I can not write #Megazeux code without " GO TO " .
It is burned in to the game design software .
Changing it to some thing else makes it completely different software .

I am not sure if you are familiar about these urban legends about the two video game icons I use as avatars but #EvilOtto was blamed for violence that killed a video gamer.
And #Megazeux was supposed to be the anti-otto who brings health .

"UnderFlow" - What the #megazeux Caverns theme might sound like if I wrote it today :)
This is probably about halfway done (both length-wise and polish-wise) but it's a good place to tie it off and move on until I need to dig it out for a real project :)

Puzzle Depot was based on a free game I released over 10 years ago called Depot Dungeons, which was itself inspired by a strange combination of Adventures of Lolo and Nethack!

A single piano note becomes an ice storm. I thought I was writing a trope "ice level" song but then things escalated a bit.
My first full song in 25 years. Anyone who remembers my music from #MegaZeux - how's my progress? ;)

I’m a little scared to relive my teenage years but if you’re ever curious what i was doing as an indie dev in high school, I’m not sure you could find a better set of historical documents. #megazeux

A series of three strange characters of varying shapes. The one on the left, in lime green, is Checkpoint Shale, who is made up of an upper-left and lower-left corner bracket, a thick center line, and two sets of angular lines towards their right side. The one in the middle is Jhfgn, a darker green pile of indeterminate make with two antennae-like protrusions that are disembodied from the rest of itself. Two notches, the left one more sunken than the right, resembles eyes. The one on the right in a reddish hue is Glueburt, who seems to be a mostly triangular shape, if imperfectly so due to bumps. A divide at the very bottom of this triangle-like body resembles a smile. Two dots above it, on either side, resemble eyes. Beneath each of them is a miniature version made of their actual MegaZeux ANSI character art, and their name in off-white default MegaZeux text.
While this bizarre lot may not end up being a thing at all, these three - among the sketched up cast of fourteen(-ish) - got the most love across friend circles, so here they are.
This is not indicative of their importance to whatever narrative potentially exists. #megazeux

A strange space made out of ANSI graphics. The skies are a very dark green, crackling with green-gray energy. The land seems to be made of the same empty dark green, with a conspicuous opening into the void to the left. Red blocks with off-white blocks denote the walkable space's borders, layered on top of a teal, then dark red layer. Random off-white music notes are floating underneath them, suggesting they are load-bearing. Three strange structures rise from the top, one of red and gray brick to the upper left. The center is made of lighter green with grayish arrows pointing to the left. The one on the right is made of indigo hash marks against a dark purple background. Numerous characters, made of hard-to-see one-by-one blocks, can be seen. There's a lime green entity near the gap, a dark red one near the upper left house, a grayish one (in the shape of '#8') near the center house, and a hard-to-see dark purple one near the upper right. Towards the center is a black-colored smiley on a white tile. Just to the southwest is a duller green entity that looks like it has antennae. South of the black-and-white smiley is a brighter red entity with two small dots above an undefinable body shape. Very difficult to see furthest to the east of the bright red one is a set of four magenta dots aligned horizontally. There is nothing of note happening, beyond the gathering of strange shapes and colors.
Putting together the beginnings of a little #megazeux world, posing around some of its denizens seen in an earlier post.
Still not sure we'll see their story, if there is one, but rest assured: they think what they're seeing out there is really freakin' weird.

I am too stupid for game design.
#Megazeux is the only software that runs on my phone and can be scribbled out on my laptop with zero effort .

Megazeux retro text art game. The game is called Snarfoogle 2.
Here is a silly #Megazeux game called #Snarfoogle 2 .
It is more violent than I remember it to be.

There are plenty of free video game development kits out there now but I keep on getting distracted.
I like the #GameMaker from #YoYoGames but my brain rot is so bad that I mostly toy with the ugly #Megazeux software .

screenshot from MegaZeux board editor
I credit ZZT and #MegaZeux with exposing me to concepts of extreme parallism at an early age. And as this video discusses, most games can be broken down into quite simple massively parallel processes- just think of each enemy, item, system, concept, etc. as an Object, executing it's own code.

This video from @pixelmusement.com contains so many little interesting details about my #MegaZeux game creation system from ~30 years ago :)
If you've ever wanted to learn more about my early #gamedev days...

Bacon is probably the best sprite based Megazeux mini-games I can think of in the last 6 years .
Some close contenders are : #Megazeux superstar , Amnesia, Blarg, Booshkies, Don't Look Back, Quality TV,Beat, Special Quest, Tetris,& Labyrinth IO.

I honestly can't believe that classic #games like #Megazeux and #Nethack are still around and kicking as #OpenSource software. If #Epic were to release the source for #ZZT, that would be like half of my teenage years in a time capsule...

A light blue rectangular low resolution smiling face over a dark background.
4 photos of smiling faces on dark blue soda cans.
I tried again through a different image generator called #Craiyon .
www.craiyon.com
Uploading a reference image confused it into giving the character icon shark teeth.
Forget it . This is close enough to the #Megazeux icon.

The closest thing to what I was trying to draw regarding the blue megazeux face.
I like this one but the face is a perfect square instead of a rectangle. Also, I never told it to show a woman without a bra. WTF ?
THIS BLUE RECTANGLE FACE IS TOO TINY ! WHY DID IT GIVE HER SUCH A SKIMPY BLOUSE , WTF ?!
I like this one but that is a perfectly round blue face and it is not centered on the can.
I just want a photo of a fake dark blue soda can with the light blue #Megazeux emoji logo with dark dot eyes that are vertically long and a horizontal line for the smile.
Why is my fake social network account adding all of these extra lewd details to my image prompt ?

Hah, the classic RPG trope "wake up in your bedroom" that ultimately jumped over to #zzt and #megazeux for a while long ago :)

almost wonder if someone's doing anything for #MegaZeux 30th birthday in a month 🎂 If someone wants to do a stream where they demo the history of mzx I'd totally show up ;)

It's the weirdest thing reading about the timeline of #MegaZeux after I "abandoned" it - like catching up on lore from my own cinematic universe, lol🧙♀️ #indiegamedev

The opening scene to an old DOS game "Code Red" circa 1994, written using the ZZT game editor. 16-color ASCII art creating an extremely primitive depiction of the player's house, in a pseudo-overhead cutaway view.
The opening scene to an old DOS game "Weirdness SE" circa 1999, which is a fanmade "special edition" of "Weirdness" circa 1996 written by myself using the MegaZeuxgame editor. (also by me) 16-color VGA tile-based pseudo-ASCII graphics creating a blocky but colorful depiction of the player's house, in a 2.5d overhead cutaway view.
Weird game design flex: I am (likely) the inspiration for the highest number of DOS games with an opening scene that involves the player character waking up in their bedroom/house. (on the day that they become the unwitting main character in a wacky adventure)
