MS-DOS Program to convert a GIF image into ANSI.

ASC2BRD is a small utility that can be used for converting ASCII and ANSI graphic screens to ZZT boards (60 characters on each line in an ASCII/ANSI file because of ZZT's board size). This can be very useful if you draw using an ANSI drawing utility, such as TheDraw.

A TSR program for MS-DOS which allows an ASCII character reference to be displayed by hitting ALT+A at any time. Useful when ZZTing to quickly find character numbers for the #char command. Editors other than ZZT's default tend to incorporate this functionality natively.

a sequel to "d"

*Bear With Me* is a ZZT world created for the game jam:
["Oktrollberfest 2021"](https://itch.io/jam/oktrollberfest-2021)

It is inspired by the aesthetics of *City of ZZT* and takes the form of a classic ZZT purple key hunting adventure. Except you have to escort a bear the entire time.

If the bear is harmed the game instantly ends. Have fun! Maybe!

Made for the Summer 2025 2.4 Hours of ZZT Game Jam.

This was not completed in regulation time.

I regret some.

Identical to "Best of ZZT", except for an earlier revision of ZZT.DAT - the shareware nag messages use the old Epic order line number instead of the new one.

A program to force ZZT (and other DOS text mode programs) to use high-intensity background colors rather than blinking colors. While still useful on vintage hardware, the Zeta emulator and many ZZT source ports allow toggling of blinking directly.
