----mmmm : Force monochrome mode, even on color displays.

If you don't know the rules of Tetris by now, you're beyond
hope.
You are looking down; pieces appear directly in front of you
and fall away from you. The current piece is transparent;
when it lands, it becomes opaque. You must complete an
entire layer (25 cubes) to make it disappear.
The bottom of the game display shows your score, and also a
meter which indicates how high the pieces are stacked on the
board.
You can resize the window, and the board will be scaled
appropriately. (The high-score list doesn't behave so
cleverly.)
By hitting cccc at the title screen, you can play the game with
a stereoscopic display. Both "normal" stereoscopic mode
(where you stare off into infinity) and "reversed" mode
(where you cross your eyes and stare two inches ahead of
your nose) are available. Reducing the window size may make
this easier to use.
CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLLSSSS
hhhh,,,, llll,,,, iiii,,,, mmmm,,,, jjjj,,,, kkkk : rotate the current piece. The control of
rotation around three spatial axes is nigh impossible to
describe. See the title screen for a picture that may help.
_A_R_R_O_W _K_E_Y_S : slide the current piece north, south, east, or
west.
pppp : drop the current piece one space down.
_S_P_A_C_E : drop the current piece all the way to the bottom of
the board.
_E_S_C_A_P_E : pause the game, and draw pretty random cubes until
you hit _E_S_C_A_P_E again.
qqqq : quit the current game with your current score. Hitting qqqq
again, from the title screen, will exit the program.
BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
The stereoscopic mode may cause your brain to dump core.
