Does anybody remember the game ZZT from a few decades ago? Apparentl somebody created a free-zzt version of the source code. I was thinki of compiliing it and modifying it for doorgame use. Has anybody else tried it?

OMG! This was one of my favorite DOS games growing up! I still have several of the ZZT games, and will sometimes play the original in
DOSBox. By the way, the trick with that game is to save OFTEN.

I tried to run that game through Doorway and also cioxtrn, but I never
got it to work.

So glad someone else remembers ZZT!

Well, freezzt will compile and run on Linux. I got it to work just fine. It won't work as a BBS door tho because it requires SDL to run. It won't
redirect to the terminal.

Is there an option in the makefile to compile using ncurses instead? (I don't really know what I'm talking about, if that made no sense.)
