+# Rogue
+
+ROGUE was written Nov 1984 thru Feb 1985 by David Goodenough.
+
+I made the changes for VT100 escape sequences according to QTERM.PAT.
+
+The original files can be found in the .zip file.
+
+``ROGUE.COM`` is the executable file and ``ROGUE.DOC`` contains the help for all commands.

+Anything that can be picked up (scrolls et. seq.) gets picked up when moved
+on top of, to fight a monster, either point a wand at it, throw a weapon
+at it, or to fight it hand to hand, attempt to move on top of it.
+
+Weapons fall into four classes:
+1.	two handed sword, long sword, mace: these are best weilded when going
+	    into hand to hand combat;
+2.	short bow, crossbow, sling: these are best weilded when class 3
+	    weapons are to be thrown;
+3.	arrow, crossbow bolt, rock: these are best thrown at monsters some
+	    distance away, best results will be obtained if the approprate
+	    class 2 weapon is weilded when throwing class 3 weapons;
+4.	spear, dagger, dart: these are best thrown as class 3, however no
+	    special weapon need be weilded to throw these.
+
+When throwing a weapon or pointing a wand, the direction should be specified
+as for moving, so to point a wand to the left type in 'ph', and give the
+letter from the inventory when asked what to zap, similarly to throw something
+down, type 'tj', and the inventory letter, etc. etc. etc.
+
+The general idea of the game is to find the Amulet of Funidoog, which will be
+found somewhere below level 20, and escape from the dungeon with it: once it
+has been picked up, the '<' command to go upstairs works.
+
+This game has it's roots in AD&D (The T.S.R. fantasy role playing game), but
+intimate knowledge of AD&D is not necessary to play Rogue (though it can be
+a help). Rogue was originally written in C, and released on Berkley UNIX
+systems - the only major part missing is the wizards password (which is a
+massive cheat anyway). By and large, damages that monsters do, armour classes
+of monsters, probabilities of hitting in combat, and other such variables are
+lifted directly from AD&D, as they were for the Berkley version.
+
+A few (hopefully helpful) comments: use the rest command copiously - it
+allows you to regain hit points lost in combat; traps generally only show
+up when you stand on them, unless you are searching - on the subject of
+searching, don't get too depressed if you seem to have explored everywhere
+and you can't find the stairs: search along the walls of the rooms you have
+found ('s' command, do it typically 10 times for each '-' or '|' in the
+wall). Note also that some of the monsters get very vicious: dragons can
+breath on you, rust monsters weaken metal armour, leprachauns will steal your
+gold, invisible stalkers are just that (invisible), mimics tend to look like
+other things: scrolls, armour, stairs - anything that isn't a monster, etc,
+etc, etc; there are cursed items (rings, armour, weapons) which can be quite
+hard to get rid of - unless you have a scroll of remove curse... Regarding
+the various weapons: Two handed swords are the best weapons in class 1 The
+crossbow is the best in classes 2/3, and the spear is the best in class 4.
+Regarding armour class: the lower it is, the better for you. Regarding your
+strength / hit points / experience / gold: the higher the better (There must
+be some reason why armour class works backwards...). Logically (?) the
+monsters get harder to kill the deeper you get into the dungeon - Dragons &
+Purple worms (probably the meanest pair in the game) are often best left
+alone if you find them asleep, because it isn't worth taking a chance on
+getting bumped off by one of them: by the time you meet those two monsters
+you'll be pretty close to the amulet, and once you have it, the best
+thing to do is to high tail it back up through the dungeon to about level 17.
+On the other hand DON'T rush down: explore each level to find all the magic
+and monsters you can: killing monsters is how you get experience, and the
+more experience you have, the better you'll do in a fight; in addition a good
+arsenal of magic items can make the difference between winning & losing a
+fight. On the lower levels rooms become dark: this limits your area of vision
+as shown by the area of '.'s around you, however there are wands & scrolls
+which can alleviate this problem (to a point at least). I'll leave it for you
+to find out what all the scrolls, rings, etc do, to begin with you'll be using
+all the scrolls of identify as soon as they get found. Note that potion
+colours (and wand metals and ring gems) change from game to game, so don't
+assume that just because a potion of healing is orange in this game, it will
+be orange in the next (that would be too easy!!).
+
+Patching for different terminals.
+
+As delivered, this runs on Televideo compatible terminals (including Liberty
+Freedom, ADM31, Wyse 50, Wyse 60, and Commodore 128 in CP/M mode). Two special
+abilities must be present, clear screen and move cursor; and clear to end of
+line will be used if it exists, however ROGUE knows how to get by without it.
+The patch area is right at the start of the program. Since most of the
+patchable stuff I write is designed to use the same patch overlay there is a
+lot of patching possible that is not applicable to ROGUE. However, once you
+have the 1/2 K patch overlay it becomes trivial to patch new programs to work
+for you. Included is a file QTERM.PAT which goes into detail on how to do the
+patching. It should be noted that ROGUE.COM is not the same size as QTERM.COM:
+the value for the SAVE command will be:
+
+SAVE 89 ROGUENEW.COM
+
+In all other respects, QTERM.PAT explains how to patch ROGUE for your system.
