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.
