.sh 1 Introduction
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
You have just finished your years as a student at the local fighter's guild.
|
||||
After much practice and sweat you have finally completed your training
|
||||
and are ready to embark upon a perilous adventure.
|
||||
As a test of your skills,
|
||||
the local guildmasters have sent you into the Dungeons of Doom.
|
||||
Your task is to return with the Amulet of Yendor.
|
||||
Your reward for the completion of this task
|
||||
will be a full membership in the local guild.
|
||||
In addition,
|
||||
you are allowed to keep all the loot you bring back from the dungeons.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
In preparation for your journey,
|
||||
you are given an enchanted mace,
|
||||
a bow, and a quiver of arrows
|
||||
taken from a dragon's hoard in the far off Dark Mountains.
|
||||
You are also outfitted with elf-crafted armor
|
||||
and given enough food to reach the dungeons.
|
||||
You say goodbye to family and friends for what may be the last time
|
||||
and head up the road.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
You set out on your way to the dungeons
|
||||
and after several days of uneventful travel,
|
||||
you see the ancient ruins
|
||||
that mark the entrance to the Dungeons of Doom.
|
||||
It is late at night,
|
||||
so you make camp at the entrance
|
||||
and spend the night sleeping under the open skies.
|
||||
In the morning you gather your weapons,
|
||||
put on your armor,
|
||||
eat what is almost your last food,
|
||||
and enter the dungeons.
|
||||
.sh 1 "What is going on here?"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
You have just begun a game of rogue.
|
||||
Your goal is to grab as much treasure as you can,
|
||||
find the Amulet of Yendor,
|
||||
and get out of the Dungeons of Doom alive.
|
||||
On the screen,
|
||||
a map of where you have been
|
||||
and what you have seen on the current dungeon level is kept.
|
||||
As you explore more of the level,
|
||||
it appears on the screen in front of you.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Rogue differs from most computer fantasy games in that it is screen oriented.
|
||||
Commands are all one or two keystrokes\**
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\** As opposed to pseudo English sentences.
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
and the results of your commands
|
||||
are displayed graphically on the screen rather
|
||||
than being explained in words.\**
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\** A minimum screen size of 24 lines by 80 columns is required.
|
||||
If the screen is larger, only the 24x80 section will be used
|
||||
for the map.
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Another major difference between rogue and other computer fantasy games
|
||||
is that once you have solved all the puzzles in a standard fantasy game,
|
||||
it has lost most of its excitement and it ceases to be fun.
|
||||
Rogue,
|
||||
on the other hand,
|
||||
generates a new dungeon every time you play it
|
||||
and even the author finds it an entertaining and exciting game.
|
||||
.sh 1 "What do all those things on the screen mean?"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
In order to understand what is going on in rogue
|
||||
you have to first get some grasp of what rogue is doing with the screen.
|
||||
The rogue screen is intended
|
||||
to replace the \*(lqYou can see ...\*(rq descriptions
|
||||
of standard fantasy games.
|
||||
Figure 1 is a sample of what a rogue screen might look like.

.sh 2 "The bottom line"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
At the bottom line of the screen
|
||||
are a few pieces of cryptic information
|
||||
describing your current status.
|
||||
Here is an explanation of what these things mean:
|
||||
.ip Level \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
This number indicates how deep you have gone in the dungeon.
|
||||
It starts at one and goes up as you go deeper into the dungeon.
|
||||
.ip Gold \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
The number of gold pieces you have managed to find
|
||||
and keep with you so far.
|
||||
.ip Hp \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
Your current and maximum health points.
|
||||
Health points indicate how much damage you can take before you die.
|
||||
The more you get hit in a fight,
|
||||
the lower they get.
|
||||
You can regain health points by resting.
|
||||
The number in parentheses
|
||||
is the maximum number your health points can reach.
|
||||
.ip Str \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
Your current strength and maximum ever strength.
|
||||
This can be any integer less than or equal to 99,
|
||||
or greater than or equal to 1.
|
||||
The higher the number,
|
||||
the stronger you are.
|
||||
The number in the parentheses
|
||||
is the maximum strength you have attained so far this game.
|
||||
.ip Arm \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
Your current armor protection.
|
||||
This number indicates how effective your armor is
|
||||
in stopping blows from unfriendly creatures.
