Program Description
This program randomly generates ZZT music in .ZZM files. It actually sounds decent sometimes. This is useful if you're not proficient with making ZZT music and wanna try something random. Still, I find writing #PLAY WEARESKPPTYSOFTWEAREUNITEDWITHOUT 7COLORTOOLKIT!!! in the editor a lot more fun...
Program Description
A TSR program which allows for the creation of key macros. Includes a sample batch file which binds function keys to ZZT's cheats. It's reasonably quick at typing and may be of use when playing worlds which require ?+i to open an inventory.
Program Description
This very useful utility will take screenshots of your ZZT games. Simply load it in DOS and run ZZT. Then hit CTRL+ALT+T and you've got your screenshot in .GIF format! You can also create a batch file to make it run in Windows.
Program Description
The registered version of Super ZZT, generally considered a poor man's ZZT. You'll need it to play any Super ZZT games you might find, though.
Program Description
An older version of an attempted ZZT Clone! This failed to do anything under DOSBox and on an MS-DOS system it would crash moments after loading a world.
Program Description
Tab2zzt is an exe utility running under dos which allow you to translate
tabs to zzt music. You still have to had rythmics, but give this thing a
try, I think it's worth a look. don't forget to read the tab2zzt.hlp file.
Program Description
This will convert guitar tab (.tab) files to .ZZT format. It's a DOS program and gives you the options of either printing the results, dumping them to a file, or displaying them on the screen. Works very well.
Program Description
This will reformat a .txt file so it fits in a ZZT window. Perfect for dialogues, but make sure it doesn't lop off the text at the end of each line!
This appears to not work in DosBox properly.
Program Description
Used to generate ZZT-OOP for text effects. Crashes under DosBox.
Program Description
If you use ZZTAE to edit your ZZT games, it will leave a little bit of signature code. This utility removes that bit of signature code so that it looks like it's been created in the regular ZZT editor. Obviously, its biggest practical use is getting around ZZTAE bans on 24HOZ competitions, but that would be very very naughty of you...
