This is or will be a page dedicated to my explorations into ZIL -- the ZORK Implementation Language, the coding language used in Infocoms first text adventure game ZORK. These explorations are fresh and ongoing, so to start off, I will create a humble collections of links.
- Link to the book: Learning ZIL
- Two YouTube playlists about ZIL: one, two
- A git repo for a Z-machine that supports online multiplayer: mojozork
- How did I find out about this?
- I was exploring the IFWiki by the Random Page button
- I was presented the IFWiki page for The Valley House
- I noticed 'Z-code', a language I was unfamiliar with
- This led me to the IFWiki pages for Z-code, Z-machine and ZIL, as well as the wikipedia page for Z-machine
- The IFWiki page for ZIL referenced the book 'Learning ZIL' on archive.org.
