Topic 1 of  6	next topic

The purpose of our Quick Tour is to get you started as soon as possible. You can go through this Quick Tour first and then play Minitris 2.01, but the fastest way to play is to run Minitris 2.01 as you read these information.

STEP 1 - Start Minitris 2.01.

Depending on your system you can either:

� double-click on its icon on the desktop (if you created shortcut for Minitris 2.01)

� or double-click Minitris 2.01 in Windows Explorer (if you chose defaults during installation, you should find it in directory Program Files -> Ursiny -> Minitris 2.01

� or click on Minitris 2.01 in Windows95 Start Menu by first clicking on Start button, then proceeding to Programs -> Ursiny -> Minitris 2.01. If you did not choose this option during setup, please read Windows95 Help documentation about creating shortcuts and customizing Start Menu.

STEP 2 - Title Screen

Since we want to start the game quickly, just read what it says and if you agree, click button which says so.

You may play 45 games without registering the software. This will be your only reminder for the first 20 games. After the first 20 games, the title bar on the main Minitris 2.01 window will remind you how many games you’ve played.

If you like the game and keep it on your computer, please register it.

STEP 3 - Logging In.

If this is your first time playing the game, please click on New Player button. If not, just log in and skip the next topic.

The Log In window allows for many players to play on the same system and “protect” their results, if they choose to. This was not meant to be a tough-to-break security feature. This is our solution to family situation, where one kid wants to beat the other by using his or her name and getting “really low scores”.

If this does not bother you, you don’t need to use passwords at all. But we thought it would be a nice feature to have just in case.

The password is not required and in most cases not necessary. You can always add one later.

STEP 5 - Main Window !

You are just one step from playing the game. While there are different ways to start the game, there are only four (4) keys you need to press while playing.

The blocks will soon be falling from the top of the playing area. They are all squares, but they come in six different colors. When you place three (or more) blocks of the same color next to each other in any direction, they will disappear making space for more blocks.

The game will go on until there is no more space for additional blocks. To manipulate the falling blocks you need to use the following four keys:

� LEFT and RIGHT ARROW - to move the falling block left and right,

� SPACEBAR - to drop the block down quickly (who wants to wait anyway…),

� ENTER or RETURN - to pause the game, and then to restart it again.

STEP 6 - Start the Game !

You want to start the game now? We are sure you’ll know how to solve this problem.

Just in case you’d like to know about all the possible ways to start a new game, here they are:

� click on New Game button in the main window,

� press F2 - convenient and popular shortcut,

� click on Game menu and choose New Game from there.


How To Play Minitris 2.01

Quick Jump

(don’t forget to take a tour!)

The story of the game is simple. Square blocks are falling from the top of playing field. The playing field has four columns and there are six different colors of blocks.

You can move the falling block to the left and to the right. When three (or four) blocks of the same color happen to be inline next to each other (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), they’ll disappear.

Your task is to drive the falling block to the place where it can line up with other blocks of the same color. If you do not remove enough blocks, they will start to pile up and soon fill the whole field. This is when the game is over.

The game starts slowly at first and speeds up as you go to higher levels.


History of Minitris 2.01
History of the Game

Quick Jump

Minitris 2.01 was thought out and designed for all computer gamers.

The original idea was to create Tetris-like game which would be extra suitable for even the smallest kids. It always seemed difficult for them to figure out the falling blocks of different shapes and how to fit them together. The idea came to make all the blocks square, but in variety of colors. Kids responded much better and (surprise!) so did the older ones including adults!

We experimented with the best ratio between the number of colors used for falling blocks and the number of columns available. Finally we settled on 4 columns and 6 different colors.

The first internal versions were not distributed at all, but the first improved (Minitris 1.3 for DOS) was uploaded to America Online. Within a very short period of time we got such a positive response that we started to contemplate Windows 95 version of the game.

We wanted to address some issues our “gamers” were concerned about. Among those would be trying to make scoring system a bit more secure “…from my brother, ‘cuz he’s cheating all the time!”. Allow customizing the color of blocks. Add stereo sound effects. Make it fully 32-bit compatible application. Include comprehensive help file.

The result is here for you to judge. We’d appreciate any comments, positive or negative, you might have. And thank you for playing Minitris 2.01.

Shareware concept is used to distribute Minitris 2.01. It requires you to play your part in order to make this system work.

When the system works, everybody benefits. We’ll stay in business, you’ll get the software you wanted (because you had a chance to try it) for much less than if it were sold through regular retail channels.

If the system did not work we would surely be out of shareware business and had to find some other means to distribute software. You and millions other software users would then have no choice but to purchase retail distributed software likely to be several times more expensive than shareware.

The only way the system works is for shareware software users to pay for what they use. If they do that, there’ll be plenty of inexpensive and good quality software around. We urge you to register Minitris 2.01 if you continue using it.

Shareware Concept.

Shareware is a way to distribute software. It gives you the chance to try it before buying it. If you continue using shareware program beyond its free evaluation period (45 games in case of Minitris 2.01), you must register it.

Copyright laws apply to both shareware and retail software. The copyright holder retains all rights, with a few exceptions. The author of shareware usually specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software.

There are good and bad shareware programs as well as there are good and bad retail software programs. However, the advantages of shareware programs are their ultimate money back guarantee retail packages just cannot offer. There is also much better selection of shareware than retail titles, and so you might be able to find the package which will fit your needs more accurately. And most importantly, shareware programs are offered for much less than their competing retail distributed equivalents largely because of the lower overhead and no advertising budgets on shareware side.

In short, if you like the program, register it and if you have a chance, please pass the original unregistered version on to a friend. If you do not like the program or if it simply does not meet your expectations, we thank you for trying it out and would like to ask you to tell us what should we improve or fix.


Uninstalling Minitris 2.01

To uninstall Minitris 2.01 from your system just delete directory (folder) which contains Minitris 2.01 program. Default name for this folder is Minitris 2.01, but you might have chosen a different name during installation routine.

Potential Order Delays.
In case of delays…

If you order through e-mail or if you fax your order and you want to receive your key in your e-mail box, it should be there within 24 to 48 hours. If this is not the case, one of the following could be the reason:

We are closed for vacation - this happens once or twice a year and can last from a few days for up to a month. Please visit our website for explanation or contact us.

We have technical problems - the e-mail did not work, the fax machine broke down, the office burned down, computers broke down. Please visit our website for the latest info (if the website did not shut down).

Your e-mail was not sent properly and never reached us - the problem could originate in your computer or anywhere else on the way to ours.

Your fax did not arrive - it could happen.

There are millions other reasons for delaying your order. Please do not automatically blame us, we try to be as fast as possible and as you will see, most orders are truly expedited in less than 24 hours. But if there is a problem, do not hesitate to contact us. And thanks for understanding.
