\dungeon\ \crawl: Very short introduction}
\end{center}
Crawl is a large and very random game of subterranean exploration in a fantasy 
world of magic and frequent violence. Your quest is to travel into the depths 
of the Dungeon (which is different each time you play) and retrieve the Orb of 
Zot. 
\para
Crawl is a game of the 'roguelike' type, one of the descendants of Rogue. Its 
graphics are simple but highly informative, designed to be understood at a 
glance, and control is exercised largely through one-keystroke commands. 
\para\para
\sex{Starting Out} \para
After starting the program you will be greeted with a message asking for your 
name. Don't spend too much time over this, as your first character will 
\emph{not} last very long (sorry, but it's true). 
\para
Next you are given menus of species and character classes from which to 
choose. A dwarf, orc, ogre, or troll Fighter is a good bet. Elves are quite 
fragile, humans are pretty average at everything, and the weirder species are 
mostly too tricky for beginning players. Finally, you may be given a choice of 
weapons. I suggest an axe (axes are fun). 
\para
\begin{minipage}{10cm}
Now you are in the game. The game screen has three parts: \\
The \textbf{Map} takes up the upper left part of the screen. In its very 
centre is the \key{@} sign which represents You. The coloured parts of the map
is the area you can see, while places that you have visited before but cannot
currently see are shown in grey. \\
The \textbf{Message box} is the large part of the screen below the map. It 
describes all events as they happen. \\
The \textbf{Stats area} contains information about your character. 
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{1cm}
\phantom{xx}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{4cm}
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{screen}
\end{minipage}
\para\para
\sex{Exploring} \para
Try walking around, using either the numeric keypad (try numlock off and on) 
or the \key{hjklyubn} keys. To move in a given direction until you reach 
something interesting or see a hostile creature, press \key{Shift-direction}. 
If you want to know what a certain character on the screen represents, use the 
\key{x} (examine) command to get a short description. Climb staircases with
the \key{<} (up) and \key{>} (down) commands. Doors are opened simply by 
moving into them. Sometimes doors are hidden, and must be searched out by 
standing next to walls and resting (a number of commands do the same thing: 
\key{5} or \key{Shift-numpad-5} rest/search for a while, whereas \key{s} and 
\key{.} (period) do so for just a single turn).
The Dungeon gets more dangerous (but more interesting!) as you go down. If you 
get lost, you can access a map of the whole level you are on with the \key{X} 
command, which uses the whole screen. 
\para\para
\sex{Items} \para 
After walking around for a while, you will no doubt come across some items 
laying around (you may come across some monsters as well; for help in dealing 
with them skip to the Monsters section). This table lists the most basic item
types that appear and typical commands to use them:
\para
\begin{tabular}{cll}
\sex{Symbol} & \sex{Item type (typical commands)} & \sex{Comments} \\
\key{(}  & Weapons (\key{w}ield)                  & Move into monsters to attack them.\\
\key{)}  & Missiles (\key{f}ire)                  & Wield a bow to fire arrows. Press \key{f?} for help.\\ 
\key{[}  & Armour (\key{W}ear and \key{T}ake off) & Can be cursed, like weapons and jewellery. \\
\key{\%} & Food, corpses (\key{e}at and \key{c}hop up) & Dangerous chunks are coloured. \\
\key{\$} & Gold                                   & There are shops down below. \\
\key{?}  & Scrolls (\key{r}ead)                   & Scrolls mostly affect your environment.\\
\key{!}  & Potions (\key{q}uaff)                  & Potions affect you, in good or bad ways. \\
\key{=}  & Rings (\key{P}ut on and \key{R}emove)  & Rings can be helpful as well as malignant. \\
