Pushers are built-in ZZT creatures. They move in one direction, displacing any pushable entities in their path until they become blocked by a wall or other unmovable obstacle. They are typically used as a component of slider puzzles.

Pushers are not inherently dangerous, but once in motion, they cannot be reset short of restoring from a previous save.

Quirks

  • Statless Pushers and Pushers created with ZZT-OOP (#put <dir> [color] pusher) are immobile and always display char 31 (down-arrow.)