|
||||
The higher this number is,
|
||||
the more effective the armor.
|
||||
.ip Exp \w'Level\ \ 'u
|
||||
These two numbers give your current experience level
|
||||
and experience points.
|
||||
As you do things,
|
||||
you gain experience points.
|
||||
At certain experience point totals,
|
||||
you gain an experience level.
|
||||
The more experienced you are,
|
||||
the better you are able to fight and to withstand magical attacks.
|
||||
.sh 2 "The top line"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
The top line of the screen is reserved
|
||||
for printing messages that describe things
|
||||
that are impossible to represent visually.
|
||||
If you see a \*(lq--More--\*(rq on the top line,
|
||||
this means that rogue wants to print another message on the screen,
|
||||
but it wants to make certain
|
||||
that you have read the one that is there first.
|
||||
To read the next message,
|
||||
just type a space.
|
||||
.sh 2 "The rest of the screen"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
The rest of the screen is the map of the level
|
||||
as you have explored it so far.
|
||||
Each symbol on the screen represents something.
|
||||
Here is a list of what the various symbols mean:
|
||||
.ip @
|
||||
This symbol represents you, the adventurer.
|
||||
.ip "-\^|"
|
||||
These symbols represent the walls of rooms.
|
||||
.ip +
|
||||
A door to/from a room.
|
||||
.ip .
|
||||
The floor of a room.
|
||||
.ip #
|
||||
The floor of a passage between rooms.
|
||||
.ip *
|
||||
A pile or pot of gold.
|
||||
.ip )
|
||||
A weapon of some sort.
|
||||
.ip ]
|
||||
A piece of armor.
|
||||
.ip !
|
||||
A flask containing a magic potion.
|
||||
.ip ?
|
||||
A piece of paper, usually a magic scroll.
|
||||
.ip =
|
||||
A ring with magic properties
|
||||
.ip /
|
||||
A magical staff or wand
|
||||
.ip ^
|
||||
A trap, watch out for these.
|
||||
.ip %
|
||||
A staircase to other levels
|
||||
.ip :
|
||||
A piece of food.
|
||||
.ip A-Z
|
||||
The uppercase letters
|
||||
represent the various inhabitants of the Dungeons of Doom.
|
||||
Watch out, they can be nasty and vicious.
|
||||
.sh 1 Commands
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Commands are given to rogue by typing one or two characters.
|
||||
Most commands can be preceded by a count to repeat them
|
||||
(e.g. typing
|
||||
.Cs 10s
|
||||
will do ten searches).
|
||||
Commands for which counts make no sense
|
||||
have the count ignored.
|
||||
To cancel a count or a prefix,
|
||||
type \*E.
|
||||
The list of commands is rather long,
|
||||
but it can be read at any time during the game with the
|
||||
.Cs ?
|
||||
command.
|
||||
Here it is for reference,
|
||||
with a short explanation of each command.
|
||||
.ip ?
|
||||
The help command.
|
||||
Asks for a character to give help on.
|
||||
If you type a
|
||||
.Cs * ,
|
||||
it will list all the commands,
|
||||
otherwise it will explain what the character you typed does.
|
||||
.ip /
|
||||
This is the \*(lqWhat is that on the screen?\*(rq command.
|
||||
A
|
||||
.Cs /
|
||||
followed by any character that you see on the level,
|
||||
will tell you what that character is.
|
||||
For instance,
|
||||
typing
|
||||
.Cs /@
|
||||
will tell you that the
|
||||
.Cs @
|
||||
symbol represents you, the player.
|
||||
.ip "h, H, ^H"
|
||||
Move left.
|
||||
You move one space to the left.
|
||||
If you use upper case
|
||||
.Cs h ,
|
||||
you will continue to move left until you run into something.
|
||||
This works for all movement commands
|
||||
(e.g.
|
||||
.Cs L
|
||||
means run in direction
|
||||
.Cs l )
|
||||
If you use the \*(lqcontrol\*(rq
|
||||
.Cs h ,
|
||||
you will continue moving in the specified direction
|
||||
until you pass something interesting or run into a wall.
|
||||
You should experiment with this,
|
||||
since it is a very useful command,
|
||||
but very difficult to describe.
|
||||
This also works for all movement commands.
