! 24: Rogue is a visual CRT based fantasy game which runs
! 25: under the UNIX\*F
! 26: .FS
! 27: UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
! 28: .FE
! 29: timesharing system. This paper describes
! 30: how to play rogue and gives a few hints for those who might
! 31: otherwise get lost (or killed) in the Dungeons of Doom.

! 34: .H 1 INTRODUCTION
! 35: .P
! 36: You have just finished your years as a student
! 37: at the local fighter's guild.
! 38: After much practice and sweat you have finally completed your training and
! 39: are ready to embark upon a perilous adventure. As a test of your skills,
! 40: the local guildmasters have sent you into the Dungeons of Doom. Your
! 41: task is to return with the Amulet of Yendor.
! 42: Your reward for the completion
! 43: of this task will be a full membership in the local guild.
! 44: In addition, you are
! 45: allowed to keep all the loot you bring back from the dungeons.
! 46: .P
! 47: In preparation for your journey, you are given an enchanted weapon, taken
! 48: from a dragon's hoard in the far off Dark Mountains.
! 49: You are also outfitted
! 50: with elf-crafted armor and given enough food to reach the dungeons. You
! 51: say good-bye to family and friends for what may be the last time and head
! 52: up the road.
! 53: .P
! 54: You set out on your way to the dungeons and after
! 55: several days of uneventful
! 56: travel, you see the ancient ruins that mark the entrance to the Dungeons
! 57: of Doom. It is late at night so you make camp at the entrance and spend
! 58: the night sleeping under the open skies. In the morning you gather
! 59: your weapon, put on your armor, eat what is almost your last food and enter
! 60: the dungeons.
! 61: .H 1 "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?"
! 62: .P
! 63: You have just begun a game of rogue.
! 64: Your goal is to grab as much treasure
! 65: as you can, find the \f3Amulet of Yendor\f1, and get out of the Dungeons
! 66: of Doom alive.
! 67: On the screen, a map of where you have been and what you have seen on
! 68: the current dungeon level is kept. As you explore more of the level,
! 69: it appears on the screen in front of you.
! 70: .P
! 71: Rogue differs from most computer fantasy games in that it is screen
! 72: oriented. Commands are all one or two keystrokes\*F
! 73: .FS
! 74: As opposed to pseudo English sentences.
! 75: .FE
! 76: and the results of your commands are displayed
! 77: graphically on the screen rather than being explained in words.
! 78: .P
! 79: Another major difference between rogue and other computer fantasy games
! 80: is that once you have solved all the puzzles in a standard fantasy game,
! 81: it has lost most of its excitement and it ceases to be fun. Rogue on the
! 82: other hand generates a new dungeon every time you play it and
! 83: even the author finds it an entertaining and exciting game.
! 84: .H 1 "WHAT DO ALL THOSE THINGS ON THE SCREEN MEAN?"
! 85: .P
! 86: In order to understand what is going on in rogue you have to first get
! 87: some grasp of what rogue is doing with the screen.
! 88: The rogue screen is intended to replace the \f3You can see ...\f1 descriptions
! 89: of standard fantasy games. Here is a sample of what a rogue screen might
! 90: look like:
! 91: .SP
! 92: .DS

! 105: \f1
! 106: .DE
! 107: .H 1 "THE BOTTOM LINES"
! 108: At the bottom line of the screen is a few pieces of cryptic information,
! 109: describing your current status. Here is an explanation of what these
! 110: things mean:
! 111: .SP
! 112: .H 2 "LEVEL"
! 113: .SP
! 114: This number indicates how deep you have gone in the dungeon. It starts
! 115: at one and goes up forever.\*F
! 116: .FS
! 117: Or until you get killed or decide to quit. Level 500 is really the
! 118: maximum, but almost impossible.
! 119: .FE
! 120: .SP
! 121: .H 2 "GOLD"
! 122: .SP
! 123: The number of gold pieces you have managed to attain.
! 124: .SP
! 125: .H 2 "HP"
! 126: .SP
! 127: Your current and maximum hit points. Hit points indicate how much
! 128: damage you can take before you die. The more you get hit in a
! 129: fight, the lower they
! 130: get. You can regain hit points by moving around. The number in
! 131: parentheses is the maximum number of hit points you can regain.
