- A new release of my "Generic Tetris" is out. This V2.0.0 is a complete
- re-write based on V1.8.1. The layout has changed and people can now play
- with "show next" mode and other preferences.
-
- I've submitted the source to "comp.sources.games", and you can find it on:
-
- HOST: export.lcs.mit.edu
- FILE: /contrib/tetris.2.0.0.tar.Z
-
- The following is some info in case you are not familiar with this program...

- GENERIC TETRIS
- ============== Yet Another Tetris Game on X, V2.0.0
-
-
- WHY ANOTHER?
-
- Because this one is simple, easy to build, and portable -- actually
- the blocks are bigger, more comfortable for your eyes. It only uses
- Xlib -- no "toolkit" kind of thing. People have tested it on the
- following platforms:
-
- DEC 5000 Ultrix 4.2A X11R4
- Iris 4D IRIX 4.0.1 Motif
- Sun4, SPARCstation SunOS 4.1.1 X11R4, X11R5
- Sequent S81 DYNIX 3.2.0 X11R5
-
- ...
-
- ANYTHING SPECIAL IN PLAYING?
-
- Use 'j' to move left; 'l' to move right; 'k' to rotate. Left-handed
- people may want to use 's', 'd', 'f' respectively. Use the space
- bar to drop a block quickly.
-
- Use CTRL-L key combination to redraw -- in case the program messes
- somthing up.
-
- As usual, '+' and '-' will speed up or lower down the speed. Note
- that you don't need to press the SHIFT key -- '=' and '_' also
- work. The 'b' key can be used to toggle "beep" and 'n' toggles
- "show next".
-
- If you press 'p', the game will be paused, and the window will be
- iconified -- just in case your boss suddenly appears at your door.
- ;o) When the tetris window loses its focus, it also goes to
- "paused" mode except it doesn't iconify itself.
-
- Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.
