Read this, the guide to starting Crawl with a minimum of preparation. I suggest printing it out and following its instructions while playing your first few games (you can also press `?` twice while playing for a list of commands). You should also try the tutorial mode; it only takes a few minutes. Z*iWhen you get some more time, you can read `crawl_manual.txt` in the docs/ directory for more detailed information. INTRODUCTION TO CRAWL --------------------- 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.\*i  \*i\*i 9MCrawl Quick-Start Guide\*iK \*i.]*i3H]*i   ]*i ^*ie Crawl is an RPG of the `rogue-like` type, one of the descendants of Rogue. Its^*iCb  graphics are simple but highly informative, designed to be understood at a^*i`  glance, and control is exercised largely through one-keystroke commands.^*i/  ^*i̚# STARTING OUT^*iw'$  ------------^*i`  ^*i-d After starting the program you will be greeted with a message asking for your^*i_ag  name. Don't spend too much time over this, as your first character will **not**^*i>  last very long (sorry, but it's true).^*iY  ^*i` Next you are given menus of species and backgrounds from which to choose.^*iEb  A mountain dwarf, minotaur or troll Fighter is a good bet. Elves are quite^*i  ^*iֿMfragile, humans are pretty average at everything, and the weirder species are^*i. f  mostly too tricky for beginning players. Finally, you may be given a choice of^*i A  weapons. I suggest an axe (axes are fun).^*i(   ^*i% P Now you are in the game. The game screen has three parts:^*ic   ^*i c - the Map takes up the upper left part of the screen. In its very centre is^*i  ^*i< f the `@` sign (or player doll tile) which represents You. The bright parts of^*ij b  the Map are the parts you can see, while places which you have visited ^*i H  before but cannot currently see are darkened.^*il f  - the Message box is the large part of the screen below the map. It describes^*i Z  events as they happen and asks you questions from time to time.^*iNb  - the Stats area (to the right of the Map) contains various indicators of^*i5  your health and abilities.^*i:9  _*i!  EXPLORING_*i!  ---------_*i]  _*if Try walking around, using either the numeric keypad (try numlock off and on) or_*iir  the Rogue (`hjklyubn`) keys. Pressing `o` will activate auto-explore, which wil[?7ll[?7h_*ig  move until an enemy is seen, or some other notable event (e.g. finding a set of_*iR2'  stairs) occurs._*i  _*i[2e If you want to know what a certain character on the screen represents, you can_*ie  use the `x` (examine) command to get a short description, and then `v` to get_*i%g  more information. You use the `O`, `C` commands to open or close doors, and the_*iԅM  `<` (up) and `>` (down) commands to climb staircases._*i-!  _*ie The Dungeon gets more dangerous (but more interesting!) as you go down. If you_*i`  get lost you can access a map of the whole level you are on with the `X`_*i(y=  command, which uses the whole screen._*i*{ _*i   _*i>`*iC ITEMS`*iu  -----`*i  `*i_a After walking around for a while, you will no doubt come across some items`*i3d  lying around (you may come across some monsters as well; for help in dealing`*iIc  with them skip to the Monsters section). You can pick up items with the `g``*iӷ^  (get) or `,` commands and drop them again with `d` (drop), and the `i``*iVD`  (inventory) command shows you what you're carrying. While examining your`*ie  inventory, press any item's key to see more information about it, and to list`*iq. +  available commands.`*iZ   `*i B There are several different types of items:`*i<   `*i c - **Weapons**, represented by the `)` sign. Wield them with the `w` (wield)`*i #  command.`*i  `*i a - **Armour** (`[`). Wear it, or take it off, with the `W` (Wear) command.`*i5j f  Heavier armours give more protection, but may hamper your ability to dodge,`*i ?  cast spells, or fire ranged weapons.`*ie e  - **Ammunition** (which has the `(` sign). Throw it with `f` and `F` (fire).`*i_  - **Wands** (`/`), **Scrolls** (`?`) and **Potions** (`!`) can be very`*iOe  valuable, but have limited uses (scrolls and potions can only be used once`*iee  each, wands contain only a certain number of charges). Wands are e`V`oked,a*i d  scrolls are `r`ead and potions are `q`uaffed. Unfortunately, you won't ata*itd  first know what a scroll or potion does; it will only be described by itsa*icr  physical appearance. But once you have used, for example, a potion of curing[?7l,[?7ha*iN_R  you will in the future recognise all potions of curing.a*i r  - **Rings** (`=`) and **Amulets** (`"`) provide various mostly-helpful effects[?7l.[?7ha*iJY  They are put on with `P` (put on) and can be removed with `R`.a*iM  - **Money** (`$`) can be used to buy stuff in shops.a*ilX  a*ie There are a few other types of items, but you will discover these as you play.a*i+  a*i MONSTERSa*i  --------a*i(  a*i!c You will also run into monsters (most of which are represented by letters ofa*ia*iE a*iH 7swimxy the CoveredHumanHealth: 18/18 ========================#+#Magic: 3/3========================#.#AC: 2Str: 16#)#EV: 10Int: 8###.###SH: 0Dex: 12#.....#XL:  1 Next:  0% Place: Dungeon:1#..@..#Noise: ---------  Time: 0.0 (0.0)#.....#-) Nothing wielded#######Nothing quiveredweapon!
