Have you ever wanted to create your own game, but you don't know where to begin? Well, there exists a rather old game called ZZT. You can download it for free via the Internet. You can also download the ZZT Editor. This is what allows you to create your own ZZT game worlds. There are not very many games that offer this option, but if they do, you really should try it out! ZZT uses all the characters from the old version of the ASCII table. This means, that you can make the items you normally find in the game (Ammo, torches, gems, monsters, etcetera). But you can also make your own unique objects. You come across these many times in other ZZT games that other people created. Making these objects can be simple or quite hard, depending on what you want the object to do. The most simple objects in the game don't do anything at all! More detailed objects can send you a message, shoot at you, give you things, take things from you, make other objects do things, provide a menu of options for you to choose from, and many other things! In order to make the object work properly, you have to know what command codes to write in that program and you have to write them properly. Otherwise, the object will either give off an error message or it will do something very silly and different from what you wanted the object to do. The best way to make an object is to load up the editor in someone else's finished ZZT game and find an object similar to the one you want to create. Do not make any changes to the game. Simply look at that objects programming and copy it down for future reference.
