Does anyone remember the shareware game ZZT? If you bought the full version, it came with printed maps. I still have mine somewhere.
Also, has anyone tried to get ChatGPT/etc to play Zork?
- raldi 4y agoNot just play it, but even to serve as Dungeon Master. There have been a bunch of HN submissions about it.
- DrSiemer 4y agoZZT was created by Tim Sweeney, CEO and founder of Epic Games. It was a huge contribution to my deeper understanding of programming at the time.
- waltbosz 4y agoI remember being so frustrated by the ZZT programming language because it lacked so many fundamental features. IIRC, you couldn't even sum variables. But it didn't stop me from spending hours and hours creating ZZT games. At times it was fun to try to figure out how to do things. I once wrote a music sequencer.
- qup 4y agoI have had chatGPT simulate an adventure game, the first day or two it came out. It was very good at generating a story, and pretty bad at working the mechanics of a game. Inventory didn't work reliably, predictable stuff like that.
