<h2 align="justify"><b>1. Introduction</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">You have just finished your years as a
|
||||
student at the local fighter’s guild. After much
|
||||
practice and sweat you have finally completed your training
|
||||
and are ready to embark upon a perilous adventure. As a test
|
||||
of your skills, the local guildmasters have sent you into
|
||||
the Dungeons of Doom. Your task is to return with the Amulet
|
||||
of Yendor. Your reward for the completion of this task will
|
||||
be a full membership in the local guild. In addition, you
|
||||
are allowed to keep all the loot you bring back from the
|
||||
dungeons.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">In preparation for your journey, you are
|
||||
given an enchanted sword, taken
|
||||
from a dragon’s hoard in the far off Dark Mountains.
|
||||
You are also outfitted with elf-crafted armor and given
|
||||
enough food to reach the dungeons. You say goodbye to family
|
||||
and friends for what may be the last time and head up the
|
||||
road.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">You set out on your way to the dungeons and
|
||||
after several days of uneventful travel, you see the
|
||||
ancient ruins that mark the entrance to the Dungeons of
|
||||
Doom. It is late at night so you make camp at the entrance
|
||||
and spend the night sleeping under the open skies. In the
|
||||
morning you gather your sword, put on your armor, eat what
|
||||
is almost your last food and enter the
|
||||
dungeons.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 align="justify"><b>2. What is going on here?</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">You have just begun a game of rogue. Your
|
||||
goal is to grab as much treasure as you can, find the Amulet
|
||||
of Yendor, and get out of the Dungeons of Doom alive. On the
|
||||
screen, a map of where you have been and what you have seen
|
||||
on the current dungeon level is kept. As you explore more of
|
||||
the level, it appears on the screen in front of
|
||||
you.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Rogue differs from most computer fantasy
|
||||
games in that it is screen oriented. Commands are all one or
|
||||
two keystrokes<sup>1 </sup>and the
|
||||
results of your commands are displayed graphically on the
|
||||
screen rather than being explained in words<sup>2</sup>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Another major difference between rogue and
|
||||
other computer fantasy games is that once you have solved
|
||||
all the puzzles in a standard fantasy game, it has lost most
|
||||
of its excitement and it ceases to be fun. Rogue on the
|
||||
other hand generates a new dungeon every time you play it
|
||||
and even the author finds it an entertaining and exciting
|
||||
game.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 align="justify"><b>3. What do all those things on the screen mean?</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">In order to understand what is going on in
|
||||
rogue you have to first get some grasp of what rogue is
|
||||
doing with the screen. The rogue screen is intended to
|
||||
replace the “You can see ...” descriptions of
|
||||
standard fantasy games. Here is a sample of what a
|
||||
rogue screen might look like.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div align="center"><pre>

|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">At the bottom line of the screen is a few
|
||||
pieces of cryptic information describing your current
|
||||
status. Here is an explanation of what these things
|
||||
mean:</p>

<p align="justify">The top line of the screen is reserved for
|

printing messages that describe things that are impossible
|

to represent visually. If you see a “--More--”

on the top line, this means that rogue wants to print
|

another message on the screen, but it wants to make certain
|

that you have read the one that is there first. To read the

next message, just type a space.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">When you find something in the dungeon, it is common to
|
||||
want to pick the object up. This is accomplished in rogue by
|
||||
walking over the object. If you are carrying too many
|
||||
things, the program will tell you and it won’t pick up
|
||||
the object, otherwise it will add it to your pack and if the
|
||||
notify option is set, tell you what you just picked up.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Many of the commands that operate on objects must prompt
|
||||
you to find out which object you want to use. If you change
|
||||
your mind and don’t want to do that command after all,
|
||||
just press an escape and the command will be aborted.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 align="justify"><b>6. Light</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Rooms in the dungeons are either lit or dark. If you
|
||||
walk into a lit room, the entire room will be drawn on the
|
||||
screen as soon as you enter. If you walk into a dark room,
|
||||
it will only be displayed as you explore it. Upon leaving a
|
||||
dark room, all objects inside the room which might move are
|
||||
removed from the screen. In the darkness you can only see
|
||||
one space in all directions around you.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 align="justify"><b>7. Fighting</b></h2>
|
||||
<p align="justify">If you see a monster and you wish to fight it, just
|
||||
attempt to run into it. Many times a monster you find will
|
||||
mind its own business unless you attack it. It is often the
|
||||
case that discretion is the better part of valor.</p>

