INTRODUCTION + + Rogue is a screen-oriented fantasy game set in the + ever-changing Dungeons of Doom. The game comes complete + with monsters, spells, weapons, armor, potions, and other + magical items. The dungeon's geography changes with every + game, and although many magical items have certain + identifiable properties, such as turning the player + invisible, the physical manifestation of the magic changes + each game. A red potion, for example, will cause the same + reaction throughout a given game, but it may be a completely + different potion in a new game. + + Entering the dungeon with only a little food, armor, + and a weapon, the player must develop a good strategy of + when to fight, when to run, and how to best use any magical + items found in the dungeon. To make things interesting, the + player has a quest to return one of several unique + artifacts, rumored to lie deep in the dungeon's bowels. + Returning with this artifact brings great glory and the + title of Complete Winner. But even after finding the + artifact, the player may wish to continue further to match + wits with an arch-devil, demon prince, or even a deity found + far down in the dungeon. Defeating such a creature will + gain the player many experience points, the basis for + scoring in Rogue. + + It is very difficult to return from the Dungeons of + Doom. Few people ever make it out alive. Should this + unlikely event occur, the player would be proclaimed a + complete winner and handsomely rewarded for any booty + removed from the dungeon. + + + 2. CHARACTER CLASSES AND ATTRIBUTES + + Before placing the player in the dungeon, the game + requests the player to select a character class: a fighter, + a magic user, a cleric, or a thief. + + 2.1 The_Fighter + + A fighter is very strong and will have a high strength + rating. This great strength gives a fighter the best odds + of winning a battle with a monster. At high experience + levels the fighter also gets to attack multiple times in a + single turn. This obviously further increases his chances + at winning battles. Intrinsic to the fighter class is a + robustness which results in 1 to 10 extra hit points for + + + + + + + + + + + + - 2 - + + + + every new experience level. + + 2.2 The_Magician + + A magician's major attribute is intelligence, which + enables the magician to cast spells. The number and variety + of spells increases as the magician gains experience and + intelligence. Other types of characters can cast spells, + but only if they manage to gain extraordinarily high + intelligence. Magic users are not as hearty as fighters; + they receive 1 to 8 extra hit points for every new + experience level. + + 2.3 The_Cleric + + A cleric has a high wisdom rating and can thus pray. + The number and variety of prayers which the gods are willing + to grant to a cleric increase as the cleric gains experience + and wisdom. Other character types can pray only if they + manage to gain extraordinary wisdom. + + Because of their religious nature, clerics can also + affect the "undead" beings, like zombies and ghouls, which + became monsters after they died. If an "undead" creature is + next to a cleric, the cleric may try to turn it and cause it + to flee. If the cleric is sufficiently powerful relative to + the monster, the cleric will destroy it. This ability + increases as the character gains experience levels. + + Clerics can gain from 1 to 8 extra hit points on + reaching a new experience level. + + 2.4 The_Thief + + A thief is exceptionally dextrous and has a good chance + to set a trap or rob a monster. Any type of character can + try to set a trap or steal from a monster standing next to + the character, but the chances of success are low compared + to a thief's chances. + + By their nature, thieves can automatically detect all + the gold on the current level of the dungeon. They are also + good at detecting hidden traps. Because thieves slink + along, they are not as likely as other characters to wake + sleeping monsters. If a thief manages to sneak up on a + creature without waking it, he will get a chance to backstab + the monster. When this is done, the damage done by the thief + greatly increases based on his experience level. + + Thieves gain from 1 to 6 extra hit points from a new + experience level. + + + + + + + + + + + + - 3 - + + + + 2.5 Constitution + + Every character has a constitution rating. A character + with an exceptionally good constitution will gain more than + the normal amount of hit points associated with the + character's class when the character reaches a new + experience level. Exceptional constitution also provides + better protection versus poison-based attacks and diseases. + + 2.6 Experience_Levels + + Characters gain experience for killing monsters, + stealing from monsters, and turning monsters. Each + character class has a set of thresholds associated with it. + When a character reaches a threshold, the character attains + the next experience