Don't set the player's ISRUN flag.
rogue4 and rogue5 set the player's ISRUN flag upon exit from sleep or
holding. This is apparently supposed to indicate that the player can
move again. What it actually does is make it harder for monsters to
hit the player, until the flag is reset.
As this behavior makes little sense and seems like a cheat, it has
been deemed a bug and removed.

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.
