\subsection{Frotz}
|
|
Frotz is a Z-Machine interpreter for playing Infocom's interactive fiction
|
|
games, and newer games using the same format. To start a game open a
|
|
\fname{.z1 - .z8} file in the \setting{File Browser}. Most modern games are
|
|
in the \fname{.z5} or \fname{.z8} format but the older formats used by
|
|
Infocom are supported.
|
|
|
|
Z-Machine games are text based and most depend heavily on typed commands.
|
|
The virtual keyboard is used for text entry, both for typing entire lines
|
|
and for typing single characters when the game requires single character
|
|
input.
|
|
|
|
Sounds, pictures, colour and Unicode are not currently supported, but
|
|
the interpreter informs the game of this and almost all games will
|
|
adapt so that they are still playable. This port of Frotz attempts to be
|
|
compliant with the Z-Machine Specification version 1.0.
|
|
|
|
Some places where you can find Z-Machine games, and information about
|
|
interactive fiction:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item The Interactive Fiction Archive, where many free modern works
|
|
can be downloaded:
|
|
\url{http://www.ifarchive.org/}
|
|
\item The specific folder on the if-archive containing Z-Machine games:
|
|
\url{http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXzcode.html}
|
|
\item The Infocom homepage, with information about how to get the
|
|
classic commercial Infocom games:
|
|
\url{http://www.csd.uwo.ca/Infocom/}
|
|
\item The Frotz homepage (for the original Unix port):
