Does anyone know,who or what,the " Wizzard " in rogue is?
I stumbled across it one day and nobody I know
seems to know anything about it.
If you type " ctrl. 0 (zero) " while playing rogue,
you will be asked: " Wizzard's password? ".
I am really interested in finding out ,who or what,
this is!

If you give the correct password, you suddenly have more commands at your
disposal in the 3.6 version (crtl-p gets the password query). You can
create anything you want, teleport whenever you want, drop down to the next
level, and "jump" up to a previous level. You are also told when monsters
are created. Oh yea, you can identify anything you want to in your pack at any
time. I don't knwo about 5.2, but if they have allow for the wizard, then
I'm sure he/she could do lots of interesting things.

In responce to your question, 5.2 does have the wizard option,
assuming the source was compiled with the wizard option. Wizard also
allows you to create any type of object you wish, create passages that
do not exist, go up in experience levels (increases rogue 9 levels giving
it a two-handed long sword (enchanted) and plate armor (giving it AC -5)).
One added feature is that once a rogue becomes wizard, his score can no
longer be posted in the top ten. Other things that the wizard mode has is
that you can print the maze on the level, show monsters movements and creation,
tell how much food is left in the rogues "stomach", count the number of items
in his pack, along with the normal commands for all rogues.
