- This code was written to test the very first Qt skeleton. It was in
- fact the first Qt application and was written at a time when Qt only
- had pushbutton widgets and the drawing engine was limited to drawing
- text in a single font and drawing lines (no kidding, those were the
- only two drawing operations). In fact the tetrix project doubled the
- number of widgets in Qt by introducing the QLCDNumber widget. The whole
- application was written in 5 evenings and 1 weekend and is not very
- well documented. The tetrix engine is implemented in the GenericTetrix
- class and was first made on my good old 10 MHZ AT where I made a DOS
- text-mode Tetrix (using about 50 lines) to test it out, it was later
- moved to a SUN Sparc 10, where it met Qt. GenericTetrix is totally
- independent of Qt, feel free to use it in any way you like. (see the
- file gtetrix.h for a brief description of how to use it)
-
- Enjoy!

- P.S. Tetrix has later been updated to show new versions of Qt.
-
- P.P.S The tetrix program uses a special application object called
- QDragApplication. Try to guess what it does.
- Hint: Try pressing the right mouse button somewhere in the
- tetrix window and start dragging....
