... it was on a laptop that died about seven years ago (before I made backups.)
But I've decided to give making ZZT games another shot. :) (and upload them this time.)

Thanks, I'm playing Eli's House now, it's awesome! :)
Scott Adams stuff is awesome (I found a compiler for making Scott Adams format adventure games recently.) Speaking of adventures made by people named Scott, Scott Miller's "Supernova" is an awesome text adventure.
So... is anyone else making a ZZT game right now, or am I the only one? :D

Commodore: Super Star Trek in ZZT... please do it? Also the Indiana Jones traps sound fun, fun, fun!
Zandor: Never cancelling, yet never finishing... sounds kind of like me.
Surlent: Dig into your old stuff, you may find inspiration! :)
BTW I've started a topic for the game I'm making in ZZT Projects if you're interested.