|
||||
.ip j
|
||||
Move down.
|
||||
.ip k
|
||||
Move up.
|
||||
.ip l
|
||||
Move right.
|
||||
.ip y
|
||||
Move diagonally up and left.
|
||||
.ip u
|
||||
Move diagonally up and right.
|
||||
.ip b
|
||||
Move diagonally down and left.
|
||||
.ip n
|
||||
Move diagonally down and right.
|
||||
.ip t
|
||||
Throw an object.
|
||||
This is a prefix command.
|
||||
When followed with a direction
|
||||
it throws an object in the specified direction.
|
||||
(e.g. type
|
||||
.Cs th
|
||||
to throw
|
||||
something to the left.)
|
||||
.ip f
|
||||
Fight until someone dies.
|
||||
When followed with a direction
|
||||
this will force you to fight the creature in that direction
|
||||
until either you or it bites the big one.
|
||||
.ip m
|
||||
Move onto something without picking it up.
|
||||
This will move you one space in the direction you specify and,
|
||||
if there is an object there you can pick up,
|
||||
it won't do it.
|
||||
.ip z
|
||||
Zap prefix.
|
||||
Point a staff or wand in a given direction
|
||||
and fire it.
|
||||
Even non-directional staves must be pointed in some direction
|
||||
to be used.
|
||||
.ip ^
|
||||
Identify trap command.
|
||||
If a trap is on your map
|
||||
and you can't remember what type it is,
|
||||
you can get rogue to remind you
|
||||
by getting next to it and typing
|
||||
.Cs ^
|
||||
followed by the direction that would move you on top of it.
|
||||
.ip s
|
||||
Search for traps and secret doors.
|
||||
Examine each space immediately adjacent to you
|
||||
for the existence of a trap or secret door.
|
||||
There is a large chance that even if there is something there,
|
||||
you won't find it,
|
||||
so you might have to search a while before you find something.
|
||||
.ip >
|
||||
Climb down a staircase to the next level.
|
||||
Not surprisingly, this can only be done if you are standing on staircase.
|
||||
.ip <
|
||||
Climb up a staircase to the level above.
|
||||
This can't be done without the Amulet of Yendor in your possession.
|
||||
.ip "."
|
||||
Rest.
|
||||
This is the \*(lqdo nothing\*(rq command.
|
||||
This is good for waiting and healing.
|
||||
.ip ,
|
||||
Pick up something.
|
||||
This picks up whatever you are currently standing on,
|
||||
if you are standing on anything at all.
|
||||
.ip i
|
||||
Inventory.
|
||||
List what you are carrying in your pack.
|
||||
.ip I
|
||||
Selective inventory.
|
||||
Tells you what a single item in your pack is.
|
||||
.ip q
|
||||
Quaff one of the potions you are carrying.
|
||||
.ip r
|
||||
Read one of the scrolls in your pack.
|
||||
.ip e
|
||||
Eat food from your pack.
|
||||
.ip w
|
||||
Wield a weapon.
|
||||
Take a weapon out of your pack and carry it for use in combat,
|
||||
replacing the one you are currently using (if any).
|
||||
.ip W
|
||||
Wear armor.
|
||||
You can only wear one suit of armor at a time.
|
||||
This takes extra time.
|
||||
.ip T
|
||||
Take armor off.
|
||||
You can't remove armor that is cursed.
|
||||
This takes extra time.
|
||||
.ip P
|
||||
Put on a ring.
|
||||
You can wear only two rings at a time
|
||||
(one on each hand).
|
||||
If you aren't wearing any rings,
|
||||
this command will ask you which hand you want to wear it on,
|
||||
otherwise, it will place it on the unused hand.
|
||||
The program assumes that you wield your sword in your right hand.
|
||||
.ip R
|
||||
Remove a ring.
|
||||
If you are only wearing one ring,
|
||||
this command takes it off.
|
||||
If you are wearing two,
|
||||
it will ask you which one you wish to remove,
|
||||
.ip d
|
||||
Drop an object.
|
||||
Take something out of your pack and leave it lying on the floor.
|
||||
Only one object can occupy each space.
|
||||
You cannot drop a cursed object at all
|
||||
if you are wielding or wearing it.
|
||||
.ip c
|
||||
Call an object something.
