f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	41 Your task is to return with the Amulet of Yendor. Your

f502bf60e6e4 Import Rogue 5.4 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	46 In preparation for your journey, you are given an

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	76 your last food, and enter the dungeons.

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	92
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	112 an explanation of what these things mean:

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
