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
|
|
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".
|
|
|
|
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). You should probably also use '--enable-setgid=games' and
|
|
'--disable-lockfile'.
|
|
|
|
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 rogue4.6 (the man page) and rogue4.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 Troff format is a little outdated, but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.
