ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About Sirtet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.
