Maintenance also includes the never-ending quest to fix bugs.</p> <p>In pursuing this goal, the Gallery continues the work of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/rogue.rogueforge.net">Roguelike Restoration Project</a>.</p> <h2>Public Play</h2> <p>The Gallery also runs a public server allowing anyone to play the roguelike games.</p> <p>By providing this service, the Gallery hopes to recover some of the gameplay environment in the university computer labs of the 1980's where Rogue was born. Similar projects include <a href="https://alt.org/nethack/">nethack.alt.org</a>, the DCSS server network, and many other sites.</p> <h2>Information Source</h2> <p>The Gallery provides information about roguelike games through this Web site. This includes documentation and other articles about roguelike gameplay, history, or current events.</p> <p>There are many other sources of roguelike information on the Internet. <a href="http://www.roguebasin.com">RogueBasin</a> is one of the most well-known.</p> <h2>Early Roguelike Collection</h2> <ul> <li><a href="rogue3.html">About Rogue V3</a></li> <li><a href="rogue4.html">About Rogue V4</a></li> <li><a href="rogue5.html">About Rogue V5</a></li> <li><a href="srogue.html">About Super-Rogue</a></li> <li><a href="arogue5.html">About Advanced Rogue 5</a></li> <li><a href="arogue7.html">About Advanced Rogue 7</a></li> <li><a href="xrogue.html">About XRogue</a></li> </ul> <h2>Other information</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://icemonster.rlgallery.org/hg/">Mercurial repository</a> <a href="https://bitbucket.org/ElwinR/rl">(backup)</a></li> <li><a href="ttyrec.html">ttyrec files</a></li> </ul> <h2>Server Technology</h2> <p>rlgallery.org is hosted by <a href="https://www.linode.com/">Linode</a>. The server is currently running <a href="https://getfedora.org/">Fedora</a>.</p> <p>The Gallery also makes use of <a href="ftp://ftp.alt.org/pub/dgamelaunch/">dgamelaunch</a> and <a href="https://www.lighttpd.net/">lighttpd</a>. Score data is stored using <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a>.</p> <p>The Web player was created with <a href="https://nodejs.org/">node.js</a>.</p> <h2>Support</h2> <p>The Gallery does not currently need donations.
