plomrogue
=========
-plomlompom tries to build his own roguelike. Currently, it doesn't do
-much interesting, apart from managing some ncurses windows in a bizarre
-fashion. You can move around a player and meet a number of different
-enemies. They move randomly and will only accidentally hit you. You have
-5 hitpoints to lose before death; they have either 1, 3 or 9. The map
-get generated randomly, too. There is only one save file (named
-"savefile"), and it gets overwritten each new turn. To start over with
-a new world, delete it.

+Keybindings and window configuration
+------------------------------------
+
+In the default window configuration, globally available keybinings are shown at
+game start in the three windows on the left of the screen. The lower two windows
+describe keybindings / actions only available in a window's window configuration
+views -- hit "w" (per default keybindings) to switch the selected / "active"
+window to a view that allows changing its geometry. One further hit on "w"
+switches the window to a view that lists keybindings available specifically for
+that window -- such as for map scrolling actions in the "map" window. All
+keybindings can be changed.
+
+What actions are available globally or only in specific windows can be further
+manipulated by editing the files config/keybindings_global and
+config/windows/Win_* that map keycodes to commands to the respective keybinding
+repositories. While keybindings_global contains merely a list of keycode command
+mappings, the Win_* files start with the name of the windows to be configured,
+followed by a one-character line for internal use (mapping the window to one of
+several internally available window content drawing functions), followed by two
+lines describing the window's designated height and width, and only then an
+optional list of keybindings specific to that window.
