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?
  1. I was exploring the IFWiki by the Random Page button
  2. I was presented the IFWiki page for The Valley House
  3. I noticed 'Z-code', a language I was unfamiliar with
  4. This led me to the IFWiki pages for Z-code, Z-machine and ZIL, as well as the wikipedia page for Z-machine
  5. The IFWiki page for ZIL referenced the book 'Learning ZIL' on archive.org.
