- PhantomTris is a tetris game with a twist, literally. Playing the game is
- the same as a regular tetris game, except PhantomTris will rotate the board
- as you play, going both clockwise and counterclockwise, although the current
- piece will "fall" to what was originally the bottom. If you don't understand,
- just try playing it, you'll get the idea.
-
- PhantomTris 1.2(Copyright 1992 Jason Bertschi) was written with Turbo C++

- There are 2 levels that you can set: the fall level, and the twist level.
- The fall level corresponds to the level you would choose for a normal tetris
- game. The twist level determines how often the screen turns.
-
- Fall level will increase throughout the game, were the minimum level
- is rows/10 (rounded down).
-
- Twist level doesn't change during the course of the game. Level 0 twist
- will be a normal tetris game.
-
- playing keys (default):
- j:left with respect to what is originally the bottom
- l:right with respect to what is originally the bottom
- k:twist 90 degrees
- space:drop piece toward what is originally the bottom
- m:toggle next piece preview
- escape:quit the current game
- if you have redefined the keys, they will be the same as long as you