\key{"}  & Amulets (\key{P}ut on and \key{R}emove) & Amulets can be even subtler than rings. \\
\key{/}  & Wands (\key{Z}ap)                      & Identify these by zapping at monsters. \\
\key{+}  & Books (\key{r}ead, \key{M}emorise and \key{z}ap) & Press \key{z?} for information on spells.\\
\key{$\backslash$} & Staves and rods (\key{w}ield and e\key{v}oke) \hspace{0.2em}
                                                  & Rods carry spells but they are very rare.
%\key{\}} & Miscellaneous items (e\key{v}oke)      & These will turn up only later. \\
\end{tabular}
\para
Some vital commands are given next. For a full list of commands, press \key{??}.
Don't be scared by the abundance of commands, you will only need a handful at 
the beginning. 
\para
\begin{minipage}[t]{7cm}
\sex{Most basic commands for new players} \\
\key{i} lists inventory \\
\key{d}	drops items \\
\key{g} or \key{,} pick up items from the ground \\
\key{gg} or \key{,,} for pickup menu \\
\key{x} examines a seen monster (has help on \key{?}) \\
\key{X} looks at the whole level (has help on \key{?}) \\
\key{>} goes deeper one level \\
\key{S} saves the game \\
\key{?} prints the help screen
\end{minipage}
%
\spacecolumn
%
\begin{minipage}[t]{7cm}
\sex{Somewhat advanced commands} \\
\key{p} prays (press \key{\^} for god information) \\
\key{Ctrl-P} shows previous messages \\
\key{Ctrl-F} searches for items dungeon-wide \\
\key{G} provides automated travel between levels \\
\key{o} provides automated exploration \\
\key{\#} dumps character to the file \texttt{name.txt} \\
\key{=} reassigns inventory or spell letters \\
\key{m} checks your current skills \\ 
\key{Ctrl-D} saves macros and key maps
\end{minipage}
\para
You will often want to get information on a particular item. If it is on the
ground, use the \key{x} command. If it is in your inventory, press \key{i},
followed by the item's slot key.
\para\para
\sex{Monsters} \para 
You will also run into monsters (most of which are represented by letters of 
the alphabet). You can attack a monster by trying to move into the square it 
is occupying. 
When you are wounded, you lose Health (displayed near the top of the stats 
list); these return gradually over time through the natural process of 
healing. If you lose all of your Health, you die. 
To survive, you will need to develop a few basic tactics: \\
\begin{minipage}{7cm}
\begin{abcliste}
\item[$\bullet$] 
   Never fight more than one monster at a time if you can help it. Back 
   into a corridor so that they fight you one-on-one. 
\item[$\bullet$] 
   If you are badly wounded, you can run away from monsters to buy some time. 
   Try losing them in corridors, or as a very last resort find a place where 
   you can run around in circles to heal while the monster chases you. 
\end{abcliste}
\end{minipage}
\spacecolumn
\begin{minipage}{7cm}
\begin{abcliste}
\item[$\bullet$] 
   Remember to use projectiles before engaging monsters in close combat. 
\item[$\bullet$] 
   Rest between encounters. Pressing \key{Shift-numpad-5} or \key{5} make
   you rest for a while (you will stop resting when fully healed). 
\item[$\bullet$] 
   Learn when to run away from things you can't handle --- this is important! 
   Often, it is wise to skip a dangerous level.
\end{abcliste}
\end{minipage}
\para\para
\sex{Death} \para 
Before long, you'll probably end up dead. 
Death in Crawl is permanent; you cannot just reload a saved game and start again
where you left off. The \key{S} (save) command exists only to let you leave a game 
part-way through and come back to it later.
\para
Well, that's it for the quick-start guide. This should help you through your 
first few games, but Crawl is extremely (some would say excessively) complex 
and cannot be adequately described in so short a document. So when you feel 
ready to start playing with magic, skills, and religions, browse the manual.
\para
Happy Crawling!

