  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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;You can see ...&rdquo; descriptions of
  88 standard fantasy games. Here is a sample of what a
  89 rogue screen might look like.</p>

  91 <div align="center"><pre>

 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>

 123                 Health points indicate how much damage you can take before
 124                 you die. The more you get hit in a fight, the lower they
 125                 get. You can regain health points by resting. The number in
 126                 parentheses is the maximum number your hit points can
 127                 reach.</p></td>

 147                 experience level. The more experienced you are, the better

 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 &ldquo;--More--&rdquo;
 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
 160 next message, just type a space.</p>
 161
 162 <h3 align="justify"><b>3.3. The rest of the screen</b></h3>

 164 <p align="justify">The rest of the screen is the map of the
 165 level as you have explored it so far. Each symbol on the

 233 Most commands can be preceded by a count to repeat them

 415 <h2 align="justify"><b>5. Dealing with objects</b></h2>
 416
 417 <p align="justify">When you find something in the dungeon, it is common to
 418 want to pick the object up. This is accomplished in rogue by
 419 walking over the object. If you are carrying too many
 420 things, the program will tell you and it won&rsquo;t pick up
 421 the object, otherwise it will add it to your pack and if the
 422 notify option is set, tell you what you just picked up.</p>
 423
 424 <p align="justify">Many of the commands that operate on objects must prompt
 425 you to find out which object you want to use. If you change
 426 your mind and don&rsquo;t want to do that command after all,
 427 just press an escape and the command will be aborted.</p>
 428
 429 <h2 align="justify"><b>6. Light</b></h2>
 430
 431 <p align="justify">Rooms in the dungeons are either lit or dark. If you
 432 walk into a lit room, the entire room will be drawn on the
 433 screen as soon as you enter. If you walk into a dark room,
 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
 436 removed from the screen. In the darkness you can only see
 437 one space in all directions around you.</p>
 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
 443 case that discretion is the better part of valor.</p>
 444
 445 <h2 align="justify">8<b>. Armor</b></h2>
 446
 447 <p align="justify">There are various sorts of armor lying around in the
 448 dungeon. Some of it is enchanted, some is cursed and some is
 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
 453 or lower than normal. Here is a list of the various armor
 454 types and their normal armor class.</p>

 489 <h2 align="justify">9<b>. Options</b></h2>
 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 &quot;o&quot; 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 &quot;o&quot; command</b></h3>
 505
 506 <p align="justify">When you press &quot;o&quot; 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 &quot;&minus;&quot;
 511 which means to go to the previous option, an escape which
 512 means to return to the game, or you can give the option a
 513 value. For boolean options this merely involves pressing
 514 &quot;t&quot; for true or &quot;f&quot; for false. For
 515 string options, type the new value followed by a return.</p>
 516
 517 <h3 align="justify">9<b>.1.2. Using the ROGUEOPTS variable</b></h3>
 518
 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 &quot;no&quot; 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 &quot;Conan the
 525 Barbarian&quot; and the fruit is &quot;mango&quot;, use the
 526 command</p>
 527
 528 <div align="justify"><pre>

 532 <h3 align="justify"><b>9.2. Option list</b></h3>
 533
 534 <p align="justify">Here is a list of the options and an explanation of what
 535 each one is for. The default value for each is enclosed in
 536 square brackets.</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         &quot;*&quot; responses to &quot;Which item do you wish to
 559         xxxx? &quot; 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&rsquo;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>rogue.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
 598         character &quot;~&quot; which expands to be your home
 599         directory.</p>