! 132: .SP
! 133: .H 2 "AC"
! 134: .SP
! 135: Your current armor class. This number indicates how effective
! 136: your armor is in stopping blows from unfriendly creatures. The lower
! 137: this number is, the more effective the armor. Armor class can get
! 138: lower than zero.
! 139: .SP
! 140: .H 2 "EXP"
! 141: .SP
! 142: These two numbers give your current experience level and experience points.
! 143: As you kill monsters, you gain experience points. At certain experience
! 144: point totals, you gain an experience level. The more experienced you are,
! 145: the better you are able to fight and to withstand magical attacks. You
! 146: must gain 10 experience points to advance to the 2nd experience level.
! 147: Now you must double the previous experience point total to advance
! 148: to the next experience level. (i.e. 20 to get to level 3, 40 to 4...)
! 149: Every time you advance to a new experience level, your hit points
! 150: will increase. This is random, so don't expect a lot every time.
! 151: .SP
! 152: .H 2 "VOL"
! 153: .SP
! 154: This is the percentage of what your pack contains. \f3100%\f1
! 155: means that your pack is full.
! 156: .SP
! 157: .H 2 "STR"
! 158: .SP
! 159: Your current strength. This can be any integer from 0 to 24.
! 160: The larger the number, the stronger you are.
! 161: .SP
! 162: .H 2 "DEX"
! 163: .SP
! 164: This is your dexterity. Dexterity gives you the ability to dodge arrow
! 165: and dart traps more effectively. It also gives you the ability to dodge
! 166: attacks from monters (maximum of 18).
! 167: .SP
! 168: .H 2 "WIS"
! 169: .SP
! 170: This is your wisdom. If you are smarter than the monsters,
! 171: then you have a better chance of defeating them (maximum of 18).
! 172: .SP
! 173: .H 2 "CON"
! 174: .SP
! 175: This is your constitution. Constitution makes up your ability to
! 176: regain your hit points, once you have been battered. The higher
! 177: your constitution (maximum of 18), the faster you will gain back
! 178: the hit points you have lost.
! 179: .SP
! 180: .H 2 "CARRY"
! 181: .SP
! 182: This is similar to your volume, but tells you the maximum of what
! 183: you can carry and what you are currently carrying in weight.
! 184: .H 1 "THE TOP LINE"
! 185: .P
! 186: The top line of the screen is reserved for printing messages that describe
! 187: things that are impossible to represent visually. If you see a
! 188: \f3-- More --\f1 on the top line, this means that rogue wants to print another
! 189: message on the screen, but it wants to make certain that you have read
! 190: the one that is there first. To read the next message, just press a
! 191: space.
! 192: .H 1 "THE REST OF THE SCREEN"
! 193: .P
! 194: The rest of the screen is the map of the level
! 195: as you have explored it so far.
! 196: Each symbol on the screen represents something. Here is a list of what
! 197: the various symbols mean:
! 198: .bp
! 199: .DS
! 200: .B "@ " "This symbol represents you, the adventurer."

! 253: .H 1 COMMANDS
! 254: .P
! 255: Commands are given to rogue by pressing single letters. Some commands can
! 256: be preceded by a count to repeat them
! 257: (i.e. typing \f310s\f1 will do ten searches)
! 258: The list of commands is rather long, but it can be read at any time during
! 259: the game with the \f3?\f1 command. Here it is for reference, with a short
! 260: explanation of each command:
! 261: .SP
! 262: .DS
! 263: \f3?\f1 The help command. Asks for a character to give help on.
! 264: If you type a \f3*\f1, it will list all the commands, otherwise
! 265: it will explain what the character you type does.
! 266:
! 267: \f3/\f1 This is the \f3What is that on the screen\f1? command.
! 268: A \f3/\f1 followed by any character that you see on the level,
! 269: will tell you what that character is. For instance, typing
! 270: \f3/@\f1 will tell you that the \f3@\f1 symbol represents you,
! 271: the player.
! 272:
! 273: \f3h, H\f1 Move left. You move one space to the left. If you use
! 274: upper case, \f3H,\f1 you will continue to move left until you
! 275: run into something. This works for all movement commands.
