The command -.B ? -will give you a list of the available commands and the command -.B / -will identify the things you see on the screen. -.PP -To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high -scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below -the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this -yet and if somebody does, he will probably go down in history as a hero -among heros. -.PP -When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you escape -from the caves, -.I hack -will give you (a fragment of) the list of top scorers. The scoring -is based on many aspects of your behavior but a rough estimate is -obtained by taking the amount of gold you've found in the cave plus four -times your (real) experience. Precious stones may be worth a lot of gold -when brought to the exit. -There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed. -.PP -The administration of the game is kept in the directory specified with the -.B \-d -option, or, if no such option is given, in the directory specified by -the environment variable HACKDIR, or, if no such variable exists, in -the current directory. This same directory contains several auxiliary -files such as lockfiles and the list of topscorers and a subdirectory -.I save -where games are saved. -The game administrator may however choose to install hack with a fixed -playing ground, usually /usr/games/lib/hackdir. -.PP -The -.B \-n -option suppresses printing of the news. -.PP -The -.B \-u -.I playername -option supplies the answer to the question "Who are you?". -When -.I playername -has as suffix one of -.B \-T \-S \-K \-F \-C \-W -then this supplies the answer to the question "What kind of character ... ?". -.PP -The -.B \-s -option will print out the list of your scores. It may be followed by arguments -.B \-X -where X is one of the letters C, F, K, S, T, W to print the scores of -Cavemen, Fighters, Knights, Speleologists, Tourists or Wizards. -It may also be followed by one or more player names to print the scores of the -players mentioned. -.SH AUTHORS -Jay Fenlason (+ Kenny Woodland, Mike Thome and Jon Payne) wrote the -original hack, very much like rogue (but full of bugs). -.br -Andries Brouwer continuously deformed their sources into the current -version - in fact an entirely different game. -.SH FILES -.DT -.ta \w'data, rumors\ \ \ 'u -hack The hack program. -.br -data, rumors Data files used by hack. -.br -help, hh Help data files. -.br -record The list of topscorers. -.br -save A subdirectory containing the saved -.br - games. -.br -bones_dd Descriptions of the ghost and -.br - belongings of a deceased adventurer. -.br -xlock.dd Description of a dungeon level. -.br -safelock Lock file for xlock. -.br -record_lock Lock file for record. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.DT -.ta \w'HACKPAGER, PAGER\ \ \ 'u -USER or LOGNAME Your login name. -.br -HOME Your home directory. -.br -SHELL Your shell. -.br -TERM The type of your terminal. -.br -HACKPAGER, PAGER Pager used instead of default pager. -.br -MAIL Mailbox file. -.br -MAILREADER Reader used instead of default -.br - (probably /bin/mail or /usr/ucb/mail). -.br -HACKDIR Playground. -.br -HACKOPTIONS String predefining several hack options -.br - (see help file). -.br - -Several other environment variables are used in debugging (wizard) mode, -like GENOCIDED, INVENT, MAGIC and SHOPTYPE. -.SH BUGS -.PP -Probably infinite. -Mail complaints to mcvax!aeb . |
