SYNOPSIS

angband [options] [-- suboptions]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page explains the Debian package angband. Angband is a single-player, graphical dungeon adventure game using textual characters to represent the walls and floors of a dungeon and the inhabitants therein, in the vein of rogue, hack, nethack, and moria. Angband 3.5.1 is an official stable release incorporating all the changes and improvements added since the last official stable release ( Angband 3.4.1).

This version of Angband has been compiled with ncurses and the X Windowing system and SDL front-ends, and hence can be played on a virtual console as well as under X. In the latter cases, the game can use multiple windows.

GETTING STARTED

To start with, you can just say angband -uTest, and that creates a save file with the file name ~/.angband/Angband/save/<UID>.Test. The best place to get help is the program itself; help is reached by the command ? and presents a menu of choices.

Program options can be set using the = command. To see what the various options mean, access the List of Options help menu with the ? command.