! 276: (i.e. \f3L\f1 means run in direction \f3l\f1)
! 277:
! 278: .B "j, J " "Move down."
! 279:
! 280: .B "k, K " "Move up."
! 281:
! 282: .B "l, L " "Move right."
! 283:

! 285:
! 286: .B "u, U " "Move diagonally up and right."
! 287:
! 288: .B "b, B " "Move diagonally down and left."
! 289:
! 290: .B "n, N " "Move diagonally down and right."
! 291:
! 292: \f3f\f1 Find prefix. When followed by a direction it means to
! 293: continue moving in the specified direction until you pass
! 294: something interesting or run into a wall.
! 295:
! 296: \f3t\f1 Throw an object. This is a prefix command. Follow it
! 297: with a direction and you throw an object in the specified
! 298: direction. (i.e. type \f3th\f1 to throw something left.)
! 299:
! 300: \f3p\f1 Zap an object with a staff or wand. This is a prefix
! 301: command. Follow it with a direction and you will zap in the
! 302: specified direction. (i.e. type \f3ph\f1 to zap something left.)
! 303: .DE
! 304: .bp
! 305: .DS
! 306: \f3z\f1 Zap an object with no direction. This means that you
! 307: could be zapped with it as well.
! 308:
! 309: .B "D " "Dip an object in the magic pool."
! 310:
! 311: \f3>\f1 If you are standing over the passage down to the next
! 312: level, this command means to climb down.
! 313:
! 314: \f3<\f1 If you have found the \f3Amulet of Yendor\f1, then
! 315: you have the ability to climb back up a level, hopefully on
! 316: your way out.
! 317:
! 318: \f3s\f1 Search for traps and secret doors. Examine each space
! 319: immediately adjacent to you for the existence of a trap or
! 320: secret door. There is a large chance that even if there is
! 321: something there, you won't find it so you might have to
! 322: search a while before you find something.
! 323:
! 324: .B "\. " "Rest. This is the \f3do nothing\f1 command. This is
! 325: good for waiting and healing."
! 326:
! 327: .B "i " "Inventory. List what you are carrying in your pack."
! 328:

! 337:
! 338: \f3w\f1 Wield a weapon. Take a weapon out of your pack and carry
! 339: it. You must be wielding a weapon to use it (except to
! 340: throw things). To fire an arrow, you must wield the bow.
! 341: You can only wield one weapon at a time.
! 342:
! 343: \f3W\f1 Wear armor. Take a piece of armor out of your pack and
! 344: put it on. You can only wear one suit of armor at a time.
! 345:
! 346: .B "T " "Take armor off. You can't remove armor that is cursed."
! 347:
! 348: \f3P\f1 Put a ring on your finger. You can only wear two rings
! 349: at a time.
! 350:
! 351: \f3R\f1 Remove a ring from your finger. Cursed rings are hard
! 352: to remove.
! 353:
! 354: \f3d\f1 Drop an object. Take something out of your pack and
! 355: leave it lying on the floor. Only one object can occupy
! 356: each space.
! 357: .DE
! 358: .bp
! 359: .DS
! 360: \f3O\f1 Examine and set options. This command is further
! 361: explained in the section on options.
! 362:
! 363: \f3^l\f1 Redraws the screen. Useful if spurious messages or
! 364: transmission errors have messed up the display.
! 365:
! 366: \f3^r\f1 Repeat last message. Useful when a message disappears
! 367: before you can read it.
! 368:
! 369: .B "^[ " "This is the escape key. This will cancel the last command."
! 370:
! 371: \f3a\f1 Reports your encumbrance. This is the weight factor of
! 372: your pack. The heavier your pack is weighted down with
! 373: objects, the less effective you are in an attack and the
! 374: more food you'll eat.
! 375:
! 376: .B "c " "Call an object. You can call an object anything you like."
! 377:
! 378: .B "v " "Prints the program version number."
! 379:
! 380: .B "Q " "Quit. Leave the game. This is the chicken-way out."
! 381:
! 382: \f3!\f1 This is the shell escape key. Use this to get back to
! 383: shell level. To get back to the game, just hit \f3^d\f1.
