Hi every one and @evan @popey and @Wimpress in particular.

I am learning how to snap apps and for that I snaped Zork, the https://github.com/devshane/zork version (last commit 6 years ago). I made it for the nostalgia, my love to Zork and because there is no zork snap in the store.

After a lot of effort (a LOT!) because the old Makefile has folders hardcoded in it I finally made my snap.

Thanks to all

1. Can I use the name Zork?
2. Is prohibited to use snap- in the name?
3. Should I join snapcrafters?

1. Yes, if you can register it, then you can use it
2. No, you can use zork if it isn’t already taken or reserved
3. It is not necessary.
