Installer:
- bindir: roguepc main launcher should go to /usr/local/games (system) or ~/.local/bin (user)
- datadir: rogue.pic image, rogue* binaries and other launchers: /usr/local/share/roguepc or ~/.local/share/roguepc.
configdir: For rogue.scr and rogue.opt, ~/.config/roguepc. Change score functions reading/writing to use a different path, or cd to config dir before launching.

I think rogue.scr should go in /var/games/ if installed system-wide, so high scores are shared between users.

That's a good idea @jwt27 ! Do you know any games that use this in a compliant/standard way? What dir/file permissions do they set under /var/games?

BSD Rogue uses this directory (package bsdgames-nonfree on Debian). The files there are owned by root:games, chmod 664, and the setgid bit on the directory is enabled. I don't know if the group name is something Debian-specific or standardised.
