    Adrian Siekierka reconstructed the lost ZZT source code in Turbo Pascal to create a byte-for-byte replica, released under the MIT license. ZZT was my first game, released in 1991, complete with an editor that made it a sort of prototype Unreal Engine 0. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22609474 …

        Have you read the reconstructed Pascal code? How closely does it match (your recollection of) the original code? I'm happy to see the ZZT code can be resurrected!

        It’s my structure but not my variable and function naming and indentation. The ZZT-OOP interpreter is the thing I remember in the most detail. Also, I have to admit - I never fully understood Pascal’s semicolon rules.

        A case where TP's lack of optimization must come in handy!

        I can't confirm nor deny if I abused that aspect of TP to ace certain assignments back in college :)

        This is awesome! QBASIC and ZZT were some of the driving forces getting me into the coding side of game development. Really cool seeing the classic re-created from scratch like this!
