Gruesome

The Ruby Z-Code Emulator and IF Manager (Currently in progress). It currently can play version 3 games such as the ZORK trilogy.

Currently implemented

  • Majority of version 3 Z-Machine (Enough to play most games!!!)

To play

Install Gruesome

$ gem install gruesome

Download ZORK

$ wget http://zmpp.sourceforge.net/games/zork1.z3

Play!

$ gruesome play zork1.z3

Next

  • Versions 4+ (Goal: Run Photopia)
  • The ability to download and list stories from a repository.

Overall Goals

There are several goals:

  • Emulate the Z-Machine accurately for all versions (text-only first)
  • Provide detailed information to IF designers and programmers
  • Make it easy to pull down and play new and old IF and text adventure games