! 384:
! 385: \f3S\f1 Save the current game in a file. Rogue won't let
! 386: you start up a copy of a saved game, and it removes the
! 387: save file as soon as you start up a restored game. This
! 388: is to prevent people from saving a game just before a
! 389: dangerous position and then restarting it, if they die.
! 390: Sorry no linking, copying, moving, or anything.
! 391: .DE
! 392: .bp
! 393: .H 1 "DEALING WITH OBJECTS"
! 394: .P
! 395: When you find something in the dungeon, it is common to want to pick the
! 396: object up. This is accomplished in rogue by walking over the object.
! 397: If you are carrying too many things, you won't be able to pick the
! 398: object up. Otherwise, the object will be added to your pack and you
! 399: will be notified of what you just picked up.
! 400: .P
! 401: Many of the commands that operate on objects must prompt you to find
! 402: out which object you want to use.
! 403: If you change your mind and don't want to
! 404: do that command after all, just press an \f3escape\f1 key and the command
! 405: will be aborted.
! 406: .H 1 ROOMS
! 407: .P
! 408: Rooms in the dungeons are either lit or dark.
! 409: If you walk into a lit room,
! 410: the entire room will be drawn on the screen as soon as you enter. If you
! 411: walk into a dark room, you will only be able to see the spaces immediately
! 412: next to you.
! 413: Upon leaving a dark room, all objects inside the room are
! 414: removed from the screen.
! 415: .H 1 FIGHTING
! 416: .P
! 417: If you see a monster and you wish to fight it, just attempt to run into it.
! 418: You also may throw things at it or zap it with a wand or staff.
! 419: Many times a monster you find will mind its own business unless you attack
! 420: it. It is often the case that discretion is the better part of valor.
! 421: .P
! 422: Smart monsters have the ability to run when they realize that their
! 423: lives are endangered. This will be denoted that you have wounded
! 424: the monster.
! 425: .P
! 426: Monsters will avoid lit traps. You can use this to your
! 427: advantage, if you figure out how. If the traps are not lit, they can
! 428: fall through them as you would. The hard part is trying to get them to
! 429: fall through a trap that you don't know is there.
! 430: .bp
! 431: .H 1 ARMOR
! 432: .P
! 433: There are various sorts of armor lying around in the dungeon. Some of it
! 434: is enchanted, some is cursed and some is just normal. Different armor
! 435: types have different armor classes. The lower the armor class, the
! 436: more protection the armor affords against the blows of monsters.
! 437: If a piece of armor is enchanted or
! 438: cursed, its armor class will be higher or lower than normal. Here is
! 439: a list of the various armor types and their normal armor class:
! 440: .DS 3

! 457: .TE
! 458: .DE
! 459: .H 1 WEAPONS
! 460: .P
! 461: There may be many different types of weapons lying around in the dungeon,
! 462: probably left there when their previous owners ran into a monster they
! 463: couldn't handle. In order to fire arrows and crossbow bolts you must be
! 464: wielding the bow or the crossbow. Rocks are effective when thrown but
! 465: can be even more dangerous when hurled with a sling. Daggers can be used
! 466: as stabbing weapons or they can be thrown. Beware of cursed weapons,
! 467: they will not work as well as normal or enchanted weapons and once you
! 468: wield them, you will be stuck with them until you can get the curse
! 469: removed. Staffs and wands are special weapons. They need not be
! 470: wielded for you to use them.
! 471: .bp
! 472: .H 1 "POTIONS AND SCROLLS"
! 473: .P
! 474: Left by the wizard Yendor, the potions and scrolls found in the dungeon
! 475: constitute a mixed blessing. By drinking or reading these magical items,
! 476: the intelligent adventurer can greatly increase his chances of survival.
! 477: A few of them can backfire on the unwary rogue, causing everything from
! 478: a weakening sickness to the creation of an angry monster.
! 479: .H 1 OPTIONS
! 480: .P
! 481: Due to variations in personal tastes and conceptions of the way rogue
! 482: should do things, there are a set of options you can set that cause
! 483: rogue to behave in various different ways.
! 484: .H 2 "SETTING THE OPTIONS"
! 485: .P
! 486: There are basically two ways to set the options. The first is with the
! 487: \f3O\f1 command of rogue, the second is with the \f3ROGUEOPTS\f1 environment
! 488: variable.
