After ZZT came MegaZeux,
originally created by Greg Janson in 1994.
MegaZeux expanded on ZZT in many ways, adding
elements such as digital sound and music, palette
and character-set redefinition, scrolling boards,
and more. However, some prefer ZZT, stating that
MegaZeux is too complex and not enough like its
predecessor.

ZZT++ is a clone of ZZT created in
C++. Because the original sourcecode for ZZT was
lost, WeP is recreating it from scratch. The
project is not complete as of yet, but great
progress has been made, including ZZT world
reading and displaying, the ability to move the
Player around a board, and a music engine.
