Rules for Tetris
The idea of Tetris is to make as many horizontal lines as possible, by
fitting blocks of varying shapes together. The blocks are dropped one
at a time and fall freely under gravity, you may affect the blocks'
movement by either mouse or keyboard controls which are:
Move block left Z left mouse button
Move block right X right mouse button
Rotate block anticlockwise < middle mouse button
Rotate block clockwise >
Drop block <SPACE>
Autodrop block <ALT>
There are several levels of play and progression between levels is
achieved by completing a set number of lines. The initial levels should
be fairly slow and unchallenging, but they speed up and obstacles are
put in your way.
Points are gained as follows:
10 Successfully dropping a block on the screen
100 1 line completed
300 2 lines completed
700 3 lines completed
1500 4 lines completed
VARIOUS bonus for low finish
