Zeta

Zeta is a small emulator, implementing a fraction of a DOS-compatible environment just large enough to run ZZT and Super ZZT, allowing user-friendly and accurate usage of them in modern environments, as well as easy packaging, distribution and embedding of ZZT games.

Compiling (Autotools, recommended)

./autogen.sh && mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --with-frontend=sdl2 && make

You're going to need the development headers/package for SDL2 (sdl2-devel on Fedora, libsdl2-dev on Debian/Ubuntu, sdl2 on Arch, etc).

Compiling (Makefile, unsupported)

Use make PLATFORM=platform, where platform is generally of the form platform-frontend.

Recommended platforms

• mingw32-sdl - SDL frontend, Windows
• unix-sdl - SDL frontend, Linux
• wasm - WebAssembly library

Unsupported

• unix-curses - Curses frontend, Linux

HTML5 version

On top of building the WebAssembly library, some extra files are required:

• zeta.js (renamed to zeta.min.js) - compiled by running npm run build in web/
• index.html, loader, libraries - available in web/res/
