Actually, thinking about it, no. If discussion on source code were to commence in all seriousness, maybe we could get MadTom to panic and cry like that one time Atrocity claimed to have decompiled ZZT!

I've been on the search for a decompiler, just for fun

oh, i already have a disassembled version of zzt in ida, which is probably good enough by now to add features to. but i won't do that, since the majority of the people here seem to agree that zzt should stay the way it is.

...3D raytracing, bitmapped textures, procedural textures, bump mapping, lens flares, real 3D explosions and smoke, alpha channels, 16 million colors, real-time deformation of models, radial fog/darkness, voxel graphics, refraction and reflection effects, surface displacement, fractal landscapes, and full support for all major graphics accelerators.
We'll also need to port it to the latest version of Windows, so it won't work on old DOS machines. Forget about any revese-compatibility between ZZT versions. Predicted installation size: about 750 MB with sound files.

To decompile it, we wood need to no it is made in Turbo Pascal and the versen number, if it is optimized program we must decompile it into OptimizeProgramingLangwige.
