Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : New Z-MIM release - play Infocom adventures on PicoMite
Link to original Z-MIM thread Hey folks, I have updated Z-MIM so it should run on all PicoMite's (even RP2040 VGA), CMM2, MMB4L and MMB4W. https://github.com/thwill1000/mmbasic-zmim Version 3.5.0 - 1-May-2025: - Added support for new platforms: - MMBasic for Linux. - MMBasic for Windows. - PicoMiteVGA and PicoMiteHDMI including USB versions. - PicoCalc (third party PicoMite variant). - Note that due to RAM limitations a "virtual memory" implementation is used when running on PicoMite RP2040 platforms making them slower. - Added command history to the prompt. - This is accessed via the Up & Down cursor keys. - Under the hood the console support has been replaced with the more advanced version that I developed for the "Scott Adams Adventure Interpreter" (SAAINT). - Added *MORE [ON | OFF] meta-command to enable/disable paged output. - Added *RECORD [ON | OFF] and *REPLAY [ON | OFF] meta-commands for recording and replaying scripts. - Script files recorded by previous versions are now invalid. - Added *SCREENSHOT meta-command for generating .bmp screen-shots. - Not currently supported when running from the MMBasic for Linux console. - Added *SPIN [ON | OFF] meta-command to enable/disable display of spinning cursor when Z-MIM is "thinking". The spinning cursor is enabled by default on PicoMite platforms. - Removed Colour Maximite 1 support; it was much too slow on the CMM1 to be playable and in any case that platform is now long superseded by the CMM2 and PicoMite. Happy adventuring, Tom |
