Actually, I'm a Floridian too. I live a little north of Tampa.

[CHEZZY]

I'm sarcastic too. Remember that if I offend anybody I don't really mean it but you can call me an asshole if you want anyway.

kom will be raped repeatedly by mzxers.

i can see it now. you're all just "grooming" him.

RUN, KOM, AND TELL YOUR PARENTS WHERE YOU'VE BEEN SURFING ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY

[Kom]

That was messed up, Zenith... Anyway, I'm not too sarcastic, most of the time. And I think that everyone's talking to me a lot because I don't act like a moron, and I use common sense. And, like my parent's would care that I'm on the internet, it's not like I'm doing anything bad...

Ah, don't worry, kom. Nadir just skipped taking his meds again, no biggie.

He's only fooling with you. No need for concern.

[Kroven]

Thought I'd intro myself to start off with...

The name's Kroven

Been messing around with ZZT and MZX for not too long. I actually got ZZT when I was like 13, but never really went anywhere with it. Megazeux came to me later, and I loved its functionality... but still never came up with anything for it (and only messed around lightly with it). But all in all, I can't run in here saying that I have used MZX for years.. all I can say is that I am a fan of it, and I'm learning it right now.

Been a gamer all my life... and with the first game drought of '07, I plucked up the ole' MZX to cure my boredom. I also dabble in digital music using a program called Reason.
I'm 21... goin' on 22 in May.

Bleh.. don't know where else to go from there... hopefully I'll contribute to the huge library of games in the near future.

hey hey hey. i used to play zzt and mzx back when i was like, 11 or 12... now i'm about to turn 20 in two months. but the community back then really turned me off so i went back into zzt and made a bunch of zzt games for the next 3 or 4 years. now i'm busier but some way or another i've ended up messing around with mzx again and now i'm confused as hell as what to do with all this new shit like vlayers and subroutines because back when i stopped playing mzx i barely even knew how overlays worked. anyways, back then i made one fucking actual mzx release in my life (realms of the undead demo (it's crap, btw)) and holy shit for some reason it actually ended up on this site. i also remember at some point during that age seriously considering ordering the full version of ENGINE cause... god damn i want to know what happens after the volcano. anyways peace.

anyways i'm a real fan of classic games like honor quest, darkness, cans and stuff like that. i can't say i enjoy the feel of some of the newer games with 28x14 block characters walking around with crazy animations and stuff. i was a pretty big graphics man in zzt but by that i mean making something nice-looking out of the default char sets, or slightly edited works too.

Welcome aboard. Some things to know:

1. There's a free, full, and remade edition of ENGINE in the archives, as well as its sequel.
2. MZX isn't nearly as complicated as you make it out to be! Basically the vlayer is an invisible area of the game that can be accessed from any board by any robot and stores chars and colors via a coordinate system. Subroutines are labels you can come back from.
3. Hardly any real games use massive sprites or even sprites to begin with these days, so you can rest assured you won't have to make 28x14 char people do back-flips on ray-traced 3D mountaintops (unless you're Logicow).
4. Avoid cursing so much, because it gets annoying to a lot of people here.

[Dr Lancer-X]

Honestly, yeah, it's best to use MZX for what it's best at.

And, if you don't like doing that, do what I did--stop using MZX and go make your games in C or something. =p

[klinger b goode]

HI GUYS!!!!

Klinger B Goode here, a serious MZX producer who is currently undertaking some very large projects.

You may remember me for my games HELLO MY NAME IS MISTER ATOMIC DEATH and its sequel, HELLO MY NAME IS MISTER ATOMIC SATIN DEATH, which both set the community's heart on fire in 2001.

Well weep no more, sleepy d. Because I'm Klinger B Goode. And the Klinger better B Goode!

[Dr Lancer-X]

or just remake them. nobody remembers what they were like anyway =p

[Genrok]

Hey people! My name is Jonathan, and i'm 16. I just started my dmzx account, but I've actually been making mzx games for my self and family for over a year. I'm pretty easy going, I don't really get mad if people insult me or the things I like. I'm a little lazy lol. My favorite song is O-zone's Dragostea Din Tei (numa numa song) and I enjoy watching Gary Brolsma doing his little dance lol. There's a little more info on my profile page. Well, that's about it for me, kinda boring but I'm proud of it lol.

[Razerboy]

Welcome.

[SmartRutter]

Alo and Salut to you!

And for anyone who doesn't know, me and Genrok are cousins.

Hi. You may call me Robert; I am a friend of WildWeasel. Don't expect any games or engines from me though.

It's ok. We don't expect any games or engines out of just about anybody in this community XD

Oh, you finally registered, huh? =P

Just to clarify (before anybody starts groaning about the "friend" part), I don't actually know Robert in meatspace.

[MobianCarbuncle]

Ignore this. I was confused for a minute or so.

I remember you and i completely understand why you'd hate the scene back then. I mean goddamn.

Also, second paragraph? TRUTH. Make us a game like that and you'll be the hero of the neighborhood. No one else has the balls to these days. Including me probably. But i haven't had much time to try, unfortunately. That'll change soon, but still!

Nope; it's another word for 'Real Life'.

You'll have to forgive this forum's overwhelming sense of sarcasm.

Klinger's starting to get on my nerves at this point.

He gets on a lot of people's nerves.