level. This new level brings extra hit + points and a greater chance of success in performing the + abilities associated with the character's class. Magicians + receive new spells, and clerics receive new prayers. + + Thieves have the lowest threshold for gaining + experience levels, followed by clerics. Fighters are next, + and magicians have the highest threshold. + + + 3. THE SCREEN + + During the normal course of play, the screen consists + of three separate sections: the top line of the terminal, + the bottom two lines of the terminal, and the remaining + middle lines. The top line reports actions which occur + during the game, the middle section depicts the dungeon, and + the bottom lines describe the player's current condition. + + 3.1 The_Top_Line + + Whenever anything happens to the player, such as + finding a scroll or hitting or being hit by a monster, a + short report of the occurrence appears on the top line of + the screen. When such reports occur quickly, one right + after another, the game displays the notice followed by the + prompt '--More--.' After reading this notice, the player + can press a space to display the next message. At such a + point, the game ignores all commands until the player + presses a space. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 4 - + + + + 3.2 The_Dungeon_Section + + The large middle section of the screen displays the + player's surroundings using the following symbols: + + | A wall of a room. + + - A wall of a room. + + * A pile of gold. + + % A way to the next level. + + + A doorway. + + . The floor in a room. + + @ The player. + + _ The player, when invisible. + + # The floor in a passageway. + + ! A flask containing a potion. + + ? A sealed scroll. + + : Some food. + + ) A weapon. + + Solid rock (denoted by a space). + + ] Some armor. + + ; A miscellaneous magic item + + , An artifact + + = A ring. + + / A wand or a staff. + + ^ The entrance to a trading post + + > A trapdoor leading to the next level + + { An arrow trap + + $ A sleeping gas trap + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 5 - + + + + } A beartrap + + ~ A trap that teleports you somewhere else + + ` A poison dart trap + + " A shimmering magic pool + + ' An entrance to a maze + + $ Any magical item. (During magic detection) + + > A blessed magical item. (During magic detection) + + < A cursed magical item. (During magic detection) + + A letter A monster. Note that a given letter may signify + multiple monsters, depending on the level of the + dungeon. The player can always identify a current + monster by using the identify command ('/'). + + 3.3 The_Status_Section + + The bottom two lines of the screen describe the + player's current status. The first line gives the player's + characteristics: + + o Intelligence (Int) + + o Strength (Str) + + o Wisdom (Wis) + + o Dexterity (Dxt) + + o Constitution (Const) + + o Encumbrance (Carry) + + Intelligence, strength, wisdom, dexterity, and + constitution have a normal maximum of 25, but can be higher + when augmented by a ring. Encumbrance is a measurement of + how much the player can carry versus how much he is + currently carrying. The more you carry relative to your + maximum causes you to use more food. + + The second status line provides the following + information: + + o The current level (Lvl) in the dungeon. This number + increases as the player goes further down. + + + + + + + + + + + + - 6 - + + + + o How much gold (Au) the player is carrying. + + o The player's current number of hit points (Hp), + followed in parentheses by the player's current maximum + number of hit points. Hit points express the player's + health. As a player heals by resting, the player's + current hit points gradually increase until reaching + the current maximum. This maximum increases each time + a player attains a new experience level. If the + player's current hit points reach 0, the player dies. + + o The player's armor class (Ac). This number describes + the amount of protection provided by the armor and + rings currently worn by the player. Wearing no armor + is equivalent to an armor class of 10. The protection + level increases as the armor class decreases. + + o The player's current experience level (Exp) followed by + the player's experience points. The player can gain + experience points by killing monsters, successfully + stealing from monsters, and turning monsters. When a + player gains enough experience points to surpass a + threshold that depends on the player's character type, + the player reaches a new experience level. A new + experience level brings extra hit points and possibly + added abilities, such as a new spell for a magician or + a new prayer for a cleric. + + o A description of the player's character. This + description depends on the player's character type and + experience level. + + + 4. COMMANDS + + A player can invoke most Rogue commands by typing a + single character. Some commands, however, require a + direction, in which case the player types the command + character followed by a directional command. Many commands + can be prefaced by a number, indicating how many times the + command should be executed. + + When the player invokes a command referring to an item + in the player's pack (such as reading a scroll), the game + prompts for the item. The player should then type the + letter associated with the item, as displayed by the + inventory command. Typing a '*' at this point produces a + list of the eligible items. + + Rogue understands the following commands: + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 7 - + + + + ? Preceding a command by a '?' produces a brief + explanation of the command. The command '?