1 Roguelike Gallery (rlgallery.org)
2
3 This is the source code for the Roguelike Gallery's version of Rogue V3.
4
5 History
6 Rogue 3 was released by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, probably
7 late in 1980. It went through several minor updates. The last, Rogue 3.6,
8 was completed mid-June 1981.
9
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 machdep.h. The defaults are for a
18 system-wide installation, which will require setgid on the binary. For a
19 single-user installation, comment out SAVEDIR and set SCOREFILE and LOGFILE to
20 locations somewhere in your home directory. (That's probably the best thing to
21 do on Windows, too.)
22
23 Once that's finished, compile by running make. (I haven't tested the Visual
24 Studio project files on Windows, but they should work.)
25
26 If you want multi-user play, install the rogue3 binary with setgid games. You
27 will need to make sure that SAVEDIR exists and that savefiles, SCOREFILE, and
28 LOGFILE can be created and written by the games group (assuming you want those
29 features.) For a single user, installing shouldn't be necessary.
