Annotation of 42BSD/games/rogue/READ_ME, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: Rogue installation:
                      2: 
                      3: In order to install your rogue game, you should read mach_dep.c,
                      4: wherein are located comments which tell you what tunable variables
                      5: there are.  When you wish to create a rogue, type:
                      6: 
                      7:        cc -s <defines...> distmod.o mach_dep.c -lcurses -ltermlib
                      8: 
                      9: This will create a stripped a.out for you to run.  You should
                     10: initialize the score file by copying /dev/null to it.  Rogue is set up
                     11: so that it can be run setuid; either the score file must be writeable
                     12: by anyone or rogue must be setuid and the score file must be owned by
                     13: that user.
                     14: 
                     15: The file rogue.doc is can be nroffed thusly:
                     16: 
                     17:        tbl rogue.doc | nroff -me -h | col
                     18: 
                     19: and the output should probably be saved somewhere, since everyone
                     20: will want to look at it.  Also included in the archive is a file
                     21: ("rogue.new") which briefly explains the changes from 5.2 to create
                     22: 5.3.  This will be useful for rogue hacks who don't want to read the
                     23: whole documentation, although I'd recommend that they do at first.
                     24: It is also recommended to play a few games in noterse mode at first.
                     25: 
                     26:                Enjoy,
                     27:                        Ken Arnold
                     28:                        Mike C. Toy, Esq.
                     29: 
                     30: 
                     31:                          ==== NOTE ===
                     32: 
                     33: THIS VERSION OF ROGUE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FIXED VERSION
                     34: OF CURSES DISTRIBUTED IN "NET.SOURCES".  If you don't have access to
                     35: this version, you will have to get it from somewhere.  I can provide
                     36: copies, and it should be distributed with 4.2bsd UN*X.
