@asie zzt the like, funny ascii thing from 90s

@lyncia@social.pixie.town i'm so glad you asked then!

here's a bunch of articles which should help in various ways:

1. https://museumofzzt.com/article/view/534/about-zzt/ - a brief introduction and historical context
2. https://museumofzzt.com/article/view/399/zzting-with-zeta/ - how to install the most popular emulator and world editor for running ZZT on a modern PC (alternate option: https://asie.itch.io/classiczoo - this is a source port)
3. a few recommendation lists:
- https://museumofzzt.com/article/view/295/the-best-of-zzt/ - an opinionated list of classics
- https://museumofzzt.com/article/view/563/the-best-of-zzt-part-2-modern-treasures/ - late 2010s/early 2020s worlds
- https://museumofzzt.com/collection/view/beginner-friendly-worlds/ - focused on beginner-friendly worlds, but unordered
4. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71MurckxMeDCeOrKZ5Gd58GtC1ZmU-BW - a livestream series focused around teaching you how to make your own worlds in ZZT, as well as common community approaches, which you can follow along with

if you'd like some hands-on guidance instead, the Museum of ZZT also has a Discord which you're absolutely invited to - there's also people who aren't me there

i'll also try to make videos about all of this in 2025, hopefully

@asie thank you asie
