SSoriak: Regarding Phrases

== Regarding Phrases ==

Maybe we should have a subcategory for memes and phrases? Asking because "hammer (like a sword but a hammer) was under "catchphrases," which is a category that hadn't really been given a page. --[[User:SSoriak|SSoriak]] 16:31, 14 November 2006 (CST)

Hammer (like a sword but a hammer)

2006-11-14T22:30:16Z

SSoriak: changed category to community

This was a description of a weapon in one of [[Ripster88|Ripster88's]] planned games. Its unintendedly hilarious phrasing caused the description to be said frequently by most other MZXers. (Of course, Ripster intended that the hammer weapon would be swung in an arc like a typical sword weapon is on MegaZeux games.)

Smiley RPG

2006-10-29T23:40:42Z

SSoriak: added article

{{Game| title = Smiley RPG
|image =
|creator = [[Mallo]]
|company = [[Destiny Software]]
|released =
|genre = Comedy
}}

== The Basics ==

Smiley RPG was a [[MegaZeux]] game made by Destiny Software's Mallo. It is largely a parody of RPGs in general, but naturally develops a few jokes of its own.

Although it features a few RPG-styled battles, the bulk of the game consists of completing other boards which are usually somewhere between an action-oriented and puzzle-oriented gameplay. Two of the famous MegaZeux puzzles used in Smiley RPG were the rotating gunshot-reflector puzzle, the puzzle that imitates invisible Zelda III walkways over a pit.

The story of the game is focused on the player and his two friends Bill and Mindy trying to save North Americana.

LogiCow is an [[:Category:MZXers|MZXer]] who has been around for awhile now, at least since July of 2002. He is known for putting out a lot of small graphical engines for [[MegaZeux]] which showcase his ability to make things which look very, very pretty. This also comes through in some of his games, such as the [[Day of Zeux]] entry [[Cheese's Adventure]], which featured pixel-perfect movement. Another thing he is known for is putting out lots of small mini-games, many of which attempt to do graphically what other games have not done. He wrote [[Palzor|Palzor and Palzor II]], which is a utility in .MZX form which helped people to manage palettes in [[SMZX]] modes 2 and 3 more easily than before.

SSoriak: finally got "needs peer review" right

Otto Germain, perhaps best known as Jeremy Lamar, is a [[:Category:MZXers|MegaZeuxer]] known for having created [[Bernard the Bard]], [[Bomb Brothers]], and [[Talon's Tale]], all of which are generally considered decent or good games and the first of which is often considered a [[MegaZeux]] classic. In addition to his MegaZeux games he made three games starring a character of his named Blinky, using Game Maker. Also, Bernard the Bard is in actuality a sequel to an earlier [[ZZT]] game by Germain, which was called Ned the Knight and is often considered a ZZT classic.

{{Game| title = Battlesuits Demo v1.0

BattleSuits Demo v1.0 was a demo of an RPG which was being made by [[Gemini]] in MZX at the time.

While the battles are one-on-one, which is often considered bad for MegaZeux RPGs, the demo features a fairly extensive battle system and well-done illustrations of enemies, which are all seen from the perspective of the main character. There were numerous options in battle, including basic attacks, many purchasable spells, and items.

The game's plot, due to its incompleteness, is not fully known; however, in the demo we see glimpses of a potential rising evil.

MegaZeux

2006-10-29T09:27:04Z

SSoriak:

'''MegaZeux''' is a [[Game Creation System|GCS]] created by Gregory Janson. It was inspired by ZZT, which Greg and other members of [[Software Visions]] had created several games for beforehand. The first version, [[Changelog for 1.00g|1.00g]], was uploaded to AOL on December 4, 1994.

==Features==
===Robotic===
''See also: [[Robotic]]''

Robotic is MegaZeux's object-oriented programming language. Some parts of the language, as well as the concept itself, are based on [http://www.digitalmzx.net/wiki/index.php/ZZT ZZT's] ZZT-OOP, though Robotic is much more advanced than ZZT-OOP.

