Since the project is still under rapid development, details may change.</p> +<h2>Browser Compatibility</h2> +<p>RLG-Web has been tested using Firefox and Chrome; there should be no problems with recent versions of these two browsers. Safari and Opera ought to +work, though they haven't been tested yet. Internet Explorer 9 is compatible, but older versions might not be.</p> +<h2>Starting Games</h2> +<p>If you have already registered an account, you can log in. If not, create one with the "New name" button. Once logged in, RLG-Web will list your +saved games and let you resume them or start new ones.</p> +<p>If there are games being played, you can watch them whether you are logged in or not.</p> +<p>Use the "Stop" button to stop watching a game, or to force a game you are playing to save.</p> +<h2>Playing Games</h2> +<p>The games can be difficult to learn if you are not familiar with ASCII roguelikes. The '?' key will tell you what each key does. An 'S' will save +your game, and a 'Q' will quit.</p> +<p>The original method of moving around was with the vi-keys.</p> +<table style="font-size: 2em; margin: 0 5em"> +<tr><td>y</td><td>k</td><td>u</td></tr> +<tr><td>h</td><td>.</td><td>l</td></tr> +<tr><td>b</td><td>j</td><td>n</td></tr> +</table> +<p>This is the most reliable way of exploring.</p> +<p>You can also move with arrow keys, or with the number pad, if your browser recognizes those keys. If it doesn't, the simulated keyboard can imitate +them.</p> +<p>Note: Super-Rogue does not work with the arrow keys or the number pad yet.</p> +<h2>Saving Games</h2> +<p>If you accidentally close your browser, don't worry. If RLG-Web does not hear from you for a whole hour, it assumes you have gone away, and +automatically saves your game. Your strength 18 character with the two-handed sword on level 22 is safe from bugs. But the dragons are sure to get him.</p> +<h2>Accounts and Passwords</h2> +<p>rlgallery.org doesn't use https yet, so you should not assume your password is safe. Don't use the same one you use on your bank's website, etc.</p> +<p>You don't have to supply a valid e-mail address. It will only be used if you ask to have your password reset.</p> +<h2>Missing Features</h2> +<p>You can't watch games that are being played in dgamelaunch yet. The opposite situation works: you can use dgamelaunch to watch games being played +in RLG-Web.</p> +<p>You can't change your password or e-mail address yet. You will have to log in via ssh to do this, for now.</p> +</body> +</html>
