# Bear With Me

By: Dr. Dos
Genre: Action/Adventure/Contest (Oktrollberfest 2021)
Version: 1.00
Date: Oct. 31, 2021 (🎃)

## Description

*Bear With Me* is a ZZT world created for the game jam:
["Oktrollberfest 2021"](https://itch.io/jam/oktrollberfest-2021)

It is inspired by the aesthetics of *City of ZZT* and takes the form of a
classic ZZT purple key hunting adventure. Except you have to escort a bear the
entire time.

If the bear is harmed the game instantly ends. Have fun! Maybe!

It's a good idea for your current save to show up at the top of the list as
you'll likely be reloading. A lot. >:3c

Users can begin the game by running *BEARWME.BAT* for Windows or *BEARWME.sh*
for Linux.

## BWMZZT.EXE

While originally intended to be ZZT v3.2 compatible, I was quite pressed for
time and it was easier to prevent issues via a quick and dirty ZZT fork than
to redesign boards and code to prevent unintended bypassing of the bear-based
gameplay.

Included is *BWMZZT.EXE* which is based on the source code provided by the
[Reconstruction of ZZT](https://github.com/asiekierka/reconstruction-of-zzt).

The only change this makes is the addition of a single ZZT-OOP command:

`#if beared <dir> <label>`

Sorry for users of *SolidHUD* and *ClassicZoo*.
