+This page explains RLG-Web and how to use it. Since the project is still under rapid development, details may change.
+RLG-Web has been tested using Firefox and Chrome; there should be no problems with recent versions of these two browsers. Safari and Opera ought to +work, though they haven't been tested yet. Internet Explorer 9 is compatible, but older versions might not be.
+If you have already registered an account, you can log in. If not, create one with the "New name" button. Once logged in, RLG-Web will list your +saved games and let you resume them or start new ones.
+If there are games being played, you can watch them whether you are logged in or not.
+Use the "Stop" button to stop watching a game, or to force a game you are playing to save.
+The games can be difficult to learn if you are not familiar with ASCII roguelikes. The '?' key will tell you what each key does. An 'S' will save +your game, and a 'Q' will quit.
+The original method of moving around was with the vi-keys.
+| y | k | u |
| h | . | l |
| b | j | n |
This is the most reliable way of exploring.
+You can also move with arrow keys, or with the number pad, if your browser recognizes those keys. If it doesn't, the simulated keyboard can imitate +them.
+Note: Super-Rogue does not work with the arrow keys or the number pad yet.
+If you accidentally close your browser, don't worry. If RLG-Web does not hear from you for a whole hour, it assumes you have gone away, and +automatically saves your game. Your strength 18 character with the two-handed sword on level 22 is safe from bugs. But the dragons are sure to get him.
+rlgallery.org doesn't use https yet, so you should not assume your password is safe. Don't use the same one you use on your bank's website, etc.
+You don't have to supply a valid e-mail address. It will only be used if you ask to have your password reset.
+You can't watch games that are being played in dgamelaunch yet. The opposite situation works: you can use dgamelaunch to watch games being played +in RLG-Web.
+You can't change your password or e-mail address yet. You will have to log in via ssh to do this, for now.
