Welcome to PlayZMachine!
Z-Machine stands for Zork (Virtual) Machine.
Even in 1979, virtual machines were hot stuff. This one was the engine for all of the Infocom games. See https://github.com/JEssicaMulein/Z-Machine which has some PDFs in the root and under resources.
It is a Twitter bot that will let you play Infocom Z-Machine games (currently ~V3 implementation), one step at a time via tweet. Near term plans for Diamond/BitClout bot as well as AI map and scene image generation to go along with the tweets.
PlayZMachine also has a local console where you can play Zork interactively.
- Our Zork interpreter will pause any time it needs input, so we can send all the transcript we've gotten so far, save the state and give you a state ID code you can use to resume in the next post.
- Anyone will be able to reply and play from that exact save point in the game.
- Commands will look like /play ZORK1.DAT 123-abc-123 North
