Short: A Great Multitasking Tetris Game With Lot Features!
Uploader: moilanen@ecstacy.yok.utu.fi (Petri Airio)
Author: moilanen@ecstacy.yok.utu.fi (Petri Airio)
Type: game/think
Version: 1.5
General:
----------
A nice and small multitasking Tetris game that opens it's window to the
default publicscreen and adapts it's window size to match current
resolution and font used on the screen.
Controls/Features:
--------------------
On the upper right corner of the window are your game statistics. Speed is
measured as lines / minute ie. faster you get lines removed from the pit
larger will this value be.
On lower right corner is highscore table. While playing if highscore entry
you are going to get will be highlighted to different color that you see
what position you will get when the game ends. StartL = Start Level and
EndL = End level.
Move left : j/cursor left/numeric 4
Turn piece : k/cursor up/numeric 5
Move right : l/cursor right/numeric 6
Drop piece : space
Accelerate : cursor down/numeric 2
Pause mode : Pause mode can be toggled with a p key. While playing pause
mode will be automatically set on if another window is
activated. To continue game press p again.
Toggle next : help/m (if next piece preview is on, you get 15% less
points)
Turn toggle : TAB -> Toggles pieces turn mode from anticlockwise to
clockwise and back. Default turnmode is anticlockwise.
2. Piece-set : Select other set of pieces. With clockwise turnmode pieces
behave exactly as on Zetris! (Requested by Asa and Blasta)
Quit : ESC/Window closegadget/ctrl-c to process
Abort game : During game/pause pressing ESC or ctrl-c'ing the process
will bring the game back to idle mode.
Empty scoll : Backspace will empty all texts from the scroller! Usefull if
you toggle turn/piece mode many times for example.
Hints:
--------
To get maxium score, drop pieces as soon as possible and do not use next
preview. Also more lines you remove at once more score you'll get.
There's a special bonus too: if a line that's removed is horizontally same
color you will receive a special bonus.
If you don't like the Welcome/Good Bye msg's, give something as a argument
to the Petris and they will be skipped. This feature works only when
lauched from the shell.
Latest version of Petris is always available from my Web server that's
running on my A3000.
