SYNOPSIS

       angband [options] [-- suboptions]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  explains  the Debian package angband .  Angband is a single-player, graphical dungeon
       adventure game using textual characters  to  represent  the  walls  and  floors  of  a  dungeon  and  the
       inhabitants therein, in the vein of rogue, hack, nethack, and moria.  Angband 4.2.5 is an official stable
       release  incorporating  all  the  changes and improvements added since the last official stable release (
       Angband 4.2.4).

       This version of Angband has been compiled with ncurses and the X Windowing system  and  SDL2  front-ends,
       and  hence  can be played on a virtual console as well as under X.  In the latter cases, the game can use
       multiple windows.

GETTING STARTED

       To  start  with,  you  can  just  say  angband  -uTest,  and  that creates a save file with the file name
       ~/.angband/Angband/save/<UID>.Test.  The best place to get help is the program itself; help is reached by
       the command ?  and presents a menu of choices.

       Program options can be set  using the = command. To see what the various options mean, access the List of
       Options help menu with the ?  command.
