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.)
On Unix, you can use the "./configure && make && make install" method. If
you don't need a system-wide installation, you should be able to ignore all
the options for "configure" and leave off the "make install".
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, run configure with the proper options ("configure
--help" will explain what they do.) The important ones are savedir (where
saved games are stored), scorefile (the high score list), and logfile (the log
of all games played).
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.
On Windows, I haven't tested the Visual Studio project files; the game should
build, but the scorefile might not work.
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 Troff format is a little outdated, but you should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.
