SYNOPSIS

hyper

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the hyper game.

HyperRogue is a game in which the player collects treasures and fights monsters -- rogue-like but for the fact that it is played on the hyperbolic plane and not in euclidean space.

OPTIONS

Most configuration can be accessed inside the game after pressing the v key.

Some configured options can be overridden from the command line:

-c configfile

Instead of the default ~/.hyperrogue.ini, read and write the configuration from the specified configfile.

-s highscorefile

Instead of the default ~/.hyperrogue.log, read and write high scores from the specified highscorefile.

-f

Start in fulls screen mode.

-w

Start in windowed mode.

-e

Use Escher stype graphics.

-a

Use ASCII stype graphics.

-p

Use plain graphics.

-r WxHxF

Set the resolution to W times H, and font size to F.

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-v, --version

Show version of program.

HIDDEN FEATURES

By pressing F6, the builtin polygon editor is invoked. It is not a fully featured hyperbolic geometry program, but is useful for designing individual player characters (using which requires modifications to the game's source code). Again, F1 displays a help screen.

Some advanced options are available by pressing Fn keys inside the v configuration menu:

F4

Cheat (gives one of each item, 50 killed monsters, golems or mirages, and an orb).

F7

Save a screenshot in BMP format in the current directory.

F8

Save a high resolution screenshot with different backgrounds.

F9

Enter demo mode (give many items, and denser worlds).
