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
|
|
|
17 First, configure for your system by editing the makefile. The CFLAGS and SF
|
|
|
18 lines contain four defines (-DSOMETHING=filename). (This is an awkward
|
|
|
19 configuration method which I plan to change soon.) The defaults are for
|
|
|
20 a system-wide installation, which will require setgid on the binary. For a
|
|
|
21 single-user installation, remove SAVEDIR and set the other three to locations
|
|
|
22 somewhere in your home directory. (That's probably the best thing to do on
|
|
|
23 Windows, too.)
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 Once that's finished, compile by running make. On Windows, I haven't tested
|
|
|
26 the Visual Studio project files; the game should build, but the scorefile
|
|
|
27 might not work.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 If you want multi-user play, install the rogue binary with setgid games. You
|
|
|
30 will need to make sure that SAVEDIR exists and that savefiles, SCOREFILE,
|
|
|
31 LOCKFILE and LOGFILE can be created and written by the games group (assuming
|
|
|
32 you want those features.) For a single user, you shouldn't need to install.

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 Troff format is a little outdated, but you should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