Hi Stephen,
I'm working on adding support for Zork Zero.
I sumble on the graphic ressources:
- zork0.cg1
- zork0.eg1
- zork0.mg1
>From the Zoom manual in /usr/share/doc/zoom-player/zoom.html:
"Zoom can not read the old Infocom-style resources - however, Blorb versions of all the resources
for the old Infocom games can be obtained from the IF-Archive, located at http://www.ifarchive.org."
http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXinfocomXmediaXblorb.html
ZorkZero.blb [07-Nov-2001] The graphics files for Zork Zero, converted to PNG and packaged into a Blorb file by Kevin Bracey.
--------------
Wouldn't it be better to handle this resource decoding ourselves instead of relying on some third-party undocumented external download ?
