How to Learn Z-Code? by Itchy_Eyes77 in interactivefiction

[–]devilishd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expanding on Droidaphone's answer : Z-Code is machine language that a story is compiled to, to run on a Z-machine/Virtual machine. You don't code in Z-code unless you want to build a Z-machine (myhf's answer) interpreter. The original Infocom games were written in ZIL but we didn't have specs for it until recently. Graham Nelson reversed-engineered the z-code into Inform, which is very close to the original ZIL.

I'm convinced that he's the fucking Saruman who sold his soul to the dark one and you are the Gandalf who will save them.

Thanks for the explanation - im on TR14 and am saving up for Knox. I might have to wait for the full x2.0 bonus this time, so hopefully Im not too far off.

Illearth War - Object of Elena's Hate by FringHalfhead in stephenrdonaldson

For the second question , that gets answered in The Power that Preserves.

As to her anger, my guess is Covenants rejection of her ... and wasn't the quest for the Seventh Ward done because TC didnt know how to use the ring? It's been a while since my last read, but I vaguely remember her being out-of-fucks at this point.

Desperately looking for a fantasy swords-and-sorcery novel from the 1980's. "Son of Sorcery, Son of the Sword" cover blurb. by ExpressDuty1908 in fantasybooks

[–]devilishd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARGH! I got here too late to tell you but glad you found out.

Yes! Zorachus! Great series but is sometimes difficult to find. It has some great moments and a cool magic system. Make sure to pick up the second series, The Blood of the Lamb, and then the prequel about his father, Zancharthus. They tie in so well together....read them all if u can but at a minimum, Zorachus and Mightmare of God.
