	GENERIC TETRIS
	==============	Yet Another Tetris Game on X, V1.3


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. I have tested it without
    modification on the following platforms:

	Sun4, SPARC-2		SunOS 4.1.1	X11R4, X11R5
	Iris 4D			IRIX 4.0.1	X11R4
	Sequent S81		DYNIX 3.2.0	X11R5

    If your's is not in this list, please let me know -- thanks.


HOW TO BUILD?

    "Make" it. If you want to put the score-file at a different
    location (I bet you would), edit the Makefile correspondingly.

    "Tetris" is the game. It only lists the top 15 players at the end.
    "Tscores" will list all the players/scores for you.


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 it mess 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.

    If you press CTRL-S or "p", the game will be paused, and the window
    will be iconified -- just in case your boss suddenly appears at
    your door. ;o)

HISTORY -- Oh no, not again: I failed in my history course!
Well ... ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

    I studied an old tetris game for X10, wrote by Wayne Christopher
    <faustus@cs.berkeley.edu> in 1988; then I adopted the ideas in
    representing those "blocks" and rotating them, and added X11
    stuff. Also I learned a lot from Nathan Sidwell's great game
    "xmris", e.g. the "iconifying pause".