*' gives an + explanation of all the commands. + + / Preceding a symbol by a '/' identifies the symbol. + + h Move one position to the left. + + j Move one position down. + + k Move one position up. + + l Move one position to the right. + + y Move one position to the top left. + + u Move one position to the top right. + + b Move one position to the bottom left. + + n Move one position to the bottom right. + + H Run to the left until reaching something interesting. + + J Run down until reaching something interesting. + + K Run up until reaching something interesting. + + L Run to the right until reaching something interesting. + + Y Run to the top left until reaching something + interesting. + + U Run to the top right until reaching something + interesting. + + B Run to the bottom left until reaching something + interesting. + + N Run to the bottom right until reaching something + interesting. + + t This command, followed by a directional command, prompts + for an object from the players pack. The player then + throws the object in the specified direction. + + f When this command precedes a directional command, the + player moves in the specified direction until passing + something interesting. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 8 - + + + + z This command must be followed by a directional command. + Rogue then prompts for a wand or staff from the player's + pack and zaps it in the specified direction. + + > Go down to the next level. + + < Go up to the next level. + + s Search for a secret door or a trap in the circle + surrounding the player. + + . This command (a dot) causes the player to rest a turn. + + i Display an inventory of the player's pack. + + I This command prompts for an item from the player's pack + and displays the inventory information for that item. + + q Quaff a potion from the player's pack. + + r Read a scroll from the player's pack. + + e Eat some food from the player's pack. + + w Wield a weapon from the player's pack. + + W Wear some armor or miscellaneous magic item from the + player's pack. + + T Take off whatever the player is wearing. + + P Put on a ring from the player's pack. The player can + wear a maximum of eight rings. + + R Remove a ring from the player's hand. + + ^U Uuse a miscellaneous magic item in the player's pack. + + d Drop an item from the player's pack. + + c When the player types this command, Rogue prompts for an + item from the player's pack and a one-line name. Rogue + then calls all similar items (such as all the blue + potions) by the specified name. + + m When the player types this command, Rogue prompts for an + item from the player's pack and a one-line name. Rogue + then marks the specified item with the given name. + + o Typing this command causes Rogue to display all the + settable options. The player can then merely examine + + + + + + + + + + + + - 9 - + + + + the options or change any or all of them. + + C This command, restricted to magicians and characters + with exceptionally high intelligence, produces a listing + of the magician's current supply of spells. The player + can select one of the displayed spells and, if the + player's energy level is sufficiently high, cast it. + The more complicated the spell, the more energy it + takes. + + p This command, restricted to clerics and characters with + exceptionally high wisdom, produces a listing of the + cleric's known prayers. The player can then offer one + of these prayers to the character's deity. Deities are + not known for favoring characters which continually pray + to them, and they are most likely to answer the least + "ambitious" prayers. + + a This command is restricted to clerics and characters + with exceptionally high wisdom and must be followed by a + directional command. If there is an "undead" monster + standing next to the player in the specified direction, + there is a chance the player will affect the monster by + causing it to flee or possibly even destroying it. + + ^ This command sets a trap and is most likely to succeed + for a character with a high dexterity, such as a thief. + If the character is successful, Rogue prompts the player + for a type of trap and sets it where the player is + standing. + + G This command is restricted to thieves.

