Psion 3A tetris, version 1.02
=============================
This software is public domain and may be freely distributed as long as this file accompanies it.
New versions will appear from time to time.
Copy the Tetris.opa file into any \APP directory, and install in the usual way.
The keys are as follows:
Cursor up/down - move piece
Space - rotate piece
Return - quick drop piece
Menu - show menu
Psion-x - quit
Psion-v - show version number
Psion-k - show keys
Psion-h - show high scores (stored on disk)
Psion-s - set sound level (setting is stored on disk)
Psion-r - restart
The game will not respond to keys when a piece is 'quick' dropping
Tetris will halt if you switch to another application, and resumes when returning to the game.
This version has limited sound - a bell sounds when a line is completed.
The drop speed speeds up continuously upto a maximum. Every time you complete lines, the speed slows down again slightly.
Bonus points are given for dropping pieces - the furthur you drop the more points you get.
When you complete one or more lines, you get 100 points for the 1st line, 200 for the 2nd, 300 for the 3rd and 400 for
the 4th line giving a maximum of 1000 points if you complete 4 lines in one drop. The drop speed also slows down when
completing lines, at a rate dependent on the number of lines completed in the drop.
Please inform me of any bugs/suggestions for the next version.
