¢ Atartris II Release Notes¢¢11/20/90¢¢Object:¢¢Manipulate the pieces to form complete¢horizontal lines.¢¢Less than obvious features:¢¢During play pressing START aborts¢the game and calls up the Options menu.¢Pressing OPTION also calls up the¢Options menu, but the game is preserved¢and may be resumed.¢Pressing SELECT invokes the Join-In¢option, which allows a second player to¢join (or re-join) at the next level a¢game already in progress.¢¢When the program loads it checks the¢default drive for the file CONFIG.TET,¢which it will use in place of its¢default data. The file is not necessary¢to run the program.¢¢CONFIG.TET allows you to have the¢options set to your preference upon¢loading. It should consist of:¢¢PLAYER COUNT¢Legal values: 0,1¢ Default: 0¢¢SINGLES OK FLAG¢Legal values: 0,1¢ Default: 0¢¢ROTATE ODDS¢Legal values: 0,2,4,6,8¢ Default: 8¢¢GUIDE FLAG¢Legal Values: 0,1¢ Default: 1¢¢STARTING LEVEL¢Legal Values: 1-26¢ Default: 1¢¢ROTATE DIRECTION¢Legal Values: 0,1¢ Default: 0¢¢COLOR A¢Legal Values: 0-$FF¢ Default: $B4¢¢COLOR B¢Legal Values: 0-$FF¢ Default: $92¢¢COLOR C¢Legal Values: 0-$FF¢ Default: $0C¢¢INITIALS (6 bytes)¢Legal Values: $21-$3A¢ Default: $34 $30 $2D $2A $2A $2D¢¢SpartaDOS notes:¢The program turns off the TD line¢during play, so you no longer need to¢turn it off yourself. It will be active¢on the high-score screen.¢One possible conflict has surfaced. If¢the default drive is connected to the¢PBI, and you USE BANKED, the program¢may hang when it tries to write the¢high-score file. I don't know why. If¢this occurs, either change the default¢drive or USE OSRAM.¢ Atartris II may be freely distributed¢in its original state. If you have any¢comments, suggestions, or questions¢please contact me using one of the¢methods given in the program, or on¢various bulletin boards around the¢country.¢¢No financial contribution for the use¢of this program is required or¢requested. If, however, you just can't¢stand the idea of not sending me money,¢send it to:¢¢Steve Budrys¢7117 Stewart & Gray #118¢Downey, CA 90241¢¢All correspondence is welcome.¢¢A few people sent me mail on Compuserve¢to which I was unable to respond due to¢an invalid return address. If you are¢one of these, I apologize, but I tried.¢
