|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
zoom \- interpreter for Z\-Code interactive fiction games
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B zoom
|
|
[\fIOPTION\fR ...] [\fIstory-file\fR] [\fIsave-file\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Interactive Fiction is a fancy name for 'text adventures', thought up by
|
|
a company called called 'Infocom' circa 1979.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Zoom is an advanced player for interactive fiction stories written Z\-Code format.
|
|
This is the format used by Infocom in the 1980s for games including Zork and Trinity, as well as new games written using the Inform language.
|
|
.B zoom
|
|
supports all versions of the Z-Machine, including version 6 with graphical resources (converted to Blorb format).
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-debugmode\fR
|
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-warnings\fR
|
|
Display interpreter warnings
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-W\fR, \fB\-\-fatal\fR
|
|
Make warnings fatal.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-?\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
|
|
Give a list of command\-line options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-usage\fR
|
|
Give a short usage message.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
|
|
Print program version.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB/usr/share/zoom/games/\fR
|
|
When \fBzoom\fR is called without a story-file argument, it presents a menu of
|
|
the games found here, if any.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB/etc/zoom/zoomrc\fR
|
|
System\-wide config file, mostly for setting fonts and colors. Only
|
|
used if \fB$HOME/.zoomrc\fR doesn't exist.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB$HOME/.zoomrc\fR
|
|
Per\-user config file. If this file exists, it is used instead of
|
|
the system config file, above. So for personalizing your settings, you
|
|
will want to start out by copying \fB/etc/zoom/zoomrc\fR to \fB~/.zoomrc\fI.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that it's a \fIfatal error\fR if \fBzoom\fR can't read either of these
|
|
config files!
|
|
.SH NOTE
|
|
If you were expecting to be able to play TADS, HUGO, or Glulx games with
|
|
\fBzoom\fR, I hate to disappoint you... but the Linux build of \fBzoom\fR
|
|
only supports Z\-Code. The \fIMacintosh\fR (OSX/Cocoa) build does support
|
|
the other formats, but the support code would be difficult to port to
|
|
Linux \fBzoom\fR. I incorrectly stated that the other formats were
|
|
available in a previous version of this man page. Sorry about that.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Report bugs to bugs@logicalshift.co.uk.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There's one "bug" with this man page: it's installed in manual section 1.
|
|
It should be section 6 (games), but there's a \fBzoom\fR(6) man page in the
|
|
xscreensaver package, and we don't want to conflict with it.
|
|
