ADG Episode 31 - Megazeux
312Episode Originally Released: January 15th, 2011
------------------------------------------
The idea of the "Game Creation System" or "GCS" has been around for quite some time, since not everyone has the programming know-how to produce computer software, but you can be good at making games without being good at programming.
Megazeux is quite a bit more in-depth than most GCS programs, which is crazy considering it runs in text mode. The first half of the video shows games made by other people, while the last half shows games I've made myself, all of which can be obtained from my website on this page: http://www.pixelships.com/megazeux.html

Additional Information and Corrections:
* The story of what happened to Gregory Janson beyond his days of working on Megazeux is kind of personal, so with due respect to the author I decided not to discuss it in the episode.
* I'm aware that I really didn't say much about the Robotic language but really, what is there to say that isn't getting technical? You write lines of code, it does stuff, just like any other programming language. ;P
* Another option if you're looking to download anything I made with Megazeux is to do a search for "Gemini" on the DigitalMZX website: http://www.digitalmzx.net . Most of my stuff there is rated 4 or 5 out of 5 stars except for a "Wait 1 Theory" program which was part of a very old coding argument, "Gemini's MZX Junk" which is just a much older version of "Gemini's Stockpile", and "Town of ZZT" because it didn't work properly with Megazeux versions beyond v2.51. (I've since fixed that with the version available on my website. Dunno if the one on DigitalMZX is up to date.)