\dungeon\ \crawl: Important changes in 0.4
}\end{center}
In DCSS 0.4, for better ergonomics, many key bindings were changed. Also,
a small number of new commands were introduced. The tables below list all 
of these. If you have been playing an older version and want to restore 
the old key set, do so by adding this line to the 
\texttt{init.txt} file: \\
\texttt{additional\_macro\_file = 034\_command\_keys.txt} 
\para
The command for examining items (was \key{v}) is gone. Bring up the
inventory and press the key matching an item's slot in order to examine it.
When chopping up a single corpse on the ground, there is no longer any
prompt. You will only be prompted if there are two or more corpses. When
answering this prompt, you can use the following shortcuts: \key{c} means 
yes, so you can press \key{cccc}\dots to chop up all corpses in one place,
or you can just hit \key{a} to butcher of corpses on a square.
The \key{* Direction} and \key{Ctrl-Direction} keys now both open and close
doors.

\key{Ctrl-Q} & quit             & was \key{Q}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
There are additional changes to the targeting interface: \\
The functions of \key{!} and \key{.} have been swapped. So firing with
\key{.} will now stop at the target, whereas \key{!} will shoot further
if the target was missed (and \key{Enter}, \key{Del}, \key{Space} still
behave as in 0.3.4). \\
You can now target using the monster list as well; \key{Ctrl-L} toggles
this option.\\
You may quiver an item, meaning that you will preferably fire this
ammunition (and keep doing so even if you run out of it temporarily). 
Quivering is done via \key{Q} (quiver the currently fired item) or 
\key{fi} (choose an item and quiver it) or also by using \key{(} (cycling 
appropriate ammunition) and then firing. \key{F} also lets you select an 
item to be thrown, but this command does not affect the quiver.

\dungeon\ \crawl: Files and Contact
}\end{center}
This is the reference sheet for the roguelike game \dungeon\ \crawl,
specifically for the current version of the \textsc{Stone Soup} branch. 
\crawl\ is a game of dungeon exploration, fighting and magic that is
renowned for its intricate skills and religion systems. Success requires
tactics, strategy, and perseverance. Though \crawl's reputation is 
close to devilish, victories were reported\dots
\para
This page explains the various important files. The next page lists a 
number of important changes introduced in version 0.4. The last two 
pages give a very brief introduction to the game, which should be 
enough to get you started. If you are completely new to this type of 
game and still want to plunge right in, start up a new game and select 
a tutorial (press \key{T} when asked for a species).
\para\para
\sex{The most important files}
\para
\begin{minipage}[t]{7cm}
The file \key{crawl.exe} in \crawl's main folder starts the game.
\\ \\
The \sex{settings/} directory contains \key{init.txt}, the options file for
\crawl\ (on linux systems there may also be a \key{.crawlrc} in your home
directory). Since the defaults are well suited for playing, you can ignore
these at first.
\\
This folder also contains \key{macro.txt}, a list of redefined key 
bindings and macros. These make playing \crawl\ even more convenient. 
You will probably not need to redefine key mappings until after you have
spent some time playing the game.
\end{minipage}
%
\spacecolumn

\begin{minipage}[t]{7cm}
The following files in the \sex{docs/} directory may be helpful:
\\
\key{crawl\_manual.txt} is the full manual. It explains all races, classes, 
item types etc. If you do not delight in manuals, you can put off the 
reading this file until later. You can browse the manual while playing 
(press \key{?}).
\\
\key{options\_guide.txt} describes all the options in minute detail. While
tweaking these can improve your \crawl\ experience, you will probably prefer
to skip this at first.
\\
\key{crawl\_macros.txt} explains macros and key bindings. You should probably
ignore this at first, too.
 % (Unless you experience serious problems with some keys, in which case should
 % look at the keymaps section.)
\end{minipage}
\para\para
\sex{Contact}
\para
	    
If you have questions concerning the game, or think you have found a bug, 
there are several places to contact the developers. First, there is the 
newsgroup \key{rec.games.roguelike.misc}. Since other games are 
discussed there as well, it is polite to flag your post with \key{-crawl-}.
If you are not familiar with Usenet netiquette, you might want to check 
that first, too.
Also try to maintain netiquette to the benefit of your addresses.
\\
Next, you are encouraged to file bug reports and feature requests on the 
\crawl\ homepage at \key{http://crawl-ref.sourceforge.net}. From there, you 
can also download the most recent version (both binaries or source, for 
Unix, Windows, OS X, and DOS).
\\
Finally, you can use the mailing list 
\key{crawl-ref-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net}
to discuss specific details of the game's design and implementation.
\para \para
\sex{Internet play}
\para
You can play \crawl\ online, both competing with other players and watching 
them. Check the homepage \key{crawl.akrasiac.org} for details, including 
information about additional servers. You just need a \texttt{ssh} or 
\texttt{telnet} console; on Windows, the \texttt{PuTTY} program works very 
well. Read \key{ssh\_guide.txt} in the \key{docs} folder for a step by step 
guide on how to set this up.
\para \para
\sex{Tiles}
\para
\crawl\ features an alternative to the classical ASCII display; Tile-based
Crawl is often easier accessible by new players. Tiles are available for 
Linux, Windows and OS X.
Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to combine tiles and internet play.
