- DEMO.ZZT claims that "Scrolls can contain text, interactive messages, or even complete programs!"[2] This is partially true. While scrolls can execute ZZT-OOP commands, they cannot perform any tasks that take longer than a single cycle, and there are some commands that outright crash ZZT if used by them.
