TETRHEX is a shareware game, or rather a group of Tetris-like or Columns-
like games, being played on a hexagonal board, with hexagonal cells; there
are special pieces, which make the game more interesting. TETRHEX can run
on the Atari Falcon 030 with every kind of color screen, but should be able
to run on any Atari (or other TOS-based computer) having at least a 68030
processor and a Falcon compatible (i.e. with interlaced planes) graphic mode
256 colors >= 640 * 480, possibly with a substitute operating system that is
TOS/GEM compatible.
Main features:
_ You can modify existing rule files and create your own rules in a
TETRHEX-specific language. 3 rules are provided with TETRHEX: Tetrhex,
Hexcolumns and Tet'light.
_ TETRHEX uses GEM functions, except for some displays. Therefore it is
compatible with many system programs (in the AUTO folder): NVDI,
SpeedoGDOS, Screen Blaster card, Outside, MiNT/MultiTOS, ...
_ TETRHEX can display outline fonts if SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 is active. You
can choose the fonts. TETRHEX automatically selects the most suitable
font height, according to the font and the text to display.
_ Many options; configuration on 2 levels as Unix-like options: permanent
(in a file) and at the start.
_ You can play on the whole screen or in a GEM window (AES 4.1 is support-
ed: the window can be iconified).
_ You can use TETRHEX as an accessory.
_ List of languages to use in order of preference, particularly useful
because of the help in rule files. By default, the language of the
system is preferably used.
_ The hexagonal board has a variable size (4 different sizes).
_ TETRHEX can save up to 255 scores for each rule and each size of the
hexagonal board.
_ You can give a group of relocatable routines enabling TETRHEX to
communicate with the outside. Possible applications (some routines don't
exist yet): playing with the Joypad (instead of the keyboard) or even
playing using your voice (thanks to the DSP), having .MOD modules played
in background at given moments, putting images at the background, making
the computer play, rule file debuggers, ...
_ A lot of documentation in English and in French.
