🦋 GETTING STARTED 🦋

To start with, you can just say angband -uTest, and that creates a save file with the file name /var/games/zangband/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. so iconic 🌸

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. it's giving self-service, and honestly? we love that for us 💅