|
||||
If you have a type of object in your pack
|
||||
which you wish to remember something about,
|
||||
you can use the call command to give a name to that type of object.
|
||||
This is usually used when you figure out what a
|
||||
potion, scroll, ring, or staff is
|
||||
after you pick it up but before it is truly identified. Each type of
|
||||
scroll and potion will become identified after its first use.
|
||||
.ip o
|
||||
Examine and set options.
|
||||
This command is further explained in the section on options.
|
||||
.ip ^R
|
||||
Redraws the screen.
|
||||
Useful if spurious messages or transmission errors
|
||||
have messed up the display.
|
||||
.ip ^P
|
||||
Print last message.
|
||||
Useful when a message disappears before you can read it.
|
||||
Consecutive repetitions of this command will reveal the last
|
||||
five messages.
|
||||
.ip \*E
|
||||
Cancel a command, prefix, or count.
|
||||
.ip !
|
||||
Escape to a shell for some commands.
|
||||
.ip Q
|
||||
Quit.
|
||||
Leave the game.
|
||||
.ip S
|
||||
Save the current game in a file.
|
||||
It will ask you whether you wish to use the default save file.
|
||||
.i Caveat :
|
||||
Rogue won't let you start up a copy of a saved game,
|
||||
and it removes the save file as soon as you start up a restored game.
|
||||
This is to prevent people from saving a game just before a dangerous position
|
||||
and then restarting it if they die.
|
||||
To restore a saved game,
|
||||
give the file name as an argument to rogue.
|
||||
As in
|
||||
.ti +1i
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
% rogue \fIsave\*_file\fP
|
||||
.ip v
|
||||
Prints the program version number.
|
||||
.ip )
|
||||
Print the weapon you are currently wielding

.sh 1 Rooms
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Rooms in the dungeons are lit as you enter them.
|
||||
Upon leaving a room,
|
||||
all monsters inside the room are erased from the screen.
|
||||
In the darkness of a corridor, you can only see one space
|
||||
in all directions around you.
|
||||
.sh 1 Fighting
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
If you see a monster and you wish to fight it,
|
||||
just attempt to run into it.
|
||||
Many times a monster you find will mind its own business
|
||||
unless you attack it.
|
||||
It is often the case that discretion is the better part of valor.
|
||||
.sh 1 "Objects you can find"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
When you find something in the dungeon,
|
||||
it is common to want to pick the object up.
|
||||
This is accomplished in rogue by walking over the object
|
||||
(unless you use the
|
||||
.Cs m
|
||||
prefix, see above).
|
||||
If you are carrying too many things,
|
||||
the program will tell you and it won't pick up the object,
|
||||
otherwise it will add it to your pack
|
||||
and tell you what you just picked up.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Many of the commands that operate on objects must prompt you
|
||||
to find out which object you want to use.
|
||||
If you change your mind and don't want to do that command after all,
|
||||
just type an \*E and the command will be aborted.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Some objects, like armor and weapons,
|
||||
are easily differentiated.
|
||||
Others, like scrolls and potions,
|
||||
are given labels which vary according to type.
|
||||
During a game,
|
||||
any two of the same kind of object
|
||||
with the same label
|
||||
are the same type.
|
||||
However,
|
||||
the labels will vary from game to game.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
When you use one of these labeled objects,
|
||||
if its effect may be obvious. Potions or scrolls will
|
||||
become identified at this point, but not other items.
|
||||
You may want to call these other items something
|
||||
so you will recognize it later,
|
||||
you can use the
|
||||
.Cs call
|
||||
command
|
||||
(see above).
|
||||
.sh 2 Weapons
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Some weapons,
|
||||
like arrows,
|
||||
come in bunches,
|
||||
but most come one at a time.
|
||||
In order to use a weapon,
|
||||
you must wield it.
|
||||
To fire an arrow out of a bow,
|
||||
you must first wield the bow,
|
||||
then throw the arrow.
|
||||
You can only wield one weapon at a time,
|
||||
but you can't change weapons if the one
|
||||
you are currently wielding is cursed.
|
||||
The commands to use weapons are
|
||||
.Cs w
|
||||
(wield)
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Cs t
|
||||
(throw).
|
||||
.sh 2 Armor
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
There are various sorts of armor lying around in the dungeon.
