Many people aren't aware of the fact that Super ZZT has a built-in
editor (yes, unregistered versions included!) At the command line prompt,
type:
SUPERZ /E
Then press 'E' from the main menu. Pressing 'W' from the main menu allows
selection of worlds.
The editor is very similar to ZZT, although Help is missing and there are
a few more bugs and limitations.
The color selection is done differently. Although 'C' still selects the
foreground color, you must use other keys for other colors:
F8: Select foreground color
F9: Switch foreground color between light and dark colors
F10:Select background color
Keys F4 and F5 bring up additional lists of enemys and terrains. Note that
the Bears now look like snakes. The Stones seem to have no value. Picking
them up adds them to your inventory, but I have not found a way to #take
them or use them in any way.
The Pairers and Dragon Cubs (Uglies) do nothing except sit there, waiting
for you to shoot them. They are fairly useless enemies.
The 'H' key, (for hints) activates the label :HINT within all objects that
have such a label. This is how you can use the hint feature...Or you can use
the 'H' key for something else.
Although you can still use the time limit feature (in the board info menu)
and it still works correctly, it is not recommended since the time is not
shown on the screen when playing.
