    • 32- and 64-bit Windows
  • Additionally, a download is provided for LOOMzzt, Weave's classic-styled editing tool, for macOS.

      • With Zeta: Extract zeta86 (required) and SDL (if included) to the same folder
      • Rename WEAVE4.EXE to ZZT.EXE in that folder
      • Run "zeta86".
• How do I make games with it?
  • You can take a look at the contents of the Examples folder, but you're probably better off asking questions in the Discord to get started:
    • Museum Discord is here: https://museumofzzt.com/discord/
    • MGG Discord is here: https://discord.gg/AVyfwzD3St
• Can I just see the examples in action somewhere?
  • Check here: https://meangirls.itch.io/weave-example-files
  • Additional examples and learning material are available. Just use the discord link provided above.
• What are all these different downloads? Which one's right for me?
  • Win32 and Win64 are native Windows binaries.
    • If these don't work for you, try the EMULATED_Windows download.
  • 86_64 and AArch64 are Linux binaries.
    • If these don't work for you, try the EMULATED_Linux download.
  • WEAVE4DOS is the DOS binary used in the emulated and web builds.
  • LOOMZZT is a ZZT file editor hacked to display Weave-enhanced files.
  • WEBWEAVE is a utility for packaging Weave for Itch web play.

For now, these binaries are the available version of Weave. Should they not prove viable, the newest confirmed stable version of Weave will be made available instead.