<h2 align="justify">8<b>. Armor</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">There are various sorts of armor lying around in the
|
||||
dungeon. Some of it is enchanted, some is cursed and some is
|
||||
just normal. Different armor types have different armor
|
||||
classes. The lower the armor class, the more protection the
|
||||
armor affords against the blows of monsters. If a piece of
|
||||
armor is enchanted or cursed, its armor class will be higher
|
||||
or lower than normal. Here is a list of the various armor
|

types and their normal armor class.</p>

<h2 align="justify">9<b>. Options</b></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Due to variations in personal tastes and conceptions of
|
||||
the way rogue should do things, there are a set of options
|
||||
you can set that cause rogue to behave in various different
|
||||
ways.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 align="justify"><b>9.1 Setting the options</b></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">There are basically two ways to set the options. The
|
||||
first is with the "o" command of rogue, the second
|
||||
is with the ROGUEOPTS environment variable. On Version 6
|
||||
systems, there is no equivalent of the ROGUEOPTS
|
||||
feature.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 align="justify"><b>9.1.1. Using the "o" command</b></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">When you press "o" in rogue, it clears the
|
||||
screen and displays the current settings for all the
|
||||
options. It then places the cursor by the value of the first
|
||||
option and waits for you to type. You can type a RETURN
|
||||
which means to go to the next option, a "−"
|
||||
which means to go to the previous option, an escape which
|
||||
means to return to the game, or you can give the option a
|
||||
value. For boolean options this merely involves pressing
|
||||
"t" for true or "f" for false. For
|
||||
string options, type the new value followed by a return.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 align="justify">9<b>.1.2. Using the ROGUEOPTS variable</b></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">The ROGUEOPTS variable is a string containing a comma
|
||||
separated list of initial values for the various options.
|
||||
Boolean variables can be turned on by listing their name and
|
||||
turned off by putting a "no" in front of the name.
|
||||
Thus to set up an environment variable so that jump is on,
|
||||
terse is off, the name is set to "Conan the
|
||||
Barbarian" and the fruit is "mango", use the
|
||||
command</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div align="justify"><pre>
|
||||
% setenv ROGUEOPTS "jump,noterse,name=Conan the Barbarian,fruit=mango"<sup>3</sup>
|
||||
</pre></div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 align="justify"><b>9.2. Option list</b></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify">Here is a list of the options and an explanation of what
|
||||
each one is for. The default value for each is enclosed in
|
||||
square brackets.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>terse</b>[<i>noterse</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">
|
||||
Useful for those who are tired of the sometimes lengthy
|
||||
messages of rogue. This is a useful option for those on slow
|
||||
terminals. This option defaults to on if your are on a slow
|
||||
(under 1200 baud) terminal.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>jump</b>[<i>nojump</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">If this option is set, running moves will not be
|
||||
displayed until you reach the end of the move. This saves
|
||||
considerable cpu time and display time. This option defaults
|
||||
to on if you are using a slow terminal.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>step</b>[<i>nostep</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">When step is set, lists of things, like inventories or
|
||||
"*" responses to "Which item do you wish to
|
||||
xxxx? " questions, are displayed one item at a time on
|
||||
the top of the screen, rather than clearing the screen,
|
||||
displaying the list, then re-displaying the dungeon
|
||||
level.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>flush</b>[<i>noflush</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">If flush is set, all typeahead is thrown away after each
|
||||
round of battle. This is useful for those who type way ahead
|
||||
and watch to their dismay as a Kobold kills them.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>askme</b>[<i>noaskme</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">Upon reading a scroll or quaffing a potion which does
|
||||
not automatically identify it upon use, rogue will ask you
|
||||
what to name it so you can recognize it in the future.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>name</b> [account name]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">This is the name of your character. It is used if you
|
||||
get on the top ten scorer’s list. It should be less
|
||||
than eighty characters long.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>fruit</b>[<i>slime-mold</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">This should hold the name of a fruit that you enjoy
|
||||
eating. It is basically a whimsy that the program uses in a
|
||||
couple of places.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="justify"><b>file</b>[<i>rogue.save</i>]</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p align="justify">The default file name for saving the game. If your phone
|
||||
is hung up by accident, rogue will automatically save the
|
||||
game in this file. The file name may contain the special
|
||||
character "~" which expands to be your home
|
||||
directory.</p>
