Yes! The source distribution ships with client- and server-side code
for two example games: AberMUD and MazeWar. The easiest way to get
started would be to build the server container, deploy one of the
server-side game implementations, then build and run its associated
client. For example:

$ cd gzochi-0.12/gzochi-server
$ ./configure && make

...then, to deploy and launch the AberMUD example server:

$ cd meta/deploy
$ ln -s ../../../examples/abermud/server abermud
$ cd ..
$ ./gzochid

Then, to build and run the AberMUD example client:

$ cd gzochi-0.12/examples/abermud/client
$ ./configure && make
...
$ cd src
$ ./abermud localhost 8001

Yes! The server-side implementations probably have the strongest
dependency on the framework. See:

- https://gitlab.com/joolean/gzochi/tree/master/examples/abermud/server
  - E.g., https://gitlab.com/joolean/gzochi/blob/master/examples/abermud/server/gzochi/example/abermud.scm
- https://gitlab.com/joolean/gzochi/tree/master/examples/mazewar/server
  - E.g., https://gitlab.com/joolean/gzochi/blob/master/examples/mazewar/server/gzochi/example/mazewar.scm
