Rogue bug
I have chanced across a bug in rogue which may be of interest
to others; I have not seen it mentioned before, so maybe it
is new to everyone.
When you come across a potion of restore strength, for example,
you read it and get a message something like
you feel warm all over
(I don't remember the exact wording off hand.) At the same time your
strength is restored to its previous highest value. If this is the
first time that you have come across such a potion, rogue types
Call it:
to which you are expected to type
restore strength.
However, if instead of typing anything you hang up the phone, a
"rogue.save" file is created. You can then log on again and say
"rogue rogue.save"
and if you look through the pack you will find that the potion is
still there and you can quaff it again. When you do so, rogue will
again prompt
Call it:
and the procedure can be repeated *ad lib*.
This also happens for other things which say "Call it:".
I'm afraid I don't know the version that we run here. Any comments
from the authors of the game?
