.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Rogue
|
|
is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the
|
|
object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
|
|
a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
|
|
fantasy games.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command
|
|
.B ?
|
|
will give you a list of the available commands and the command
|
|
.B /
|
|
will identify the things you see on the screen.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
|
|
scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
|
|
the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this
|
|
yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
|
|
among heros.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
|
|
some miracle) manage to win,
|
|
.I rogue
|
|
will give you a list of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely
|
|
upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself
|
|
killed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For more detailed directions, read the document
|
|
.I "A Guide to the Dungeons of Doom."
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a
|
|
.I save_file
|
|
argument is given,
|
|
.I rogue
|
|
will attempt to load a previously saved game from that file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
With the
|
|
.B -n
|
|
option,
|
|
.I rogue
|
|
will load a game with the name
|
|
.I playername
|
|
from a location defined at compile time. If no such game exists, it will
|
|
start one.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B -s
|
|
option prints the top-ten scores list and exits.

.SH BUGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
Probably infinite. Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still hungry
|
|
even after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the screen in
|
|
reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump.
