Super-Rogue

rlgallery.org -> About -> Super-Rogue

Super-Rogue was developed from Rogue 3.6 by Robert Kindelberger, who added many new monsters and items. It +was completed in 1984.

Some of Super-Rogue's features, such as shops, mazes, and cockatrices, appeared in the original Hack at about the same time.

The Roguelike Restoration Project updated Super-Rogue to run on modern systems.

The Roguelike Gallery modified Super-Rogue to work with rlgallery.org's system, and fixed a few bugs which made winning easy.

The source code is available for download. Warning: I haven't gotten to the documentation yet.

TTYREC files

rlgallery.org -> About -> TTYRECs

TTYREC files are recordings of text-based sessions, much like screencasts are recordings of graphical sessions. The Roguelike Gallery and other roguelike +sites create ttyrec recordings of games played online, so that others can watch them. The Archiver will search rlgallery.org's +ttyrecs for you.

As you might expect, ttyrecs are not video files that can be played in video players. They contain mostly text, and you will need a ttyrec player to +watch them.

The original ttyrec program comes with ttyplay.

Termrec includes termplay, which is easy to use and works on Windows.

IPBT is a newer player that allows you to rewind while playing.

A ttyrec produced on one kind of terminal will not play properly on a different kind of terminal. Most modern terminals are similar and should produce +compatible ttyrecs, but you might come across a file that won't work.

Replaying also might not work properly if your terminal is a different size from the one that produced the ttyrec. If things are getting drawn in the +wrong places, try making your terminal bigger. Unfortunately, ttyrecs don't tell you what the proper size is.

(But it can sometimes be deduced, if you don't mind poking around with a hex editor. Check near the beginning for the sequence +<escape>[1;<number of rows>r )

Note: if you are using ipbt, you must also tell ipbt what size terminal to use. Check ipbt's documentation.
