5 History
|
|
6 Rogue 4.2 was released by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, probably
|
|
7 early in 1982. Several updates were issued, and the major version number was
|
|
8 incremented, so the last of the series was Rogue 5.2, released April 1982.

|
|
10 The Roguelike Restoration Project (rogue.rogueforge.net) updated the game to
|
|
11 work on modern systems.
|
|
12
|
|
13 The Roguelike Gallery's version has been slightly modified for compatibility
|
|
14 with dgamelaunch and security for multiple players.

16 Installing
|
54
|
17 On Unix, you can use the "./configure && make && make install" method. If
|
|
18 you don't need a system-wide installation, you should be able to ignore all
|
|
19 the options for "configure" and leave off the "make install".

|
21 If you want multi-user play, run configure with the proper options ("configure
|
|
22 --help" will explain what they do.) The important ones are savedir (where
|
|
23 saved games are stored), scorefile (the high score list), and logfile (the log
|
|
24 of all games played).

|
26 On Windows, I haven't tested the Visual Studio project files; the game should
|
|
27 build, but the scorefile might not work.

30 For more details, see rogue4.6 (the man page) and rogue4.me (Michael
|
|
31 Toy's "Guide to the Dungeons of Doom"). Troff format is a little outdated, but
|
|
32 you should be able to discover something with a text editor. I plan to add
|
|
33 versions in more common formats soon.