! 489: .H 2 "USING THE O COMMAND"
! 490: .P
! 491: When you press \f3O\f1 in rogue, it clears the screen and displays the
! 492: current settings for all the options.
! 493: It then places the cursor by the value of the
! 494: first option and waits for you to type.
! 495: You can type a \f3RETURN\f1 which means to
! 496: go to the next option, a \f3-\f1 which means to go to the previous option,
! 497: an escape which means to return to the game, or you can give the option a
! 498: value. For string options, type the new value followed by a return.
! 499: .H 2 "USING THE ROGUEOPTS VARIABLE"
! 500: .P
! 501: The \f3ROGUEOPTS\f1 variable is a string containing a comma
! 502: separated list of initial values for the various options.
! 503: Thus to set up an environment variable so that the name is
! 504: set to \f3Rapid Robert\f1, the fruit is \f3cherry\f1,
! 505: and your save file is \f3fun\f1, use the command:
! 506: .SP 2
! 507: .DS
! 508: ROGUEOPTS="name=Rapid Robert,fruit=cherry,file=fun"
! 509: export ROGUEOPTS
! 510: .DE
! 511: .bp
! 512: .H 2 "OPTION LIST"
! 513: .P
! 514: Here is a list of the options and an explanation for each one.
! 515: The default value for each is enclosed in square brackets:
! 516: .BL
! 517: .LI
! 518: .B "NAME [LOGIN NAME]"
! 519: This is the name of your character. It is used if you get on the top ten
! 520: scorer's list. It should be less than eighty characters long.
! 521: .LI
! 522: .B "FRUIT [JUICY-FRUIT]"
! 523: This should hold the name of a
! 524: fruit that you enjoy eating. It is basically
! 525: a whimsy that the program uses in a couple of places.
! 526: .LI
! 527: .B "FILE [.ROGUE.SAVE]"
! 528: The default file name for saving the game. If your phone is hung up by
! 529: accident, rogue will automatically save the game in this file. The
! 530: file name may contain the special character \f3~\f1 which expands to be
! 531: your home directory.
! 532: .LE
! 533: .H 1 "SAVED GAMES"
! 534: .P
! 535: This is how one would restore a saved game:
! 536: .SP
! 537: .DS 1
! 538: .B "rogue .rogue.save"
! 539: .DE
! 540: .SP
! 541: This is how one would read the top ten score list of rogue:
! 542: .SP
! 543: .DS 1
! 544: .B "rogue -s"
! 545: .DE
! 546: .SP
! 547: .bp
! 548: .H 1 SYNOPSIS
! 549: .B Rogue
! 550: is a video oriented game with the object being to survive the attacks
! 551: of various monsters and gather a lot of gold.
! 552: To get started, you really only need to know two commands. The command
! 553: .B ?
! 554: will give you a list of the available commands and the command
! 555: .B /
! 556: will identify the things you see on the screen.
! 557: .P
! 558: To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high
! 559: scores) you must locate the
! 560: .B "Amulet of Yendor"
! 561: which is somewhere below
! 562: the \f335th\f1 level of the dungeon and get it out.
! 563: .P
! 564: When the game ends, either by your death, when you chicken-out by
! 565: quitting, or if you (by some miracle) manage to win,
! 566: .B rogue
! 567: will give you a list of what was in your pack and
! 568: will give you a list of the top ten scorers. The scoring is based
! 569: upon how much gold you get.
! 570: If for some reason you manage to win, then the stuff in your
! 571: pack is also worth points. The better the stuff, the more points you'll
! 572: get. There is a \f310%\f1 penalty for getting yourself killed.
! 573: .H 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
! 574: Rogue was originally conceived of by Glenn Wichman and Michael Toy. The
! 575: version of Super-Rogue 9.0 has been established
! 576: through the persistence of a co-worker, who would like to remain nameless.
! 577: He conceived the idea of 52 monsters, magic pools, the Flea Market,
! 578: and mazes. Many bug fixes and joys of Super-Rogue 9.0 wouldn't
! 579: be here without the savage attack that he has put on this game.
