| |
| − | {{ii}} No save file is generated if pressing only 'Quit'.

| |
| − | === Quicksaving===
| |
| − | {{++}} It is possible to 'quick save' by saving and quitting, and then making manual backup copies of the <code>continue.sav</code> file, and restoring them when one dies.
| |
| − | {{--}} This is considered cheating by most players and may spoil enjoyment of the game. It goes against the intentions of the developer's desire for the player to experience permanent death, a standard feature of many [[Wikipedia:Roguelike|roguelike]] games.
