Rebooting the ZZT wiki
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2021 3:32 am
Previously, we had a wiki named ZUltimate. It was less a wiki about ZZT itself and more a wiki for the community, and it eventually got shut down because people started reporting harassment over personal information it contained. That was back in... 2018. So it's been a while.
So I'm launching another wiki, one that's focused more on ZZT itself.
Just to set some expectations: at the time of writing, there are very few articles, and lots and lots of red links. And contributions will be held to a higher bar: that doesn't necessarily mean boringly academic and dry, but the direction I want to set is more "the ultimate ZZT reference guide" and less "here's something funny that someone said on IRC."
But as far as ultimate ZZT reference guides go, this is an excellent time to write one! We know a lot more about ZZT than we did a few years ago, the highlight being asie's Reconstruction of ZZT, a complete reverse-engineering of ZZT itself. And Dr. Dos has been doing some amazing work getting people interested in ZZT again, including stuff like running The Joy of ZZT to help people make ZZT games for the first time. I really want a solid ZZT reference for myself, and I imagine if I was brand new to ZZTing, I would want one even more.
So without further ado: The Wiki of ZZT. Read the guide for contributors if you want to pitch in.
