About Zillions
The Zillions CD holds about one hundred games,
and many more can
be downloaded for free
from the
Zillions
of Games home
page.
(Or see
Zillions
Spiele
- die deutsche
Zillions Webseite )
New games are written
now in Zillions
all the time by people
all around the world..
Zillions is also a game description language plus an engine
that runs
it (the engine is also on
the CD).
With this language you
can describe the rules,
the board, and
the pieces of your game and
the Zillions engine will
facilitate the game between
human players or take
part in the playing as your
sparring partner.
You can also let the
engine take both player's
roles.
It might be a good idea to buy the CD for your children in
order to put
some quality games onto
their computer!
And it is great fun
for us grown-ups as
well!
