Ruins of ZZT - Easily the best ZZT game of 2016

I was convinced to make a ZZT game for the Ludum Dare, a 72 hour game jam. The theme was Ancient Technology, so making a game for ZZT adhered to the theme by definition. https://pokyfriends.com/static/blog/posts/23/preview.png The game plays like one of the original ZZT worlds, but is happy to embra...

Re: A New z2

Yes. This is very good. I like the clean look, low overhead and lack of weird flash or html5 "hey look what I can do" sort of layouts. Yes, merge FG/MTP/GOTM. Screenshots are great... Dos you basically stole my redesign out of my brain. Maybe an option to turn screen shots off in search r...

A New z2

Before we begin, I wrote this maybe a month ago, and it's already slightly dated. Especially since archive.org is now hosting a copy of the games on z2. https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_zzt So, the front page of z2 is mostly news updates from 6 years ago. It's safe to say that with ...

zzt2png and Worlds of ZZT

Firstly, I made a Python script to render boards from ZZT files. https://github.com/DrDos0016/zzt2png Secondly I hooked a bot up to it which downloads a random game off of z2, and then takes a screenshot of a random board. It makes a new post on twitter/tumblr every 3 hours and so far has done a goo...

Re: Games now in the archive!

Newsphp is the link you use to post news! I'll edit the DB entries to fix those mistakes in a minute.

Edit: Or I would, it seems to be giving a 500 error

Re: Games now in the archive!

It should just be your forums un/pass for news. Then after you post it you have to click the output news link. I guess this was a sane system in 2002.

Thank you for uploading things! I've been very busy the past decade and didn't.

Determination

I hope you all played Undertale because it's probably one of the most important releases in gaming ever. And it really gives me some ZZT vibes in how its structured and bizarreness of its world. So I did a mockup of a fight of it in ZZT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE3m3uzvVXM http://zzt.org/upl...

Alexis Janson's ZZT Tools has this.

I believe the ZZT Encyclopedia has a more robust version of the composer room.

Re: Can new games still be added to z2?

There's no reason properly adding things shouldn't work. It just hasn't been done in a million years.