If there is a + monster standing next to the player in the specified + direction, the player tries to steal an item from the + monster's pack. If the player is successful, the + monster does not notice anything, but if the player is + unsuccessful, there is a chance the monster will wake + up. + + ^L Redraw the screen. + + ^R Repeat the last message that was displayed on the top + line of the screen. + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 10 - + + + + ^[ Typing an escape will usually cause Rogue to cancel the + current command. + + v Print the current Rogue version number. + + ! Escape to the shell. + + S Quit and save the game for resumption at a later time. + + Q Quit without saving the game. + + + 5. IMPLICIT COMMANDS + + There is no "attack" command. If a player wishes to + attack a monster, the player simply tries to move onto the + spot where the monster is standing. The game then assumes + that the player wishes to attack the monster with whatever + weapon the player is wielding. + + When the player moves onto an item, the game + automatically places the object into the player's pack. If + there is no room left in the pack, the game announces that + fact and leaves the item on the floor. + + + 6. LIGHT + + Some rooms in the dungeon possess a natural light + source. In other rooms and in corridors the player can see + only those things within a one space radius from the player. + These dark rooms can be lit with magical light or by a fire + beetle. + + + 7. WEAPONS AND ARMOR + + The player can wield exactly one weapon at a time. + When the player attacks a monster, the amount of damage + depends on the particular weapon the player is wielding. To + fire a projectile weapon, such as a crossbow or a short bow, + the player should wield the bow and "throw" the bolt or + arrow at the monster. + + A weapon may be cursed or blessed, affecting the + likelihood of hitting a monster with the weapon and the + damage the weapon will inflict on the monster. If the + player has identified a weapon, the "to hit" and "to damage" + bonuses appear in that order before the weapon's name in an + inventory listing. A positive bonus indicates a blessed + weapon, and a negative bonus usually indicates a cursed + + + + + + + + + + + + - 11 - + + + + weapon. The player cannot release a cursed weapon. + + Without any armor the player has an armor class of 10. + The lower the player's armor class, the harder it is for a + monster to hit the player, so wearing armor can improve the + player's armor class. A cursed suit of armor, however, + offers poor protection and may sometimes be worse than no + armor at all. + + After the player has identified a suit of armor, the + protection bonus appears before the armor's name in an + inventory listing. If the bonus is positive the armor is + blessed, and if it is negative, the armor is usually cursed. + The player cannot remove a cursed suit of armor. + + Some monsters can corrode armor when they hit it. If + such a monster hits the player when the player is wearing + metal armor, the armor loses some of its protection value, + but the corrosion does not curse the armor. + + + 8. POTIONS AND SCROLLS + + The player can frequently find potions and scrolls in + the dungeon. In any given dungeon, the player can + distinguish among the different types of potions by a + potion's color and among the different types of scrolls by a + scroll's name. Quaffing a potion or reading a scroll + usually causes some magical occurrence. Most potions and + scrolls may be cursed or blessed. + + + 9. RINGS + + The player can wear a maximum of eight rings, and they + have a magical effect on the player as long as they are + worn. Some rings also speed up the player's metabolism, + making the player require food more often. Many rings can + be cursed or blessed, and the player cannot remove a cursed + ring. The player can distinguish among different types of + rings by a ring's jewel. + + + 10. WANDS AND STAVES + + Wands and staves affect the player's environment. The + player can zap a wand or staff at something and perhaps + shoot a bolt of lightning at it or teleport it away. All + wands or staves of the same type are constructed with the + same type of wood. Some wands and staves may be cursed or + blessed. + + + + + + + + + + + + - 12 - + + + + 11. FOOD + + The player must be careful not to run out of food since + moving through the dungeon fighting monsters consumes a lot + of energy. Starving results in the player's fainting for + increasingly longer periods of time, during which any nearby + monster can attack the player freely. + + + 12. GOLD + + Gold has one use in a dungeon: buying things. One can + buy things in two ways, either in a trading post or from a + quartermaster. A trading post is a place "between levels" + of the dungeon and can be entered by stepping on the + entrance. A quartermaster is a person who will sometimes + appear and will try to sell the player some of his wares. + These wares are never cursed and frequently blessed, though + blessed goods cost more than normal goods. If the player + chooses to buy one of the quartermaster's items, the + quartermaster trades the item for the specified amount of + gold and disappears. Attacking a quartermaster causes him + to vanish without offering a trade. + + + 13. MISCELLANEOUS MAGIC ITEMS + + Miscellaneous items such as a pair of boots or a book + may be found within the dungeon. These items can usually be + used to the player's advantage (assuming they are not + cursed). Some of these items can be worn, such as a cloak, + while others are to be used, such as a book. + + + 14. ARTIFACTS + + Some monsters down in the depths of the dungeon carry + unique artifacts. The game begins as a quest to retrieve + one of these items. Each artifact appears only on its + owner's person. + + + 15. TRAPS + + A variety of traps, including trap doors, bear traps, + and sleeping traps, are hidden in the dungeon. They remain + hidden until sprung by a monster or the player. A sprung + trap continues to function, but since it is visible, an + intelligent monster is not likely to tread on it. