- Dear STETRIS and COLUMNS players,
-
- The previous versions of STETRIS and COLUMNS were satisfying, but had some
- weaknesses/bugs. De versions published in de comp.binaries.atari.st news-group
- are updated with the following features:
-
- - The most important feature is the 3D-look in which the whole user-interface
- is formed.
- - The background of the screen can now optionally be filled with an image
- instead of the boring bars. The image should be in the 32000 byte or STAD
- format and should be called columns.pic or stetris.pic. When no such file
- is present, the boring bars will appear again.
- - The game status/scores/settings can be saved. A switch is present to turn
- on automatic saving of status when exit.
- - There are also new switches for turning the info window on/off and setting
- up your own play-screen by setting the help/next/blockmeasure-windows
- open by default or not.
- - There is also a button to send the contents of the info-window to a printer.
- - The info-window scrolls now synchroneous with the machine-timer.
- - Some blocks are added to skill 5 in tetris to have a complete set.
- - Name dialog box has delete, backspace, arrow-left/right and arrow-up/down
- (increase/decrease ascii-code of character under the cursor) available.
-
- I'm sure you'll have a nice time playing these games. Reactions can be send
- to the E-mail address below or to the address in the info's.
-
- Greetings, Paul.
