FROTZ V2.43 - An interpreter for all Infocom and other Z-machine games.
|
|
Complies with standard 1.0 of Graham Nelson's specification.
|
|
|
|
Originally written by Stefan Jokisch in 1995-1997.
|
|
Ported to Unix by Galen Hazelwood.
|
|
Reference code and Unix port currently maintained by David Griffith.
|
|
|
|
- Compiles and runs on most common flavors of Unix, both open source and not.
|
|
- Plays all Z-code games including V6.
|
|
- Old-style sound support through OSS driver.
|
|
- Config files.
|
|
- Configurable error checking.
|
|
- Default use of the Quetzal file format. Command line option to use the
|
|
old format. There are several differences between the old-style save
|
|
format at Quetzal such that converting from old-style and Quetzal is
|
|
difficult if not impossible. This also means you can't restore an
|
|
old-style save and then save your game in Quetzal.
|
|
- Optional speech synthesis and recognition through FLITE and Sphinx.
|
|
- Distributed under the GNU Public License.
