Convert bitmap graphic files to ZZT boards!

A utility that reads the number of boards attached to a ZZT file and sets the board # in the world header to that number of boards. Useful for circumstances where someone used a binary copy to append .BRD files to a ZZT world and wants that world to still work properly.

An earlier version of ZIG. Strangely, this one has functioning audio support in DOSBox.

ZIG is a ZZT clone with a decent fanbase and quite a few games to its name! Check out its own sub-archive on z2!

I useful utility for loading ZZT worlds in different directory’s or drives.

This is a nifty program that will compress your .ZZT files and save games. It gives you an easy-to-use environment to pick a game to play, then it decompresses the game and all the save games needed for it so you can play. It then automatically starts the game. When you quit ZZT, the game is decompressed and you are returned to the menu. This isn't very useful for people who create a lot of ZZT games and there is a possibility of getting all your games wiped out. Be careful with it. However, it saves a lot of space and keeps your ZZT folder nice and tidy. You'll need PKZip on your system to use this.

ZoomIt takes as input a single board and splits it into 25 blocks of 12 by 5. It then outputs a ZZT world of 25 boards, each board a 5x zoom of a 12 by 5 block, with board links to its neighbor blocks.

ZOZ game. Included is ZOZEdit, the hacked version of KevEdit used to create ZOZ; Windows only, no installer. (You will need to install KevEdit and put ZOZEdit in its folder in order to run it.)

Lock and unlock ZZT worlds with this program.

This utility will enable those whose computers have an atypical ASCII character set; it simply allows you to run ZZT with the normal 256 characters.

There has been some controversy on whether or not this utility is the same as the ZZM Studio. It looks the exact same except for the VMUs, but it also has support for 64th notes and all 9 drums!

At its current state, it can't do much. However, it sounds to be quite a promising utility. Right now, you can type in music, test it, and save it to a ZZM file.
