<p>This game is a version of Rogue 5.2. It was originally written by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, released in April 1982,
and distributed with BSD. It is called V4 because it has more in common with the previous 4.x releases than with the 5.x versions which followed it.</p>

<h1>Super-Rogue</h1>
<div class="nav"><a href="/">rlgallery.org</a> -&gt; <a href="/about/">About</a> -&gt; Super-Rogue</div>
<div class="content">
<p>Super-Rogue was developed from <a href="rogue3.html">Rogue 3.6</a> by Robert Kindelberger, who added many new monsters and items. It
was completed in 1984.</p>
<p>Some of Super-Rogue's features, such as shops, mazes, and cockatrices, appeared in the original Hack at about the same time.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://rogue.rogueforge.net/">Roguelike Restoration Project</a> updated Super-Rogue to run on modern systems.</p>
<p>The Roguelike Gallery modified Super-Rogue to work with rlgallery.org's system, and fixed a few bugs which made winning easy.</p>
<p>The source code is <a href="/files/srogue-svn60.tar.gz">available for download</a>. Warning: I haven't gotten to the documentation yet.</p>

<h1>TTYREC files</h1>
<div class="nav"><a href="/">rlgallery.org</a> -&gt; <a href="/about/">About</a> -&gt; TTYRECs</div>
<div class="content">
<p>TTYREC files are recordings of text-based sessions, much like screencasts are recordings of graphical sessions. The Roguelike Gallery and other roguelike
sites create ttyrec recordings of games played online, so that others can watch them. The <a href="/archive.cgi">Archiver</a> will search rlgallery.org's
ttyrecs for you.</p>
<p>As you might expect, ttyrecs are not video files that can be played in video players. They contain mostly text, and you will need a ttyrec player to
watch them.</p>
<p><a href="http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/">The original ttyrec program</a> comes with ttyplay.</p>
<p><a href="http://angband.pl/termrec.html">Termrec</a> includes termplay, which is easy to use and works on Windows.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/ipbt/">IPBT</a> is a newer player that allows you to rewind while playing.</p>
<p>A ttyrec produced on one kind of terminal will not play properly on a different kind of terminal. Most modern terminals are similar and should produce
compatible ttyrecs, but you might come across a file that won't work.</p>
<p>Replaying also might not work properly if your terminal is a different size from the one that produced the ttyrec. If things are getting drawn in the
wrong places, try making your terminal bigger. Unfortunately, ttyrecs don't tell you what the proper size is.</p>
<p>(But it can sometimes be deduced, if you don't mind poking around with a hex editor. Check near the beginning for the sequence
<span class="metavar">&lt;escape&gt;</span>[1;<span class="metavar">&lt;number of rows&gt;</span>r )</p>
<p>Note: if you are using ipbt, you must also tell ipbt what size terminal to use. Check ipbt's documentation.</p>
