Project Description

The Z-machine Preservation Project is a Java implementation of the Z-machine (Java version >= 5 is required) specification. This Z-code interpreter can be run either as a standalone application or as an applet within a Web browser. It runs Interactive Fiction created by Infocom as well as those compiled with Inform, and targets all existing story file versions. Features include saving the game state, multimedia support (graphics, sound effects, meta data), colored and styled text, undo, and timed input as well as support for different languages. Games in the Inform 7 release format are supported as well (Treaty of Babel specification).

This release adds support for Inform 7 meta data,
a command history, multiple undo, and a signed
applet jar file which allows game states to be
saved on the user's machine (provided that the
security policies are set up appropriately). The
performance was tuned to run Inform 7 games faster
than in previous versions.

This version introduces support for Blorb files and embedded AIFF sound effects. The color scheme was modified to resemble console Frotz, which makes several color games more enjoyable (e.g. "Varicella" and "Photopia"). Major refactorings were applied to the core, and several bugs were fixed.
