Early Roguelike Collection
fdc346deb1
The save_file() function in save.c stored the savefile's device number, inode number, creation time, and modification time in the file. The restore() function read them back, and apparently used to compare them to protect against cheaters. Unfortunately, the types and sizes of these numbers differ from system to system, which ruins the Roguelike Restoration Project's fine portability work. So they have been removed from the savefile. This BREAKS SAVEFILE COMPATIBILITY, but old files can be converted by excising the chunk starting at offset 0x22 with length sizeof(ino_t) + sizeof(dev_t) + 2 * sizeof(time_t). That's 0x14 on i686 and 0x20 on x86_64, at least with current versions of Linux and glibc. |

This is the source for the Roguelike Gallery's versions of Rogue and other early roguelike games. The code was obtained from the Roguelike Restoration Project (rogue.rogueforge.net). Modifications have been made mainly for compatibility with the dgamelaunch online play system. Some bugs have also been fixed, and the build process slightly improved. The essential flavor of a codebase half as old as stored-program computing machinery remains unchanged. See the individual games' subdirectories for their documentation. The games can be played via SSH or the Web at rlgallery.org.
