This week’s prize, Bubbling Beaker Award® #20 is presented to @borg323. It’s a little outside the typical bailiwick for these awards, because it involves hacking interpreters instead of Inform – in this case to allow the full range of Unicode characters (including for input) on the Z-machine.
It’s hard to use the Z-machine for much with current versions of Inform, but there was less overhead in previous versions, for which occasional questions still pop up. Also, it’s work like this on the “hardware” side that sets the stage for later fun on the programming and playing sides, and I salute any effort to keep the Z-machine useful.
borg323, if you would like to do a little show-and-tell about your demonstration, I’m sure that many people would be interested to learn more about the kind of challenges that you needed to overcome to get it to work.
