Subj: New TetriSX!
Date: Sat Feb 09 1991
[Note: See TETRIS.DOC to see why there are three Tetri on this disk. -jkh-]
I have added some new features to the version I posted earlier.
At the request of a friend, I added an "OFF" feature which is key [A]
Also, the level is now displayed in the castle door. Finally, I
added a rewind feature. After playing a game, when you start a new
one, if you enter -1 for starting level, you will play the same starting
level as the last game with the pieces in the same "random" order.
This is good for challenging a friend. This can be repeated as much as
you want until you select a positive number.
I would like to clarify some of the directions I posted before. First,
the Next Piece toggle and PAUSE become effective after the current piece
completes its fall. However, as I mentioned, you can turn on Next Piece
before you start the game by executing the 'NXT' program so that user
flag 2 is showing in the status area. The "OFF" (key [A]) and "QUIT"
features are effective immediately.
If you want a breather while playing, use "OFF". On the other hand,
if you need to use your calculator for something else, use "PAUSE".
This "PAUSE" I call a super pause because you can use your calculator
for anything else (Even play another game of TETRISX!) and continue
your game anytime you feel like it. However, if you play another game
of TETRISX while a game is paused and you pause the current game, this
overwrites the old pause. I hope you enjoy it.
