ZRF Language

How a game is played is defined in Zillions by rules files, or ZRFs. ZRFs are text files and may be modified and created using any text editor. The rules to all of Zillions' games are located in the Rules\ directory, but your ZRFs may reside anywhere.

Programming concepts are very helpful in learning how to script a new game. The scripting language of a ZRF is a data-oriented language with a syntax similar to Lisp. Everything is divided into statement "blocks" which are surrounded by parentheses. Please make sure your parentheses all match up!

In order to view the newest version of the manual on programming ZRFs, please update your Zillions of Games version to the newest version by going here.

All future updates will be included in the patches and new releases of Zillions.
