Description

Interpreter for Infocom and other Z-Machine games (SDL interface)

Frotz is a Z-Machine interpreter. The Z-machine is a virtual machine designed by Infocom to run all of their text adventures. It went through multiple revisions during the lifetime of the company, and two further revisions (V7 and V8) were created by Graham Nelson after the company's demise. The specification is now quite well documented; this version of Frotz supports version 1.0.

This version of Frotz fully supports all these versions of the Z-Machine including the graphical version 6. Graphics and sound are created through the use of the SDL libraries. AIFF sound effects and music in MOD and OGG formats are supported when packaged in Blorb container files or optionally from individual files.