After MegaZeux was released under the terms of the GNU GPL, [[Spider124]] updated the source code with several useful new features and released his own version of MegaZeux, 2.51s1. Among the new features were a vastly expanded counters limit (1000, compared to 2.51's 50 counters), true mouse support, [[playerx and playery|playerx/playery]] counters, and many bug fixes. Three more versions were released (s2, s3, and s3.1; of which 3.1 was a bug fix release) before development of MZX grew stagnant.

[[MadBrain]] took the s3.1 source and added one new feature (the [[bi_mesg]] built-in counter) and released his modifications as MZX 2.51s3.2. s3.2 was further modified with the introduction of the [[Super MZX|SMZX]] graphics mode (this version was released as SMZX 100 Alpha).

===MZXak===
[[Akwende]] released the first MZXak version, MZXak 1.0, shortly after MadBrain's SMZX alpha version. MZXak featured several additional features (some of which, like the multi-colored configuration dialogs, were determined by the community to be too useless to warrant the memory usage) including file access, robot targeting, and built-in SMZX mode. All MZXak versions included Akwende's MZX version of Tetris, which demonstrated the use of SMZX graphics.

MZXak 1.0 was pulled a few months after release from [[DigitalMZX]] due to Akwende's failure to release his source code under the terms of the GNU GPL. He eventually released the source, but not until a lot of public debate and heel-dragging. Other MZXak 1.0 controversy included forward compatibility, which led to MZXak games being playable but not necessarily functioning in MZX2.51s3.1. This broke [[ajs|wizdom's]] judging results in the [[Summer Dualstream Day of Zeux 2001|2001 DsDoZ]].

MZXak 2.0 was released after much waiting, though the release sparked a fair bit of dispute due to the sudden timing with [[Koji|Koji's]] 2.60 release. MZXak 2.0 is notable for being the only code fork to completely die out.

===Exophase versions===
Following the discussions about MZXak, Koji released MZX 2.60, featuring some of the same additions as MZXak. 2.61 was released shortly after, and around 2.62's release, [[Exophase]] took over development of MegaZeux. Tons of features were added in between 2.62 and 2.70 (the last version of MegaZeux in [[DOS]]) such as [[Expression|expressions]], [[Sprite|sprites]], [[String|strings]], [[Vlayer|the vlayer]], [[MZM|MZMs]], [[Super MZX|SMZX Mode 2]], and many others.

===MZX32===
During Exophase's development of MZX for DOS, [[BFeely]] began development on MZX32, which was to be a full-featured port of MegaZeux for the Windows platform. Several alpha versions were released, most of which lacked the world editor (and all of which lacked the robotic code editor). MZX32 was generally regarded as unstable and buggy, and was deemed obsolete once Exophase began work on his SDL port. The last version of MZX32 released featured support for games created using MZX 2.69c.

===SDL port===

[[Exophase]] took most of the summer of 2004 to do a update/rewrite of MegaZeux into SDL, to break some DOS limitations and to solve MegaZeux's ever-increasing compatibility issues (and to eventually expand MegaZeux onto new platforms such as Linux and the Macintosh). This included re-writing the entire Robotic editor. After intense pre-testing, MZX 2.80 was released on Aug 9 2004, with workability only intended for Windows 32 platforms. A slew of bug reports that only arises from public testing shortly followed, and Exophase quickly updated with three incremental versions in one month. Other MegaZeuxers helped in various aspects; for example, the updated sound code was mostly [[ajs|ajs's]] and [[MadBrain|mad's]] doing.

Each upgrade added some functionality (e.g. multi-char editor, code search, ogg support), and MegaZeux eventually resolved the various issues that prevented sucessful porting to Linux and Mac platforms.

The current version is 2.81c; Exophase has indicated that he will release 2.81d, but it is unknown when. GP2X and PSP ports are in the works for the next version, as well as increased Win9x compatibility and a few other fixes.

