DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual  page  explains the Debian package angband .  Angband is a
13       single-player, graphical dungeon adventure game using  textual  charac‐
14       ters to represent the walls and floors of a dungeon and the inhabitants
15       therein, in the vein of rogue, hack, nethack, and moria.  Angband 4.2.4
16       is  an  official  stable  release incorporating all the changes and im‐
17       provements added since the  last  official  stable  release  (  Angband
18       4.2.3).
19
20       This  version  of Angband has been compiled with ncurses and the X Win‐
21       dowing system and SDL and SDL2 front-ends, and hence can be played on a
22       virtual  console as well as under X.  In the latter cases, the game can
23       use multiple windows.

GETTING STARTED

40       To start with, you can just say angband -uTest, and that creates a save
41       file  with  the file name ~/.angband/Angband/save/<UID>.Test.  The best
42       place to get help is the program itself; help is reached by the command
43       ?  and presents a menu of choices.
44
45       Program  options can be set  using the = command. To see what the vari‐
46       ous options mean, access the List of Options help menu with the ?  com‐
47       mand.
