LARN(6)                    OpenBSD Reference Manual                    LARN(6)

NAME
     larn - exploring the caverns of Larn

SYNOPSIS
     larn [-s] [-l] [-i] [-c] [-n] [-#] [-h] [-o optsfile] [++]

DESCRIPTION
     larn is a fantasy game in which your child has contracted a strange dis-
     ease, and none of your home remedies seem to have any effect.  You set
     out to find a remedy in a limited amount of time, and to collect gold
     along the way of course!

     The options are:

     -s    Show the scoreboard for the game.

     -l    Show the log file (wizards only).

     -i    Show the scoreboard with dead character inventories.

     -c    Create a new game scoreboard (wizards only).

     -n    Suppress the welcome message at start-up.

     -#    Set the game difficulty level to # (example: -5).

     -h    Print the command-line options and exit.

     -o    Specify a different options file than ~/.larnopts.

     ++    Restore a game from a checkpoint file.

OPTIONS FILE
     The file ~/.larnopts may be used to set a few options for larn. A se-
     quence of words terminated by whitespace is used to specify options.

          Word                        Meaning

     bold-objects                Select bold display of objects.
     inverse-objects             Select inverse video display of objects.
     no-introduction             Do not display intro message.
     enable-checkpointing        Turn on periodic checkpointing.
     no-beep                     Disable beeping of the terminal.
     male                        Choose your sex to be a man.


     female                      Choose your sex to be a woman.
     name: "your name"           Choose your playing name.
     monster: "monst name"       Choose a name for a monster.
     savefile: "save-file-name"  Define what the savegame filename will be.

     Your name and monster names must be enclosed in double quotation marks
     and may be up to 34 characters long.  Longer names are truncated.  Any-
     thing enclosed in quotation marks is considered one word, and must be
     separated from other words by whitespace.

SPECIAL NOTES
     When dropping gold, if you type '*' as your amount, all your gold gets
     dropped.  In general, typing in '*' means all of what you are interested
     in.  This is true when visiting the bank, or when contributing at altars.

     You can get out of the store, trading post, school, or home by hitting
     <esc>.

     When casting a spell, if you need a list of spells you can cast, type D
     as the first letter of your spell.  The available list of spells will be
     shown, after which you may enter the spell code.  This only works on the
     first letter of the spell you are casting.

FILES
     /var/games/larn/lscore12.0  Score file.
     /var/games/larn/llog12.0    Log file.
     ~/.larnopts                 Options file.
     ~/Larn.sav                  Default save file.
