What it does

Download the launch binary from https://github.com/Munawwar/launcher/releases/tag/v0.1.0 goaws-linux-x86_64 goaws-darwin-arm64 goaws-darwin-x86_64 goaws-windows-x86_64.exe And lets say you want a single command to pick and execute the correct binary on a developer's machine based on the OS they use. And that will run the correct goaws binary from the current working directory. <name>-linux-x86_64 <name>-linux-arm64 <name>-darwin-x86_64 <name>-darwin-arm64 <name>-windows-x86_64.exe <name>-windows-arm64.exe <name>-bsd-x86_64 <name>-bsd-arm64 Build the binary yourself?

The modified source code, instructions on usage, a build of the z-machine, and examples of embedded game executables are available. There is also a detailed write-up about the state of the original source code, the porting process, and the invaluable role Justine Tunney's Cosmpolitan project played in bringing the Zork trilogy (and more) to Windows&#x2F;Mac&#x2F;Linux&#x2F;bsd for arm&#x2F;x86 machines over the course of a lazy Sunday.
