ZZT. I think a modern ZZT would make for a great educational tool to teach coding. A lot of existing, popular tools exist at either end of the spectrum of difficulty: too easy or too hard. ZZT was simple to design, fun to draw in, and the coding wasn't too complex.
Megazeux, a spiritual sequel by another lot of people, I always found far too complicated. It's not that different to ZZT, it just manages to be fiddly without a good enough pay-off in my view.
- DanBC 8y agoI posted a link about ZZT a while ago, and I learned some stuff from people: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17656822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17656822 And a friendly person emailed me this link: https://github.com/jdque/char https://github.com/jdque/char
- zapzupnz 8y agoNeat to see how many fellow coders cut their teeth on ZZT.
