An very early in development version of a ZZT clone written in Pascal. Just like ZZT was!

Plastic! X was a transitional version of Plastic! between the stable Plastic! 2.0 release and the later Plastic: Retrofreedom.

Plastic! Retrofreedom was the final release of Plastic!, and utilized a .pworld file format incompatible with the previous .pgf file format.

A handy compilation of the STK contributions of Alexis Janson, Chronos and WiL. Compiled by Dr. Dos.

A tremendously useful utility that can make scrolling text in just a few seconds. Input your text, select your mode, and you've got scrolling text ready to paste into ZZT! This can save you hours worth of boring programming.

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...

When you run the batch file, it replaces the "score" and "gems" with "money" and "mana". Useful for any of your RPG games, but it's probably easier and quicker just to pretend that the counts read "mana" and "money."

This utility locks or unlocks your ZZT games. It uses the basic save lock form of locking, so it doesn't work very well at all. Just +debug and you're through!

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.

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.

When the 'world' is loaded the 'dice' starts to move and if it gets stuck next to a number consider that this number has been drawn. But if you want to draw more numbers just press 'P' to restart the draw.
It may rarely happen that the 'dice' is blocked without being next to a number. In this case consider that the draw failed and repeat the 'game'.

A drop in replacement for ZZT v3.2 with an alternative HUD displaying information on things like board exits, stat counts, and more. SolidHUD also makes some gameplay changes to alleviate minor frustrations with ZZT since as quieting down bullet spam, new cheats, and preventing message windows from being closed by shooting.

This is the first utility of its kind! It features all possible color combinations of every ZZT element. This is a must-have for the ZZT programmer.

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.