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - 13 - + + + + 16. THE MONSTERS + + Each monster except for the merchant quartermaster + appears in a limited range of dungeon levels. All monsters + of the same type share the same abilities; all giant rats, + for example, can give the player a disease, and all + jackalweres can put the player to sleep. Monsters of the + same type can vary, however, such that one kobold may be + much more difficult to kill than another one. In general, + the more difficult it is to kill a monster, the more + experience points the monster is worth. + + Most monsters attack by biting and clawing, but some + monsters carry weapons, including such projectile weapons as + short bows and crossbows, and some monsters have breath + weapons. These latter monsters can attack the player from + across a room or down a corridor. + + Some monsters are more intelligent than others, and the + more intelligent a monster, the more likely that the monster + will run away if it is about to die. A fleeing monster will + not attack the player unless cornered. + + As the player moves down in the dungeon, the monsters + get more powerful. Deep down in the dungeon there exist + some one-of-a-kind monsters. These monsters are greatly + feared. However, once a "unique monster" is killed, the + player will not find another in the current dungeon. + + + 17. OPTIONS + + Rogue has several options which may be set by the + player: + + terse Setting this Boolean option results in shorter + messages appearing on the top line of the screen. + + jump Setting this Boolean option results in waiting until + the player has finished running to draw the player's + path. Otherwise the game always displays the path + one step at a time. + + step Setting this Boolean option results in most listings, + such as an inventory, appearing one item at a time on + the top line of the screen. When this option is not + set, the game clears the screen, displays the list, + and then redraws the dungeon. + + flush Setting this Boolean option results in flushing all + typeahead (pending) commands when the player + + + + + + + + + + + + - 14 - + + + + encounters a monster. + + askme Setting this Boolean option results in the game + prompting the player for a name upon encountering a + new type of scroll, potion, ring, staff, or wand. + + name This string is the player's name and defaults to the + player's account name. + + fruit This string identifies the player's favorite fruit, + sometimes encountered in the dungeon. It defaults to + slime-mold. + + file This string, which defaults to rogue.save, specifies + the file to use for saving the game. + + score This string identifies the top-ten score file to use + for the game. + + class This option specifies the character class of the + rogue. It can be set only in the ROGUEOPTS + environment variable. + + The player can set options at the beginning of a game + via the ROGUEOPTS environment variable. Naming a Boolean + option sets it, and preceding the Boolean option name by + "no" clears it. The syntax "stringoption=name" sets a + string option to "name." So setting ROGUEOPTS to "terse, + jump, nostep, flush, askme, name=Ivan the Terrible, + fruit=pomegranate" would set the terse, jump, flush, and + askme Boolean options, clear the step Boolean option, set + the player's name to "Ivan the Terrible," set the player's + favorite fruit to a pomegranate, and use the defaults for + the save file and the score file. + + The player may change an option at any time during the + game via the option command, which results in a listing of + the current options. Typing a new value changes the option, + a RETURN moves to the next option, a '-' moves to the + previous option, and an ESCAPE returns the player to the + dungeon. + + + 18. SCORING + + The player receives experience points for stealing + items from monsters, turning monsters (a clerical ability), + and killing monsters. When the player gets killed, the + player's score equals the player's experience points. A + player who quits gets a score equal to the player's + experience points and gold. If the player makes it back up + + + + + + + + + + + + - 15 - + + + + out of the dungeon, the player's score equals the player's + experience points plus the gold the player carried and the + gold received from selling the player's possessions. Rogue + maintains a list of the top ten scores to date, together + with the name of the player obtaining the score, the level + where the player finished, and the manner in which the + player ended the game. + + + 19.

