! 28: <h2 align="justify"><b>1. Introduction</b></h2>
! 29:
! 30: <p align="justify">You have just finished your years as a
! 31: student at the local fighter’s guild. After much
! 32: practice and sweat you have finally completed your training
! 33: and are ready to embark upon a perilous adventure. As a test
! 34: of your skills, the local guildmasters have sent you into
! 35: the Dungeons of Doom. Your task is to return with the Amulet
! 36: of Yendor. Your reward for the completion of this task will
! 37: be a full membership in the local guild. In addition, you
! 38: are allowed to keep all the loot you bring back from the
! 39: dungeons.</p>
! 40:
! 41: <p align="justify">In preparation for your journey, you are
! 42: given an enchanted sword, taken
! 43: from a dragon’s hoard in the far off Dark Mountains.
! 44: You are also outfitted with elf-crafted armor and given
! 45: enough food to reach the dungeons. You say goodbye to family
! 46: and friends for what may be the last time and head up the
! 47: road.</p>
! 48:
! 49: <p align="justify">You set out on your way to the dungeons and
! 50: after several days of uneventful travel, you see the
! 51: ancient ruins that mark the entrance to the Dungeons of
! 52: Doom. It is late at night so you make camp at the entrance
! 53: and spend the night sleeping under the open skies. In the
! 54: morning you gather your sword, put on your armor, eat what
! 55: is almost your last food and enter the
! 56: dungeons.</p>
! 57:
! 58: <h2 align="justify"><b>2. What is going on here?</b></h2>
! 59:
! 60: <p align="justify">You have just begun a game of rogue. Your
! 61: goal is to grab as much treasure as you can, find the Amulet
! 62: of Yendor, and get out of the Dungeons of Doom alive. On the
! 63: screen, a map of where you have been and what you have seen
! 64: on the current dungeon level is kept. As you explore more of
! 65: the level, it appears on the screen in front of
! 66: you.</p>
! 67:
! 68: <p align="justify">Rogue differs from most computer fantasy
! 69: games in that it is screen oriented. Commands are all one or
! 70: two keystrokes<sup>1 </sup>and the
! 71: results of your commands are displayed graphically on the
! 72: screen rather than being explained in words<sup>2</sup>.</p>
! 73:
! 74: <p align="justify">Another major difference between rogue and
! 75: other computer fantasy games is that once you have solved
! 76: all the puzzles in a standard fantasy game, it has lost most
! 77: of its excitement and it ceases to be fun. Rogue on the
! 78: other hand generates a new dungeon every time you play it
! 79: and even the author finds it an entertaining and exciting
! 80: game.</p>
! 81:
! 82: <h2 align="justify"><b>3. What do all those things on the screen mean?</b></h2>
! 83:
! 84: <p align="justify">In order to understand what is going on in
! 85: rogue you have to first get some grasp of what rogue is
! 86: doing with the screen. The rogue screen is intended to
! 87: replace the “You can see ...” descriptions of
! 88: standard fantasy games. Here is a sample of what a
! 89: rogue screen might look like.</p>
! 90:
! 91: <div align="center"><pre>

! 101:
! 102: <h3 align="justify"><b>3.1. The bottom line</b></h3>
! 103:
! 104: <p align="justify">At the bottom line of the screen is a few
! 105: pieces of cryptic information describing your current
! 106: status. Here is an explanation of what these things
! 107: mean:</p>

! 153:
! 154: <p align="justify">The top line of the screen is reserved for
! 155: printing messages that describe things that are impossible
! 156: to represent visually. If you see a “--More--”
! 157: on the top line, this means that rogue wants to print
! 158: another message on the screen, but it wants to make certain
! 159: that you have read the one that is there first. To read the

! 419: walking over the object. If you are carrying too many

! 423:
! 424: <p align="justify">Many of the commands that operate on objects must prompt

! 430:
! 431: <p align="justify">Rooms in the dungeons are either lit or dark. If you

! 434: it will only be displayed as you explore it. Upon leaving a
! 435: dark room, all objects inside the room which might move are

! 438:
! 439: <h2 align="justify"><b>7. Fighting</b></h2>
! 440: <p align="justify">If you see a monster and you wish to fight it, just
! 441: attempt to run into it. Many times a monster you find will
! 442: mind its own business unless you attack it. It is often the

! 446:
! 447: <p align="justify">There are various sorts of armor lying around in the

