Roguelike Gallery (rlgallery.org)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the source code for the Roguelike Gallery's version of Rogue V4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
History
|
||
|
|
Rogue 4.2 was released by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, probably
|
||
|
|
early in 1982. Several updates were issued, and the major version number was
|
||
|
|
incremented, so the last of the series was Rogue 5.2, released April 1982.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Roguelike Restoration Project (rogue.rogueforge.net) updated the game to
|
||
|
|
work on modern systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Roguelike Gallery's version has been slightly modified for compatibility
|
||
|
|
with dgamelaunch and security for multiple players.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing
|
||
|
|
First, configure for your system by editing the makefile. The CFLAGS and SF
|
||
|
|
lines contain four defines (-DSOMETHING=filename). (This is an awkward
|
||
|
|
configuration method which I plan to change soon.) The defaults are for
|
||
|
|
a system-wide installation, which will require setgid on the binary. For a
|
||
|
|
single-user installation, remove SAVEDIR and set the other three to locations
|
||
|
|
somewhere in your home directory. (That's probably the best thing to do on
|
||
|
|
Windows, too.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once that's finished, compile by running make. On Windows, I haven't tested
|
||
|
|
the Visual Studio project files; the game should build, but the scorefile
|
||
|
|
might not work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want multi-user play, install the rogue binary with setgid games. You
|
||
|
|
will need to make sure that SAVEDIR exists and that savefiles, SCOREFILE,
|
||
|
|
LOCKFILE and LOGFILE can be created and written by the games group (assuming
|
||
|
|
you want those features.) For a single user, you shouldn't need to install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Playing
|
||
|
|
For more details, see rogue.6 (the man page) and rogue.me (Michael Toy's "Guide
|
||
|
|
to the Dungeons of Doom"). Troff format is a little outdated, but you should
|
||
|
|
be able to discover something with a text editor. I plan to add versions in
|
||
|
|
more common formats soon.
