News
> 25.07.2004 i18n JZuul has internationalisation now. The Engine and the GDK are now available in both, English and German. Furthermore, the Engine take the current locale into consideration when loading the games, therefore it is possible to translate the games. If you want to do a translation, see the FAQ for details.
> 23.07.2004 WANTED: Game Designer The Engine and the editor are nearly stable, all we need are some games running on the engine. If YOU created a nice game, we would love to publish it on this page!

> 15.05.2004 JZuul Milestone 1
In perfect harmony with our release schedule
Milestone 1 was released today. New features include the new Target
Manager to add support for dynamic generated tasks during a game. Know
Issues: Saving and Loading won't work at the moment because the XML
writing code needs a rewrite. If you depend on these features wait for
Milestone 2.
Update: Added the UML stuff. (Yeah right - JZuul's origin is an university project and that's why we have to provide those ugly uml charts :-D ).

What is JZuul?
JZuul is a text adventure and
interactive fiction framework written in Java created during an
University course in Object
Oriented Software Engineering. The JZuul Project consists of two major
parts: the JZuul Engine and the JZuul Game Editor. The Engine is an
abstract base for games, providing features such as a dialog system,
iteractive objects and non-player characters, multiplayer capabilities,
saving and loading, and maps. The Game Editor is a SWT based GUI for
easily creating XML Gamefiles running on the Engine. Those two
components
together form the base for easy game creation and lots of hours of
gaming....
