  • ZIL Coding - Start Here!

    From Happy MAC XL@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 30 01:36:47 2017
    ZILF and ZAPF are available at https://bitbucket.org/jmcgrew/zilf/, with source code for the tools, and ZIL code for a parser and samples, including a port (of a port of a port) of Colossal Cave. The parser probably isn't as robust as the original, but
    it uses the same table formats.

    Bitbucket makes it really hard to find the source if you use a browser
    like lynx. "hg clone https://bitbucket.org/jmcgrew/zilf/" seems to be
    the answer, but the only download there (for me) is for a compiled
    version.

    Then I try to compile it (using mcs on NetBSD) and I get a slew of
    errors:

    AbbrevFinder.cs(146,76): error CS1644: Feature `declaration expression'
    cannot be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language
    specification
    Context.cs(232,46): error CS1644: Feature `type pattern matching' cannot
    be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language specification
    [...]

    This seems like a difficult to use project.
