![]() ![]() Of working with it are the obvious instances where generic code gets to handle multiple scenarios. Low-end machines quite well even in its earliest days. ZZT is a rather efficient little program that was capable of running on some very ZZT also has a reduced stat limit of 128 which rather oddly means that both ZZT and Super ZZT have a check that's off by 24. This time the comparison assumes a stat limit of 152. Have revealed that its duplicators still have the same check. Why the discrepancy? Who knows! Stranger still, ongoing attempts at reconstructing Super ZZT ![]() Own (duplicate) check using a stat limit of 174. Spawning something with a stat there isn't actually a bug here, but duplicators make their Thanks to some better bounds checking when Everything in the engine respects that limitīut one element wants to be a rebel: Duplicators. ![]() If you're running ZZT on a system with a malfunctioning real-time clock, this could be of use? Unusual Stat Limits ZZT.EXE /T adjusts the method ZZT uses for timing! By default ZZT uses the system time interrupt 21h for its timing. In ZZT v3.0 this is a muchĮasier option than deleting the ZZT.CFG file entirely. In ZZT v3.2 this always happens anyway, but the switch is still parsed. ZZT.EXE /R forces ZZT to run its configuration. Until the release of the reconstruction nobody knew that ZZT has some options that can be passed at the command line. Provides details on previously ambiguous aspects of ZZT and has even revealed a few new ones. One thing having source code available means is that no matter how esoteric the behavior, you can find an answer for why. New Discoveries Honestly, I did it in no small part because I wanted to give people a readable reference for ZZT behavior - Asie New features, requested features, investigations into other versions of ZZT, and of course the current forks in development to get an idea of just what's been going on lately. Let's take a look at the new discoveries, solved mysteries, cracking bugs, ZZT and Zeta are now MIT licensed and the sky is the limit. Well, it's been just over a month now since Asie surprised all of us with The Reconstruction of ZZT,Ī recreation of ZZT's lost source code. ![]()