|
||||
Some of it is enchanted,
|
||||
some is cursed,
|
||||
and some is just normal.
|
||||
Different armor types have different armor protection.
|
||||
The higher the armor protection,
|
||||
the more protection the armor affords against the blows of monsters.
|
||||
Here is a list of the various armor types and their normal armor protection:
|
||||
.(b
|
||||
.TS
|
||||

|
||||
l r.
|

Banded mail / Splint mail 6
|
||||
Plate mail 7
|
||||
.TE
|
||||
.)b
|
||||
.lp
|
||||
If a piece of armor is enchanted,
|
||||
its armor protection will be higher than normal.
|
||||
If a suit of armor is cursed,
|
||||
its armor protection will be lower,
|
||||
and you will not be able to remove it.
|
||||
However, not all armor with a protection that is lower than normal is cursed.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
The commands to use weapons are
|
||||
.Cs W
|
||||
(wear)
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Cs T
|
||||
(take off).
|
||||
.sh 2 Scrolls
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Scrolls come with titles in an unknown tongue\**.
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\** Actually, it's a dialect spoken only by the twenty-seven members
|
||||
of a tribe in Outer Mongolia,
|
||||
but you're not supposed to
|
||||
.i know
|
||||
that.
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
After you read a scroll,
|
||||
it disappears from your pack.
|
||||
The command to use a scroll is
|
||||
.Cs r
|
||||
(read).
|
||||
.sh 2 Potions
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Potions are labeled by the color of the liquid inside the flask.
|
||||
They disappear after being quaffed.
|
||||
The command to use a scroll is
|
||||
.Cs q
|
||||
(quaff).
|
||||
.sh 2 "Staves and Wands"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Staves and wands do the same kinds of things.
|
||||
Staves are identified by a type of wood;
|
||||
wands by a type of metal or bone.
|
||||
They are generally things you want to do to something
|
||||
over a long distance,
|
||||
so you must point them at what you wish to affect
|
||||
to use them.
|
||||
Some staves are not affected by the direction they are pointed, though.
|
||||
Staves come with multiple magic charges,
|
||||
the number being random,
|
||||
and when they are used up,
|
||||
the staff is just a piece of wood or metal.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
The command to use a wand or staff is
|
||||
.Cs z
|
||||
(zap)
|
||||
.sh 2 Rings
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Rings are very useful items,
|
||||
since they are relatively permanent magic,
|
||||
unlike the usually fleeting effects of potions, scrolls, and staves.
|
||||
Of course,
|
||||
the bad rings are also more powerful.
|
||||
Most rings also cause you to use up food more rapidly,
|
||||
the rate varying with the type of ring.
|
||||
Rings are differentiated by their stone settings.
|
||||
The commands to use rings are
|
||||
.Cs P
|
||||
(put on)
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Cs R
|
||||
(remove).
|
||||
.sh 2 Food
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Food is necessary to keep you going.
|
||||
If you go too long without eating you will faint,
|
||||
and eventually die of starvation.
|
||||
The command to use food is
|
||||
.Cs e
|
||||
(eat).
|
||||
.sh 1 Options
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Due to variations in personal tastes
|
||||
and conceptions of the way rogue should do things,
|
||||
there are a set of options you can set
|
||||
that cause rogue to behave in various different ways.
|
||||
.sh 2 "Setting the options"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
There are two ways to set the options.
|
||||
The first is with the
|
||||
.Cs o
|
||||
command of rogue;
|
||||
the second is with the
|
||||
.Cs ROGUEOPTS
|
||||
environment variable\**.
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\** On Version 6 systems,
|
||||
there is no equivalent of the ROGUEOPTS feature.
