If you don't want to know you don't have to read the document :) It really does remove the mystery and fun of discovery.
But ZZT has been trapped in DOS for a long time...
About 25% done, though I don't know whether it's better to write translated code in C or pseudo-code. Might do C since it's more easily directly portable.

Perhaps, but I have the feeling that as soon as such a document appears, anyone who doesn't read it becomes irrelevant because they'll have a massive accuracy penalty. The presence of it changes the entire landscape to one that's disturbingly like Ye Reol Wyrld.

Are you saying it would be too eerie if any imitation would be too similar to the original? :P

Preliminary. I don't know much about document design so any suggestions would be helpful :)

In the process of validating each piece of code. This pretty much means rewriting the game anyway. :\
The conveyor code is really screwed up because the code to rotate around a tile is the same function to move a tile. I really don't see the logic in that, but it does shed light on some weird conveyor bugs - try placing a conveyor with all bombs around it.
I hope I didn't derail this thread. How's Tyger? :)

Remember being 10 and coming up with your magnum opus that would get you a game of the month award and everybody in Interactive Fantasies would be begging for you to join them?
Then a week later you get another idea for a game and that one keeps your interest better and you swear you won't abandon the first?
That is me with programming.
I touched Tyger like once this year, when I realized I was being very dumb about how board loading was handled. I really should force myself to work on it some more because it's complete enough that it would be a shame for it to go to waste.

This goes for me too.Commodore wrote:The story off most of my creative endeavors.
If I knew anything about Python I'd contribute a little something every now and then. But when it comes to my own projects, I keep giving into the temptation to rewrite them entirely.. all debugging efforts are duplicated and time is wasted only for a marginal improvement.

As someone who may or may not have had a years-long ZZT game project at one point but at least is now this close to finishing a novel, I have no idea what you're talking about.Commodore wrote:The story off most of my creative endeavors.
