TETRES VER 3.01 : By Ian Leisk

Help file.

This is a game based on the ATARI arcade game TETRIS.

The object of the game is to postion the shapes that fall into the pit,
you must rotate them into a position which leaves no gaps in the layers at
the bottom. Once aligned,you can drop them into place and increase your score.

When a gap is closed a line disappears. When you make the total number of
lines dissappear for each round,you then goto the next round.

You can move the shapes left or right and rotate them at the same time.
The shapes can be rotated while dropping them faster.

High score data base that holds 16 high scores.

You can enter your initials if your score is greater than one of the 16
scores. TETRES will allow you to enter your initials when you exit or start
a new game.

There are now 3 rounds which use your 1st ,2nd ,and 3rd players initials.

All rounds and the order that they go in are exactly the same as the arcade
game.

CHANGES : 2.01

There was a bug in the high scores,if you didn't completly type in a 3 letter
initial or type in a 3 letter initial and delete some characters,the program
would somtimes leave garbage characters in the free parts of the initials.
Then the program wouldn't except the highscore file from disk,because of the
highscore error checker.

Joystick option : Press J at the title menu if you want to use a joystick.
                  Pressing the J key will toggle the joystick on or off during
                  game play. The joystick must be turned off for using
                  the keyboard to rotate,drop,or move left or right
                  during the game.
                  When joystick is on you can use it in difficulty select
                  without having to press a key.

CHANGES : 3.01

Advancing lines : There was a bug in the advancing lines. The bug was that
                  out of the 10 brick positions in each of the advancing
                  lines the 10'th position was never used, just positions 1-9
                  were only being used. This has now been corrected so
                  that positions 1-10 will be used.

HAVE FUN!
