Hi,

I checked out ZunTzu for the first time today. It looks really good, visually, and I can see why some Windows users seem to like it. What worries me about that is that it seems already there are modules made for ZunTzu for games that have no VASSAL modules. Wouldn't it be possible to make VASSAL load ZunTzu modules? It seems ZunTzu modules are a lot simpler than VASSAL modules, and the module format is quite well documented:

XML files inside a ZIP file sounds a lot like VASSAL modules, so I guess some code could be shared with the normal module loading classes. Not that I have looked into the VASSAL code for a really long time.

Of course proper VASSAL modules with game-specific controls etc would be preferable, but sometimes that may not even be possible due to copyright reasons for instance.

Has anyone thought of this or even tried implementing something? I couldn't find anything here or in the yahoo group archives.
