WiL asked for it, so here's a set of patches to the RoZ source code to fix both the "visual glitch" and "stat swapping/player turned into lion" bugs.

I made a new image converter for ZZT, featuring: State-of-the-art (subjectively) image output, Support for using statless builtins and statful objects, High end-user configurability, Friendly user interface. https://img.asie.pl/x6eJ.png (Click ^ for full screenshot) You can download the latest relea...

I have made a write-up about the process of creating the Reconstruction: https://blog.asie.pl/2020/08/reconstructing-zzt/.

Super ZZT joins the party! Sort of.

This concludes my journey with regards to reconstructing ZZT. Thank you all!

I suspect "internally", it's just checking whether the upper byte (bits 8 to 16) is nonzero. Getting the key increases your counter by 256, and unlocking the door decreases it by the same amount. What happens is that the high byte of the Gems counter lives one byte before the beginning of...

Is this something using conveyors? I have found a way to do what you described much in the past involving conveyors, and I don't know if that is the same thing or not (since I do not use Discord, and do not want to; I would rather use IRC and NNTP). It is not; I don't, however, remember the details...

The main problem is that with ZZT (as opposed to Super ZZT, which got a lot less fine-tuning and trickery), you really need to do your best to keep compatibility at 100%, including the bugs, as not only does nobody have a complete list of community-used bugs, new ones are being found and used consta...

As far as I know, a PHP upgrade broke the entire codebase, so the rest of the site is down (as the forums could just be updated to a newer phpBB). You can find games on the Museum of ZZT.

Make sure to check the pull requests too!

That's cool! You might want to contribute the patches to the OpenZoo collection. I will fix the ERRORLEVEL thing, too! I guess I should list some of the projects made with the Reconstruction of ZZT to date: OpenZoo , a loose collection of patches to ZZT 3.2, zoo64 , GreaseMonkey's attempt of porting...

libzoo is a re-implementation of ZZT designed as a portable, embeddable C library. It is based on the Reconstruction of ZZT, and is thus in large parts a transcription of the ZZT Pascal source code into C. The idea is for a "backend-frontend" model to be used, where various frontends for v...

Hey! There has actually been a separate attempt to do the same spearheaded by GreaseMonkey - see zoo64 . You might also want to submit any patches for the Pascal code you make to OpenZoo , which is a collection of said patches. I'm working on a C reimplementation of the ZZT engine as a pluggable lib...

Most of this is answered in the README, but here goes: It was Turbo Pascal right? Turbo Pascal 5.5, to be exact. Can you only compile it with DOS, or is there a compiler that might get us a 64bit arch executable? The specific source code can only be compiled with Turbo Pascal 5.5 on DOS. It is easy ...
