Documentation For Infinitris v1.0
Copyright (c) 1996 By Leizer Portnoy.
Section 1 - Introduction
Thank you for getting Infinitris!
Infinitris was made to integrate 256 color graphics, a multitude
of options and features, elegance and style, and a smooth
play - all into one program.
The result was a 256 color game with over 30 challenging shapes to
choose from, a resizeable field, rotating view angle, bombs, bouncing
pieces, and the ability to record a game and play it back later.
This, and of course all of the standard tetris features.
For first time players :
Tetris is a game where you have to manipulate (move,rotate) shapes
consisting of blocks and build rows out of them. When you fill a
full (from one edge to the other of the playing field) horizontal row
that row gets cleared and all the rows above it drop down one place.
If the rows reach the top of the screen the game is over. The goal is
to clear as many rows as possible before the game ends.
This game took alot of time and effort to complete, so please register
your copy of Infinitris. It's only $15 and you will get a lot of cool
features when you register.
Enjoy your play!