! 449: just normal. Different armor types have different armor
! 450: classes. The lower the armor class, the more protection the
! 451: armor affords against the blows of monsters. If a piece of
! 452: armor is enchanted or cursed, its armor class will be higher

! 490:
! 491: <p align="justify">Due to variations in personal tastes and conceptions of
! 492: the way rogue should do things, there are a set of options
! 493: you can set that cause rogue to behave in various different
! 494: ways.</p>
! 495:
! 496: <h3 align="justify"><b>9.1 Setting the options</b></h3>
! 497:
! 498: <p align="justify">There are basically two ways to set the options. The
! 499: first is with the "o" command of rogue, the second
! 500: is with the ROGUEOPTS environment variable. On Version 6
! 501: systems, there is no equivalent of the ROGUEOPTS
! 502: feature.</p>
! 503:
! 504: <h3 align="justify"><b>9.1.1. Using the "o" command</b></h3>
! 505:
! 506: <p align="justify">When you press "o" in rogue, it clears the
! 507: screen and displays the current settings for all the
! 508: options. It then places the cursor by the value of the first
! 509: option and waits for you to type. You can type a RETURN
! 510: which means to go to the next option, a "−"

! 519: <p align="justify">The ROGUEOPTS variable is a string containing a comma
! 520: separated list of initial values for the various options.
! 521: Boolean variables can be turned on by listing their name and
! 522: turned off by putting a "no" in front of the name.
! 523: Thus to set up an environment variable so that jump is on,
! 524: terse is off, the name is set to "Conan the
! 525: Barbarian" and the fruit is "mango", use the
! 526: command</p>

! 537:
! 538: <p align="justify"><b>terse</b>[<i>noterse</i>]</p>
! 539: <blockquote>
! 540: <p align="justify">
! 541: Useful for those who are tired of the sometimes lengthy
! 542: messages of rogue. This is a useful option for those on slow
! 543: terminals. This option defaults to on if your are on a slow
! 544: (under 1200 baud) terminal.</p>
! 545: </blockquote>
! 546:
! 547: <p align="justify"><b>jump</b>[<i>nojump</i>]</p>
! 548: <blockquote>
! 549: <p align="justify">If this option is set, running moves will not be
! 550: displayed until you reach the end of the move. This saves
! 551: considerable cpu time and display time. This option defaults
! 552: to on if you are using a slow terminal.</p>
! 553: </blockquote>
! 554:
! 555: <p align="justify"><b>step</b>[<i>nostep</i>]</p>
! 556: <blockquote>
! 557: <p align="justify">When step is set, lists of things, like inventories or
! 558: "*" responses to "Which item do you wish to
! 559: xxxx? " questions, are displayed one item at a time on
! 560: the top of the screen, rather than clearing the screen,
! 561: displaying the list, then re-displaying the dungeon
! 562: level.</p>
! 563: </blockquote>
! 564:
! 565: <p align="justify"><b>flush</b>[<i>noflush</i>]</p>
! 566: <blockquote>
! 567: <p align="justify">If flush is set, all typeahead is thrown away after each
! 568: round of battle. This is useful for those who type way ahead
! 569: and watch to their dismay as a Kobold kills them.</p>
! 570: </blockquote>
! 571:
! 572: <p align="justify"><b>askme</b>[<i>noaskme</i>]</p>
! 573: <blockquote>
! 574: <p align="justify">Upon reading a scroll or quaffing a potion which does
! 575: not automatically identify it upon use, rogue will ask you
! 576: what to name it so you can recognize it in the future.</p>
! 577: </blockquote>
! 578:
! 579: <p align="justify"><b>name</b> [account name]</p>
! 580: <blockquote>
! 581: <p align="justify">This is the name of your character. It is used if you
! 582: get on the top ten scorer’s list. It should be less
! 583: than eighty characters long.</p>
! 584: </blockquote>
! 585:
! 586: <p align="justify"><b>fruit</b>[<i>slime-mold</i>]</p>
! 587: <blockquote>
! 588: <p align="justify">This should hold the name of a fruit that you enjoy
! 589: eating. It is basically a whimsy that the program uses in a
! 590: couple of places.</p>
! 591: </blockquote>
! 592:
! 593: <p align="justify"><b>file</b>[<i>rogue3.save</i>]</p>
! 594: <blockquote>
! 595: <p align="justify">The default file name for saving the game. If your phone
! 596: is hung up by accident, rogue will automatically save the
! 597: game in this file. The file name may contain the special
