Revision as of 12:07, 14 July 2019
This is a stub for a directory of ZZT worlds that are about ZZT. Magazines, how-to guides, things of that nature.
(This is going to take a long while to fill out.)
One of the unique aspects of ZZT is its capacity to be used as a medium for publishing about ZZT itself. Various company magazines, best-practice guides, and reference encyclopedias (collections of cool things you can do) were created throughout the years. However, the drawback of publishing information in this way is that you can't get to it easily without loading the world files in ZZT and actually playing them. The Museum of ZZT File Viewer helps greatly with this visibility problem, but the content is still spread across several publications.
This page will start out as a few random notes, but I hope to eventually map out the encyclopedias and attribute sources where possible.
