| 5 There are 8 different treasures to be picked up in this version of rogue. | |
| 6 The first is on level 25 and is relatively easy to pick up. The last is | |
| 7 on level 100 and is very difficult to get. Carrying any one of the | |
| 8 unique treasures allows the rogue to go up the stairs, but one has to | |
| 9 be very careful. To be a total winner, yu must pick up all 8 and | |
| 10 return to the surface again. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 (note: the above may be incorrect, i think the number of levels is | |
| 13 reduced to 50 and you have to get all 8 artifacts to go back up) | |
| 14 | |
| 15 The environment variable UROGUE is used to set up the default things | |
| 16 for a player. The options that can be set are: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 terse: short output messages | |
| 19 flush: flush typeahead when fighting | |
| 20 jump: show position only at the end of running | |
| 21 inven: inventory style | |
| 22 askme: ask about unidentified things | |
| 23 stopdoor: stop running when next to something interesting | |
| 24 name: the rogue's name (string) | |
| 25 fruit: the funny fruit used by the rogue (string) | |
| 26 file: default savefile name (string) | |
| 27 score: default scorefile name (string) | |
| 28 class: default player class (string) | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Something like | |
| 31 | |
| 32 setenv UROGUE "name=George of the Jungle,fruit=peach,noterse,jump" | |
| 33 | |
| 34 does the obvious. The "score" option is ignored unless you start | |
| 35 urogue in wizard mode. The class option string can have the following | |
| 36 values: "fighter", "illus", "paladin", "ranger", "cleric", "magic", | |
| 37 "assasin", "druid", "ninja", and "thief" and is initialized only at | |
| 38 startup time. The "inven" option can take the values "slow", "clear", | |
| 39 and "overwrite". | |

| 43 ================ | |

| 45 Herb Chong is currently freelance writing and doing some teaching. | |
| 46 If you pick up a copy of Windows Sources Magazine, you can usually | |
| 47 find something he has written. Starting in October (1993) he will | |
| 48 have a regular column. Herb has also just started teaching Adult Ed | |
| 49 and undergraduate classes at Mercy College, a small and not very well | |
| 50 known college in Westchester, NY. | |

| 53 ================ | |
| 54 | |
| 55 The source code for Rogue 3.6 (by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold and Glenn | |
| 56 Wichman) was used as the original basis for this game. A thousand | |
| 57 thanks go out to them and their classic adventure game of the early 1980s. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 Modifications of a long forgotten and bastardized nature were taken | |
| 60 from Advanced Rogue 1.0 and/or SuperRogue. We believe that the flea market, | |
| 61 pools, and maze levels had their origin somewhere around here. | |