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.sh 3 "Using the `o' command"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
When you type
|
||||
.Cs o
|
||||
in rogue,
|
||||
it clears the screen
|
||||
and displays the current settings for all the options.
|
||||
It then places the cursor by the value of the first option
|
||||
and waits for you to type.
|
||||
You can type a \*R
|
||||
which means to go to the next option,
|
||||
a
|
||||
.Cs \-
|
||||
which means to go to the previous option,
|
||||
an \*E
|
||||
which means to return to the game,
|
||||
or you can give the option a value.
|
||||
For boolean options this merely involves typing
|
||||
.Cs t
|
||||
for true or
|
||||
.Cs f
|
||||
for false.
|
||||
For string options,
|
||||
type the new value followed by a \*R.
|
||||
.sh 3 "Using the ROGUEOPTS variable"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
The ROGUEOPTS variable is a string
|
||||
containing a comma separated list of initial values
|
||||
for the various options.
|
||||
Boolean variables can be turned on by listing their name
|
||||
or turned off by putting a
|
||||
.Cs no
|
||||
in front of the name.
|
||||
Thus to set up an environment variable so that
|
||||
.b jump
|
||||
is on,
|
||||
.b passgo
|
||||
is off,
|
||||
and the
|
||||
.b name
|
||||
is set to \*(lqBlue Meanie\*(rq,
|
||||
use the command
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
.ti +3n
|
||||
% setenv ROGUEOPTS "jump,nopassgo,name=Blue Meanie"\**
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\**
|
||||
For those of you who use the Bourne shell sh (1), the commands would be
|
||||
.in +3
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
$ ROGUEOPTS="jump,nopassgo,name=Blue Meanie"
|
||||
$ export ROGUEOPTS
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
.in +0
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
.sh 2 "Option list"
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Here is a list of the options
|
||||
and an explanation of what each one is for.
|
||||
The default value for each is enclosed in square brackets.
|
||||
For character string options,
|
||||
input over forty characters will be ignored.
|
||||
.ip "\fBjump\fP [\fI\^nojump\^\fP]"
|
||||
If this option is set,
|
||||
running moves will not be displayed
|
||||
until you reach the end of the move.
|
||||
This saves considerable cpu and display time.
|
||||
This option defaults to
|
||||
.i jump
|
||||
if you are using a slow terminal.
|
||||
.ip "\fBpassgo\fP [\fI\^nopassgo\^\fP]"
|
||||
Follow turnings in passageways.
|
||||
If you run in a passage
|
||||
and you run into stone or a wall,
|
||||
rogue will see if it can turn to the right or left.
|
||||
If it can only turn one way,
|
||||
it will turn that way.
|
||||
If it can turn either or neither,
|
||||
it will stop.
|
||||
This algorithm can sometimes lead to slightly confusing occurrences
|
||||
which is why it defaults to \fInopassgo\fP.
|
||||
.ip "\fBskull\fP [\fI\^skull\^\fP]"
|
||||
Print out the skull at the end if you get killed.
|
||||
This is nice but slow, so you can turn it off if you like.
|
||||
.ip "\fBname\fP [account name]"
|
||||
This is the name of your character.
|
||||
It is used if you get on the top ten scorer's list.
|
||||
.ip "\fBfruit\fP [\fI\^slime-mold\^\fP]"
|
||||
This should hold the name of a fruit that you enjoy eating.
|
||||
It is basically a whimsey that rogue uses in a couple of places.
|
||||
.ip "\fBfile\fP [\fI\^~/rogue.save\^\fP]"
|
||||
The default file name for saving the game.
|
||||
If your phone is hung up by accident,
|
||||
rogue will automatically save the game in this file.
|
||||
The file name may start with the special character
|
||||
.Cs ~
|
||||
which expands to be your home directory.
|
||||
.sh 1 Scoring
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Rogue maintains a list
|
||||
of the top scoring people or scores on your machine.
|
||||
If you score higher than someone else on this list,
|
||||
or better your previous score on the list,
|
||||
you will be inserted in the proper place
|
||||
under your current name.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
If you quit the game, you get out with all of your gold intact.
|
||||
If, however, you get killed in the Dungeons of Doom,
|
||||
your body is forwarded to your next-of-kin,
|
||||
along with 90% of your gold;
|
||||
ten percent of your gold is kept by the Dungeons' wizard as a fee\**.
|
||||
.(f
|
||||
\** The Dungeon's wizard is named Wally the Wonder Badger.
|
||||
Invocations should be accompanied by a sizable donation.
|
||||
.)f
|
||||
This should make you consider whether you want to take one last hit
|
||||
at that monster and possibly live,
|
||||
or quit and thus stop with whatever you have.
|
||||
If you quit, you do get all your gold,
|
||||
but if you swing and live, you might find more.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
If you just want to see what the current top players/games list is,
|
||||
you can type

||||
