Properly handle invalid room references in savefiles. In all games, rs_write_room_reference() stored -1 for a nonexistent room, but rs_read_room_reference() did not check for out-of-bounds values, leading to pointers to rooms[-1], which sometimes caused crashes. rs_read_room_reference() has now been modified to use NULL instead. Some of the games required further changes to replace NULL with the pointer to the actual room. Others are capable of handling NULL for objects not in any room.

line source

This is the source for the Roguelike Gallery's versions of Rogue and other
early roguelike games.

The code was obtained from the Roguelike Restoration Project
(rogue.rogueforge.net).  Modifications have been made mainly for compatibility
with the dgamelaunch online play system.  Some bugs have also been fixed, and
the build process slightly improved.  The essential flavor of a codebase half
as old as stored-program computing machinery remains unchanged.

See the individual games' subdirectories for their documentation.

The games can be played via SSH or the Web at rlgallery.org.
