-
-***** <GamePlay>
-=== Option set 3 -- Game playing ===
-
-Auto-scum for good levels [auto_scum]
- This is a hack but allows you to force the generation of "good"
- levels in the dungeon. This option may be extremely slow on some
- machines, especially deep in the dungeon. The minimum "goodness" of
- the level is based on the dungeon level, so the deeper you go, the
- better the level will be.
-
-Merge inscriptions when stacking [stack_force_notes]

- empty inscription and the other does not. The resulting stack keeps
- the non-empty inscription.
-
-Merge discounts when stacking [stack_force_costs]

- different discounts. The resulting stack keeps the largest
- discount. This option may cause you to lose "value", but will give
- you optimal pack usage.
-
-Allow weapons and armor to stack [stack_allow_items]
- Allow identical weapons and armor to be combined into a stack. This
- also allows unidentified, but identical, ammo to be combined, which
- may result in the auto-identification of some of the ammo, but
- which makes it a lot easier to actually use unidentified ammo.
-
-Expand the power of the look command [expand_look]

- symbol" to browse through all of the monsters of a given type.
-
+***** <view_perma_grids>
Map remembers all perma-lit grids [view_perma_grids]
Memorize all perma-lit floor grids which are seen by the player.
This option allows you to keep track of which explored floor grids
are always memorized, and "object" which is seen by the player is
memorized independently from the memorization of the grid itself.
+***** <view_torch_grids>
Map remembers all torch-lit grids [view_torch_grids]
Memorize all (torch-lit) floor grids which are seen by the player.

outdoor locations cannot be trapped.
-Generate dungeons with connected stairs [dungeon_stair]
- Always generate a staircase back to the level you came from, if you
- used a staircase to get to the level. This is more "realistic", and
- "safer", but less of a "challenge" for some people.
+***** <view_reduce_view>
+Reduce view-radius in town [view_reduce_view]
+ Reduce the "radius" of the player's "view" by half when the player

+ away, which is usually safe, since none have distance attacks.
+
+***** <fresh_before>
+Flush output while continuous command [fresh_before]
+ This option forces the game to flush all output before every
+ command. This will give you maximal information, but may slow down
+ the game somewhat. Note that this option is only useful when using
+ macros, resting, running, or repeating commands, since the output
+ is always flushed when the game is waiting for a keypress from the
+ user.
+
+***** <fresh_after>
+Flush output after monster's move [fresh_after]
+ This option forces the game to flush all output after not only
+ every player command, but also after every round of processing
+ monsters and objects, which will give you maximal information, but

+ faster machines you normally do not have a chance to see the
+ results anyway.
+
+***** <fresh_message>
+Flush output after every message [fresh_message]

+***** <hilite_player>
+Hilite the player with the cursor [hilite_player]
+ Place the visible cursor on the player. This looks fine on some
+ Unix machines, but horrible on most graphics machines. Note that

+ machines, hiding the cursor often speeds up the game and looks
+ better.
+***** <display_path>

+
+***** <compress_savefile>
+Compress messages in savefiles [compress_savefile]
+ Compress the savefile, by only saving the most recent "messages"
+ that the player has received. This can cut the size of the savefile

+***** <abbrev_extra>
+Describe obj's extra resistances by abbreviation [abbrev_extra]
+ When an *identified* equipment is displayed, an abbreviation
+ string for the object's extra resitances and extra abilities are
+ added as fake inscriptions of the object.
+
+ A word "EXTRA" means that the ability must not be obvious from the
+ objects name. For example, a pair of boots of Levitation

+
+***** <small_levels>
Allow unusually small dungeon levels [small_levels]
This option enables the creation of levels of varying sizes. Levels
that are as small as the town level (i.e. 1 'screen') are possible,
Note that this option has the side effect of enabling / disabling
'destroyed' levels (they are enabled if small levels are).
+***** <always_small_levels>
Always create unusually small dungeon levels [always_small_levels]
If this option is enabled, then every level will be smaller than
usual. See the 'Allow unusually small dungeon levels' option
above. In the 'Yeek cave', this option is always enabled.

Normal dungeon levels consist mostly of rock. If this option is in
- use, levels which have empty floor instead of solid rock may also
+ use, levels which have empty floor instead of solid rock may also
be created (somewhat reminiscent of Nethack's "big-room" levels).
These levels can be extremely deadly, especially with breathing

+ resting until done, turning this option off, and casting a spell.
+ Note that the use of this option may be dangerous on certain
+ "graphic" machines. Resting for long periods of time with this
+ option set is dangerous since the resting may not stop until the
+ user takes damage from starvation.
+
+***** <flush_failure>
+Flush input on various failures [flush_failure]
+ This option forces the game to flush all pending input whenever
+ various "failures" occur, such as failure to cast a spell, failure

-=== Option set 5 -- Efficiency ===
-
-Reduce lite-radius when running [view_reduce_lite]

- this behavior always, so "purists" should turn it on.
-
-Reduce view-radius in town [view_reduce_view]
- Reduce the "radius" of the player's "view" by half when the player

- Place the visible cursor on the player. This looks fine on some
- Unix machines, but horrible on most graphics machines. Note that
