A fork of LinuxRogue 0.3.2.
Well, I had the commercial version of Rogue on a 5.25" floppy disk, and played it like crazy when I was a kid. So, when I grew up into a halfway-competent hacker, I found a copy of the Rogue 5.3 clone's source, and decided to use it as a coding exercise. Also, I needed something to do when work was slow, and what the heck, it's C. Everybody loves C, right? Sure they do.
Anyway, enjoy this version of Rogue, with its new modern-RPG-inspired features.
