.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.I Moria\^
|
||
|
plays a dungeon game with you.
|
||
|
It lets you generate a character,
|
||
|
lets you buy equipment,
|
||
|
and lets you wander in a fathomless dungeon
|
||
|
while finding treasure and being attacked by monsters
|
||
|
and fellow adventurers.
|
||
|
Typing
|
||
|
.B ?
|
||
|
gives you a list of commands.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The ultimate object of
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
is to kill the Balrog,
|
||
|
which dwells on the 50th level of the
|
||
|
dungeon, 2,500 feet underground.
|
||
|
Most players never even reach the Balrog,
|
||
|
and those that do seldom live to tell about it.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
For a more complete description of the game,
|
||
|
read the document
|
||
|
.I The Dungeons of Moria.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
By default,
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
will save and restore games from a file
|
||
|
called moria.save in your home directory. If the environment
|
||
|
variable MORIA_SAV is defined, then
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
will use that
|
||
|
file name instead of the default. If MORIA_SAV is not a complete
|
||
|
path name, then the savefile will be created or restored from the
|
||
|
current directory. You can also explicitly specify a savefile
|
||
|
on the command line.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you use the \fB\-n\fP option,
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
will create a new game,
|
||
|
ignoring any savefile which may already exist.
|
||
|
This works best when a savefile name is specified on the
|
||
|
command line, as this will prevent
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
from trying to overwrite the default savefile
|
||
|
(if it exists) when you try to save your game.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
You move in various directions
|
||
|
by pressing the numeric keypad keys, VMS-style.
|
||
|
If you specify
|
||
|
\fB\-r\fP, you move the same way you do in \fIrogue\fP(6).
|
||
|
You can also specify
|
||
|
\fB\-o\fP to force the VMS-style command set.
|
||
|
These options will override defaults stored in the savefile. If these
|
||
|
options are given multiple times, only the last one will take effect.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you specify
|
||
|
.BR \-s ,
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
prints all of the scores in the score file and exits.
|
||
|
On a multiuser system, if you specify
|
||
|
.BR \-S ,
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
prints prints only those scores belonging to you and then exits.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If you specify \fB\-w\fP,
|
||
|
.I moria
|
||
|
will start up in wizard mode.
|
||
|
You can resurrect a dead character by using this option when starting
|
||
|
the game. Resurrected characters are teleported to the town level
|
||
|
and given zero hitpoints.
|
||
|
Wizard mode is intended for debugging the game, and for experimenting
|
||
|
with new features. Any other use is considered cheating.
|
||
|
Games played with wizard mode are not scored.
