BQZZT (Game-specific)

BQZZT is a hex edit of ZZT 3.2 created by WiL for the game Banana Quest. The executable was created on June 23rd, 2000.

In addition to relying on the hex edit, the game utilizes a separate tool to change the character set.

Changes

BQZZT's changes mostly revolve around branding and naming changes to suit the theme of the game. It is worth mentioning that the OOP name changes make BQZZT worlds incompatible with ZZT 3.2.