ABSTRACT

+
+
+

Rogue was first introduced by Michael Toy at the + University of California at Berkeley as a screen-oriented fantasy game. + The game had 26 types of monsters that the player could meet while + exploring a dungeon generated by the computer. Scrolls, potions, rings, + wands, staves, armor, and weapons helped the player to battle these + monsters and to gain gold, the basis for scoring.

+

The version of Rogue described in this guide has been + expanded to include over 110 monsters with many new capabilities. Many + of the monsters are intelligent, and they, like the player, must avoid + traps and decide when it is better to fight or to run. The player + chooses a character class at the beginning of the game which defines the + player's abilities. Experience, rather than gold, decides the player's + score.

1. INTRODUCTION

+

+ Rogue is a screen-oriented fantasy game set in the ever-changing Dungeons of + Doom. The game comes complete with monsters, spells, weapons, armor, + potions, and other magical items. The dungeon's geography changes with every + game, and although many magical items have certain identifiable properties, + such as turning the player invisible, the physical manifestation of the + magic changes each game. A red potion, for example, will cause the same + reaction throughout a given game, but it may be a completely different + potion in a new game.

+

+ Entering the dungeon with only a little food, armor, and a weapon, the + player must develop a good strategy of when to fight, when to run, and how + to best use any magical items found in the dungeon. To make things + interesting, the player has a quest to return one of several unique + artifacts, rumored to lie deep in the dungeon's bowels. Returning with this + artifact brings great glory and the title of Complete Winner. But even after + finding the artifact, the player may wish to continue further to match wits + with an arch-devil, demon prince, or even a deity found far down in the + dungeon. Defeating such a creature will gain the player many experience + points, the basis for scoring in Rogue.

+

+ It is very difficult to return from the Dungeons of Doom. Few people ever + make it out alive. Should this unlikely event occur, the player would be + proclaimed a complete winner and handsomely rewarded for any booty removed + from the dungeon.

+

2. CHARACTER CLASSES AND ATTRIBUTES

+

+ Before placing the player in the dungeon, the game requests the player to + select a character class: a fighter, a magic user, a cleric, or a thief.

+

2.1 The Fighter

+

+ A fighter is very strong and will have a high strength rating. This great + strength gives a fighter the best odds of winning a battle with a monster. + At high experience levels the fighter also gets to attack multiple times in + a single turn. This obviously further increases his chances at winning + battles. Intrinsic to the fighter class is a robustness which results in 1 + to 10 extra hit points for every new experience level.

+

2.2 The Magician

+

+ A magician's major attribute is intelligence, which enables the magician to + cast spells. The number and variety of spells increases as the magician + gains experience and intelligence. Other types of characters can cast + spells, but only if they manage to gain extraordinarily high intelligence. + Magic users are not as hearty as fighters; they receive 1 to 8 extra hit + points for every new experience level.

+

2.3 The Cleric

+

+ A cleric has a high wisdom rating and can thus pray. The number and variety + of prayers which the gods are willing to grant to a cleric increase as the + cleric gains experience and wisdom. Other character types can pray only if + they manage to gain extraordinary wisdom.

