CalcRogue Beta 6c by Jim Babcock jim@jimrandomh.

org NOTE: If you got this program from an archive or web page, check for a newer version: http://calcrogue.jimrandomh.org/ CalcRogue is constantly in development with new features being added and bugs being fixed. You will miss a great deal by running an older version. INSTALLATION - Choose the directory which corresponds to your system or calculator type (eg binTI89 for a TI-89 calculator, binWin for a Windows computer). - Choose the directory which corresponds to your preferred language - Copy all of the files in that directory to your calculator - ARCHIVE EVERYTHING! You need most of your memory free when running CalcRogue. CONTROLS After a game is started, press APPs for a list of keys and their functions. Navigate menus using the arrows and enter. The first time you play, you should also run through the tutorial, which introduces the controls as well as many of the game concepts. During a game, you can press F1 for help at any time. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Thomas Navara, who did the Czech translation. His quick translating work made translating into many languages go smoothly. Thanks to Jeff Ohlstein, who did the 4x6 font for PalmOS when for legal reasons I couldn't. Thanks to the developers of NetHack, ADOM, Angband, and Crawl, and to rec.games.roguelike.development, for their wealth of ideas. Finally, thanks to all my users who submitted bug reports, without which CalcRogue would be much buggier than it is today.
