fizmo
Fizmo interprets Z-Machine Opcodes.
Overview
Fizmo provides a
Z-Machine interpreter development library in plain
C
along with a
ncurses user interface,
supporting Z-Machine versions 1 to 5, 7 and 8.
That means it allows you to play
interactive ficiton, also known as
textadventures, which were implemented either by
Infocom or created
using the
Inform compiler on a
terminal, or
to develop your own interactive fiction front end in C or any C-related
language like
C++ or
Objective-C.
For a list of features and more information see the
“

Screenshots.
