annotate rogue5/rogue.doc.in @ 164:49af2fd0bb0c

Move some autotools files to where configure can find them. rogue5 uses config.guess and config.sub to find the canonical system names. The configure script expects them to be in the same directory as install-sh. So they have been relocated to the top level. This is a quick and dirty fix. The eventual plan is to relocate them to /dev/null. I also suspect they should be used to set HOST, not TARGET. Rogue is not a cross-compiler.

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	48 dragon's hoard in the far off Dark Mountains. You are also

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	75 gather your weapons, put on your armor, eat what is almost

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	78 2. What is going on here?
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	79
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	80 You have just begun a game of rogue. Your goal is to
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	81 grab as much treasure as you can, find the Amulet of Yendor,
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	82 and get out of the Dungeons of Doom alive. On the screen, a
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	83 map of where you have been and what you have seen on the
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	84 current dungeon level is kept. As you explore more of the
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	85 level, it appears on the screen in front of you.
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	86
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	87 Rogue differs from most computer fantasy games in that
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	88 it is screen oriented. Commands are all one or two
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	89 keystrokes1 and the results of your commands are displayed
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	90 graphically on the screen rather than being explained in
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	91 words.2

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	93 Another major difference between rogue and other com-
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	94 puter fantasy games is that once you have solved all the
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	95 puzzles in a standard fantasy game, it has lost most of its
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	96 excitement and it ceases to be fun. Rogue, on the other
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	97 hand, generates a new dungeon every time you play it and
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	98 even the author finds it an entertaining and exciting game.

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	100 3. What do all those things on the screen mean?

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	102 In order to understand what is going on in rogue you
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	103 have to first get some grasp of what rogue is doing with the
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	104 screen. The rogue screen is intended to replace the "You
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	105 can see ..." descriptions of standard fantasy games. Figure

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	672 There are two ways to set the options. The first is
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	673 with the "o" command of rogue; the second is with the

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	678 When you type "o" in rogue, it clears the screen and
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	679 displays the current settings for all the options. It then
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	680 places the cursor by the value of the first option and waits
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	681 for you to type. You can type a <RETURN> which means to go
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	682 to the next option, a "-" which means to go to the previous
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	683 option, an <ESCAPE> which means to return to the game, or
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	684 you can give the option a value. For boolean options this
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	685 merely involves typing "t" for true or "f" for false. For
f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	686 string options, type the new value followed by a <RETURN>.

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	690 The ROGUEOPTS variable is a string containing a comma
