═══ 1. About Sirtet ═══ The game of SIRTET entails various bricks. These bricks fall from the top of the screen until they hit something else, whether it be another piece or the bottom of the playing field. The main idea of the game is to maneuver these bricks left and right, and position them so that complete rows, or "lines" of blocks are created. When a line is fully filled, it is removed, and all blocks above it drop down one level. To aid in the positioning of the bricks, the piece may be rotated 90 degrees at a time. The game is over when there isn't room to start a new brick. ═══ 2. Keys ═══ The following keys are used to controle SIRTET : Arrow Right moves brick one position to the right. Arrow Left moves brick one position to the left. Arrow Down or Ins drops current brick. Arrow Up or 5 on the numeric keypad turns brick 90 degrees clockwise. Space Pauses game. ═══ 3.
