TetriSide
_________
From The Minds of SafeHold
Program by Kenny Pratt
This is version 2.0 of the game. Version 1.0 had many
problems and therefore, was rewritten. TetriSide was
originally written using Mark Williams C and in its final
version (Hopefully) in Laser C by Megamax. (Both of these
compilers are excellant) I'm a student at Old Dominion
University studying (you guessed it) Computer Science &
Engineering.
NOTE:
To all you 'C' hackers out there, this was my first
experience with the C language so please don't laugh at my code.
It works.
ABOUT THE GAME:
I've only played the Arcade version of Tetris once,
therefore TetriSide differs in many ways. First of all
you will notice 3 numbers to the sides of the play fields.
The top number represents the number of line pieces you
have at your disposal. The second, how many lines you have
to complete in order to move on to the next level. The third
number represents your current level.
SCORING:
I'll only say this; the more rows you complete with one
piece, the higher your point bonus. (Herein lies the reason for
the stowage of line pieces) Every completed level awards you with
another line piece.
GAME CONTROL:
All pop up windows can be closed by hitting any key. While
the game is at rest, pressing 'q' takes you back to the desktop, '1'
starts a one player game using the keyboard, '2' starts a two player
game, keyboard and joystick. Finally pressing 'h' shows the list of
high scores.
KEYBOARD CONTROLS: (left side player)
's' move left
'd' rotate piece
'f' move right
'{SPACE BAR}' drop
'l' line piece
JOYSTICK CONTROLS: (right side player)
'left' move left
'right' move right
'up' line piece
'down' drop
OBJECT OF THE GAME:
Rotate and place the falling pieces so that they form solid
horizontal lines.
NOTE ABOUT 2 PLAYER GAME:
During a two player game both players receive the same
pieces.
BUGS:
I haven't found any but Murphy still lives. If you happen
to notice any please drop me a line. (Misfit on DELPHI)
By the way, this game is FreeWare.
