.TH ROGUE 6 "March 4, 1987"
.UC 4
.SH NAME
rogue \- Exploring The Dungeons of Doom With a Rogue Clone
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rogue
[
.I save_file
]
[
.B \-s
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This game is a clone of the rogue 5.3 game that is part of the Berkeley
Software Distribution (BSD) Tape.
.PP
The command characters are precisely the same as in standard rogue 5.3.
h,j,k,l,y,u,b,n move you one step.  Capitalize it, and you move until you
run into something.  Use the control key instead, and you move until you
are next to something.
.PP
Whenever the program asks you for an inventory letter, you can type '*' to
get a list of the logical choices.  Sometimes, however, you don't want to
see that list, but instead you want to see the list of your scrolls, potions,
weapons, or whatever.  In these cases you can type one of ?!=:/)] to see
a menu of your scrolls, potions, rings, foods, wands, weapons or armor
respectively.  This is especially usefull when you know you want to drop
a particular item, a scroll for example, but you don't want to pick it
from the entire list, just from your collection of scrolls.
.PP
When you type control-a, you are shown a line that looks like:
.sp
.in +1.0i
R-Hp: 6.50, E-Hp: 7.00 (!: 2, V: 0)
.in -1.0i
.sp
This line refers to Hp-raise averages.  Each time your experience level
goes up, your Hp is increased by a random amount not to exceed 10.  If
you are curious about your luck in these raises, you can use the ^A
command.  In the example above R-Hp stands for "real Hp" which is
exactly your average Hp raise during the game.  E-Hp stands for effective
Hp, and is the same as R-Hp except Hp raises from potions, and Hp-subtractions
from vampires are factored in.  In the above between the parentheses, it
shows that 2 Hp points were given as a result of quaffing potions of
healing, and that vampires have taken way none.  All of these Hp numbers
refer to you max Hp number; the rightmost number in Hp: (15)22 in the
status line at the bottom of your rogue screen.
.PP
The 'X' command silently creates a file in your current directory called
rogue.screen.  This file contains a copy of your screen at the time you
typed typed the 'X'   This works at absolutely any point in the program.
It is useful for showing other folks what kind of a mess you got into,
or what a great game you were having.  This functionality means that
you cannot use the letter 'X' when 'calling' an object something.
.PP
The
.B
-s
.R
option prints the score file and exits.