SSoriak: fixed forums link

'''Athens''' is an attempt of [[User:Ler|ler]] and [[User:Fungahhh|Fungahhh]] at making a newer version of [[Zeuxworld]]. The aim of this project is to create an alternate discussion ground for anyone from either community who might be looking for another place to talk, with the byproduct of peacefully uniting [[MZXers]] and [[ZZTers]]. It's had a decent start with 27 members but currently suffers from lack of centralisation in conversation. The [[IRC]] channel of Athens is #athens on [[SlashNET]].

Robotic

2006-10-25T02:04:48Z

SSoriak: linked to mzxers category

Robotic is the scripting or programming language that is used within [[MegaZeux]]. It allows the [[Robot|Robots]] placed into a MegaZeux game by an [[:Category:MZXers|MZXer]] to interact with each other and change the game environment around them in various ways. Using Robotic, MegaZeux can go far beyond its very basic gameplay style, incorporating sidescrolling or platforming styles of play, RPG-styled battles, pixel-perfect environments, and even first-person viewpoints and roguelikes.

Robotic's first iterations (under the name Robo-P until MegaZeux 2.XX) were considerably more basic. [[alexis|Greg Janson]] expanded Robotic heavily in the shareware days of MegaZeux to include many more counters, commands and features (including such fundamentals as palette editing, ''copy block'', the "[[loopcount]]" counter, and the near-universal ability to insert a counter's value into any place in Robotic code). For a while after MegaZeux was released as an open-source program, Robotic's power increased very conservately; the biggest reason for this was that the source code for the Robotic editor was completely lost. Eventually [[Exophase]], [[Akwende]] and others used kludges involving strings and newly added counters in MegaZeux to allow for Robots to handle things they had not been able to handle before. Examples of features added this way include [[Sprites]], file reading/writing, and mathematical expressions.

The space for new Robotic commands is limited through the world format, and is nearly full; as a result, there have been no new commands added despite Exophase completely re-writing the code for the Robotic editor, and will likely never be any new commands until the world format changes (which would be at MegaZeux 3.XX).

SSoriak: basic desc. of an MZXer

The term "MZXer" is actually short for "MegaZeuxer," and describes a person who uses MegaZeux or has in the past. Often people who are current MegaZeuxers have actually stopped using the program by and large, but remain in the community because of the ties they have established with it. However, many current MZXers are also quite prolific in their game-making, putting out many different games.

Robotic

2006-10-24T22:44:35Z

SSoriak: added the article with some information; I definitely don't have all the information

Robotic is the scripting or programming language that is used within [[MegaZeux]]. It allows the [[Robot|Robots]] placed into a MegaZeux game by an [[MZXer]] to interact with each other and change the game environment around them in various ways. Using Robotic, MegaZeux can go far beyond its very basic gameplay style, incorporating sidescrolling or platforming styles of play, RPG-styled battles, and even first-person viewpoints.

[[Alexis Janson|Greg Janson]] expanded Robotic somewhat in the pre-open-source days of MegaZeux to include commands such as ''teleport player''. For a while after MegaZeux was released as an open-source program the things one could do with Robotic were constant and remained the same. However, during this time the number of counters available to robots rose significantly. Eventually [[Exophase]] and others used tricky methods involving strings and newly added counters in MegaZeux to allow for Robots to handle things they had not been able to handle before. Examples of features added this way include [[Sprites]], file reading/writing, and mathematical expressions.

I'm honestly not sure...It'd be sort of nice if we had an MZXer category all set up, because I don't know how else we'd categorize the MZXers aside from "users." I guess I thought the sidebar was necessary for that...I'll see. [[User:SSoriak|SSoriak]] 16:35, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

Really good of you to add the dMZX link, but I'm pretty sure my spelling was fine, or at the least that "an" is acceptable preceding the acronym MZX. If I weren't abbreviating I would've said "a MegaZeux game" but it actually sounds more correct, at least to me, to use "an" when you're saying "MZX." Since there seems to be a difference of opinion I think some contributor who's not one of us should weigh in. [[User:SSoriak|SSoriak]] 23:43, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

A commonly used convention in [[MegaZeux]] [[:Category:Games|games]] where the player has to escape from a dungeon using objects he finds around the cell. This is seen in many Megazeux games, particularly in inventory-based games.
