ZunTzu

Hi! ZunTzu is a standalone program: it doesn't rely on any web browser to run. However, its installation must be done through Internet Explorer - there used to be a way to install it from FireFox but it is now deprecated. Once ZunTzu is installed you can revert to your favorite web browser. Thanks f...

Done.

Hi! I have updated the link to the Civilization box. Thanks!
To all: if you know replacements for other dead links, please report them. I'll make the changes.
Alternatively, I will gladly host boxes on condition that they have been authorized by the right holders.

Hi! Are you still having this error?
If yes can you try switching User Account Control off?

I need to have a counter bank near the gameboard. Right now I have stacks of the desired counters (they have their own counter sheet) in another tab. Is there anyway to put this counter sheet near the gameboard? Hi! It is best to keep the counter sheet on a separate tab. It means you'll have to mov...

Fixed! Thanks for reporting that.

I'd still like to know if 2.0 will be able to handle stepped counters. I am considering such a feature, but only for counters in unlimited supply. Those markers will still be double-sided, but you will be able to define transition chains between them, to give the illusion that they are four- or six...

I'd really like to see vector graphic (namely svg since that format is supported in iOS) support especially for the iPad version. That way you have smooth lines and curves no matter what the zoom level. Hi! Vector graphics are not directly supported by ZunTzu, but nothing prevents you from feeding ...

Good to know. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that's one of my gameboxes (DAK2), isn't it? Glad it could be of use. :) Yes, thanks! You make the largest ZunTzu boxes. Great benchmarks! ;-) Congratulations on the new version, Jerome. I do hope you can make it run as an Android app and as a Linux program, though; are these p...

Will legacy gameboxes be supported in 2.0 or will they only run in 1.0? Hi Gary! Yes, most legacy boxes are supported - they are automatically converted to v2 when first launched. The ones that are not supported are: - boxes with encrypted graphics (on purpose) - boxes with 'progressive' or 'interl...

I am using mainly C++ and straight OpenGL, with minimal reliance on UIKit.

Yes, that's the plan.

I'll be pleased if I break even.

You read my mind.
5$ seems a bit excessive though.

One question though: Will Apple allow this app onto the store? The terminology is crucial with regard to that issue. The new version of ZunTzu should be thought of as a boardgame prototyping tool, aimed at game designers. Game designers will use ZunTzu to virtually test their game components. Apple...
