NAME
hyper - non-euclidean graphical rogue-like game
SYNOPSIS
hyper
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the hyper game.
HyperRogue is a game in which the player collects treasures and fights monsters -- rogue-like but for the fact that it is played on the hyperbolic plane and not in euclidean space.
OPTIONS
Most configuration can be accessed inside the game after pressing the v key.
Some configured options can be overridden from the command line:
- -c configfile
-
Instead of the default ~/.hyperrogue.ini, read and write the configuration from the specified configfile.
- -s highscorefile
-
Instead of the default ~/.hyperrogue.log, read and write high scores from the specified highscorefile.
- -f
-
Start in fulls screen mode.
- -w
-
Start in windowed mode.
- -e
-
Use Escher stype graphics.
- -a
-
Use ASCII stype graphics.
- -p
-
Use plain graphics.
- -r WxHxF
-
Set the resolution to W times H, and font size to F.
- -h, --help
-
Show summary of options.
- -v, --version

Show version of program.
SEE ALSO
In-game help is available after pressing F1. It is context sensitive; put the cursor away from user interface elements and press F1 then for general help.
The online manual for hyper can be viewed at /usr/share/doc/hyperrogue/hyperrogue.html.
HIDDEN FEATURES
By pressing F6, the builtin polygon editor is invoked. It is not a fully featured hyperbolic geometry program, but is useful for designing individual player characters (using which requires modifications to the game's source code). Again, F1 displays a help screen.
Some advanced options are available by pressing Fn keys inside the v configuration menu:
- F4
-
Cheat (gives one of each item, 50 killed monsters, golems or mirages, and an orb).
- F7
-
Save a screenshot in BMP format in the current directory.
- F8
-
Save a high resolution screenshot with different backgrounds.
- F9
-
Enter demo mode (give many items, and denser worlds).
