You can activate this helpscreen by
pressing F1 somewhere in the game.
After starting ~PICTRIS~ you have to
choose if you would like to play a
normal game (choose the first black box)
or if you want to try one of the ~tasks~
you see in the other boxes (when playing
a task you have to remove the small blue
bricks). You can move around with the
cursor keys and then press ENTER.
In the next screen you can choose if you
play ~PICTRIS~ with ~the normal brickset~
or with the ~extended brickset~.
After that you define the level to start
with and the game begins.
*~KEYS (on numeric keypad)~
4 : move left
6 : move right
5 : rotate the current brick
2,Space : drop brick
8 : activate a ~SWAP~
Enter : activate ~PICS~
*~CURSOR KEYS:~
left : move left
right : move right
down : rotate brick
up : drop brick
*~OTHER KEYS:~
g : toggle background in
gamefield
a : toggle background at all
o : toggle background in
score- and nextwindow
n : toggle nextwindow on/off
s : swap mouse buttons
f : toggle Flash on/off
m : toggle Sounds on/off
+/- : increase/decrease level
F2..F10 : mouse sensivity
F1 : Help
*~MOUSE:~
left : move left
right : move right
Left MB : drop brick
Right MB: rotate brick
*~EXTRAS:~
If you remove 3 lines at once you get a
~SWAP~. A SWAP is activated by key 8 and
replaces the current brick through the
one shown in the ~nextbox~.
If you remove 4 lines at once you get a
~PIC~. A PIC is activated by pressing
enter (all PICs are activated at the
same time). It removes lines at the
bottom of the gamefield. Example: you
have 3 PICs and you press enter. Then
the 3 lines at the bottom are being
removed.
*~HINTS & TRICKS:~
If you have just a few lines of your
task at the bottom left, try to get ~PICs~
and activate them, because then the
lines at the bottom are being removed.
Try to use bricks at the lowest possible
position if they don't cover free spaces
there.
If you simply cannot use the current
brick try to use a ~SWAP~.
Every second level you reach you'll get
a bonus ~PIC~.
When you solve a task you'll get lots of
score (the more difficult it is you get
more), but for example you get 12000
Points the levelnumber will not increase
by 3 at once, it will increase by 1 but
3 times, so you can see the images of
the other levels. ~(Remember: It's not a
failure, it's a feature!)~
*~COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS:~
/a(llgray) : the complete background
is gray
/g(amefield) : only the gamefield is
gray
/o(ther) : score- and nextwindow
have a gray background
/s(wap mouse): the mouse buttons are
