27 .SH DESCRIPTION
28 .PP
29 .I UltraRogue
30 is a advanced version of one of the more standard rogue games.
31 It is much more difficult and interesting to play than the
32 original version on which it is based (Advanced Rogue 2.0).
33 Some of it's unique features include 10 player character classes,
34 several hundred monsters, charmable monsters, etc.
35 .PP
36 To win the game
37 you must locate 8 artifacts which start appearing from level 25
38 down. You must then bring all artifacts back up out of the dungeon.
39 These artifacts also may be

42 powers back-fire on you.

60 Inventory style.
61 .IP "\fBaskme\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
62 Ask about unidentified things.
63 .IP "\fBstopdoor\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
64 Stop running when next to something interesting.
65 .IP "\fBname\fR (\fIstring\fR)"

85 does the obvious. The ``score'' option is ignored unless you start
86 urogue in wizard mode. The class option string can have the following
87 values: ``fighter'', ``illus'', ``paladin'', ``ranger'', ``cleric'', ``magic'',
88 ``assasin'', ``druid'', ``ninja'', and ``thief'' and is initialized only at
89 startup time. The ``inven'' option can take the values ``slow'', ``clear'',
90 and ``overwrite''.
91 .PP
92 You may change most of these values while playing with the
93 .B ``o''
94 command.
95 .SH OPTIONS
96 .PP
97 If a
98 .I save_file
99 is specified,
100 urogue will be restored from the specified saved game file.
101 If the save file is named ``-r'', the default saved game file of
102 .I ~/rogue.save
103 is restored.
104 The other options are:
105 .IP \-k
106 Place the terminal's kaypad into
107 .I auxilary
108 or
109 .I applications
110 mode. Once this is done, the keypad may be used for movement instead
111 of the normal letter movement keys.
112 The directions are ``1'' move left and down, ``2'' move down, ``3'' move
113 right and down, ``6'' move right, ``9'' move right and up, ``8'' move up,
114 ``7'' move up, and ``4'' move left. If the user hits the <RUN> key
115 (key ``5'') and then a direction, then the rogue will run in the specified
116 direction.
117 When the game ends the keypad is restored
118 to normal
119 .I numeric
120 mode if \-k was specified. The user may also place the keypad into
121 .I auxilary
122 or
123 .I applications
124 mode manually and then may use the keypad without specifing the
125 \-k option.