+

+ Because of their religious nature, clerics can also affect the "undead" + beings, like zombies and ghouls, which became monsters after they died. If + an "undead" creature is next to a cleric, the cleric may try to turn it and + cause it to flee. If the cleric is sufficiently powerful relative to the + monster, the cleric will destroy it. This ability increases as the character + gains experience levels.

+

+ Clerics can gain from 1 to 8 extra hit points on reaching a new experience + level.

+

2.4 The Thief

+

+ A thief is exceptionally dextrous and has a good chance to set a trap or rob + a monster. Any type of character can try to set a trap or steal from a + monster standing next to the character, but the chances of success are low + compared to a thief's chances. +

+

+ By their nature, thieves can automatically detect all the gold on the + current level of the dungeon. They are also good at detecting hidden traps. + Because thieves slink along, they are not as likely as other characters to + wake sleeping monsters. If a thief manages to sneak up on a creature without + waking it, he will get a chance to backstab the monster. When this is done, + the damage done by the thief greatly increases based on his experience + level.

+

+ Thieves gain from 1 to 6 extra hit points from a new experience level. +

+

2.5 +CONSTITUTION

+

Every character has a constitution rating. A character with +an exceptionally good constitution will gain more than the normal amount of hit +points associated with the character's class when the character reaches a new +experience level. Exceptional constitution also provides better protection +versus poison-based attacks and diseases.

+

2.6 Experience Levels

+

+ Characters gain experience for killing monsters, stealing from monsters, and + turning monsters. Each character class has a set of thresholds associated + with it. When a character reaches a threshold, the character attains the + next experience level. This new level brings extra hit points and a greater + chance of success in performing the abilities associated with the + character's class. Magicians receive new spells, and clerics receive new + prayers.

+

+ Thieves have the lowest threshold for gaining experience levels, followed by + clerics. Fighters are next, and magicians have the highest threshold.

+

+ 3. THE SCREEN

+

+ During the normal course of play, the screen consists of three separate + sections: the top line of the terminal, the bottom two lines of the + terminal, and the remaining middle lines. The top line reports actions which + occur during the game, the middle section depicts the dungeon, and the + bottom lines describe the player's current condition.

+

3.1 The Top Line +

+ Whenever anything happens to the player, such as finding a scroll or hitting + or being hit by a monster, a short report of the occurrence appears on the + top line of the screen. When such reports occur quickly, one right after + another, the game displays the notice followed by the prompt '--More--.' + After reading this notice, the player can press a space to display the next + message. At such a point, the game ignores all commands until the player + presses a space.

+

+ + 3.2 The Dungeon Section +

+ The large middle section of the screen displays the player's surroundings using + the following symbols: +

+

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ multiple monsters, depending on the level of the
+ dungeon. The player can always identify a current
+ monster by using the identify command ('/').
+

+

3.3 The Status Section

+

+ The bottom two lines of the screen describe the player's current status. The + first line gives the player's characteristics: +

+ +

+ Intelligence, strength, wisdom, dexterity, and constitution have a normal + maximum of 25, but can be higher when augmented by a ring. Encumbrance is a + measurement of how much the player can carry versus how much he is currently + carrying. The more you carry relative to your maximum causes you to use more + food.

+

+ The second status line provides the following information: +

+ +

4. COMMANDS

+

+ A player can invoke most Rogue commands by typing a single character. Some + commands, however, require a direction, in which case the player types the + command character followed by a directional command. Many commands can be + prefaced by a number, indicating how many times the command should be + executed.

+

+ When the player invokes a command referring to an item in the player's pack + (such as reading a scroll), the game prompts for the item. The player should + then type the letter associated with the item, as displayed by the inventory + command. Typing a '*' at this point produces a list of the eligible items.

+

Rogue understands the following commands:

+

+ + + + +
?   Preceding a command by a '?' produces a brief explanation of the command. The + command '?*' gives an explanation of all the commands.
