This sounds awesome. I'm really impressed you have a working beta of the stealth thing, I can't see how it can practically work. Presumably the different stealth areas are marked by different colour fakes, and if so then how do you check for the player being on top of it? Or do you use something mor...

I want Nuero back, and he's only been gone 9 hours. Also when he comes back I think we should have a party in his honour to welcome him home!

So there's quite a few things wrong with this game. 1. It starts as if it has a plot, then actually has no plot. Either that or it's saved on the wrong board maybe? I didn't really look to closely. On closer inspection it looks like it is saved on the wrong board. 2. The one board of gameplay is fai...

Handy Tip: If you lose your internet connection you can still simulate IRC with MSNotepad and a split personality.

This contest was genius, but I never got anywhere near finishing my entry, so instead I'm just going to write the idea I had for it. My idea was to make a ZZT engine in ZZT. Has this been done before? The major challenges which I thought you might come across were: Picking up items Passages Joining ...

The only thing I could come up with was sticking it in a scroll. Then you could have a line later in the scroll which #put a key (without specifying colour). Personally I think the line #change normal line is pretty useless, though it obviously could make a difference. Is it possible that #if blocke...

Well over a week with no update. The fans are getting restless. Seriously CrayC, you're in danger of having irate fans turn up on your doorstep demanding to meet the band!

Now for a picture of an egg with a face on it:

Well by different tile I meant a tile with different char or colour. Which prevents you using the: http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/4695/zzt417km.jpg approach. (As different colours means you can pick up all the keys at once). Instead I came up with: http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/4707/zzt361x...

I managed 41 - hooray! I was actually a bit disapointed with the simplicity of my solution. Why didn't I spot that earlier?

How about the following follow-up: Exactly the same as before, but now no two squares may contain the same tile at the start.
I've managed 36.

I thought I'd done it, but then rechecked the rules, and unfortunately mine was just lions and bears... ...so anyway really interesting challenge! I'm struggling to beat 31 (or 33 depending on what's allowed to be in the end position). Can I clarify that a move is either the player moving a square, ...

I hope to be in for this. But the last few times I've opened ZZT I've been really uninspired. There better be an inspiring topic!

I bet that's not the story Ando tells us though, which is a shame, because that story rocks.

I don't believe you. Prove it.

Almost on the same topic, but not really, maybe someone could sort out a google calendar of important Z2 events and memorials?

I'm with Oof. I didn't find Claus particularly offensive, and he didn't flood fill any of the forums or anything. If Claus was irritating he deserves to get parodied for eternity, but banning seems a bit harsh. Or was there more than just the Z2 posts? I don't use RAWR or whatever you kids are into ...
