NAME
Tetris -- play a game and boggle the mind

DESCRIPTION
Tetris is a game offered on many machines. It is a game of concentration involving trying to place falling bricks to build a kind of wall. As each row fills up, it is removed from the screen. The idea of the game is to keep going as long as possible and hence score as much as possible.

The game is played with the keypad keys as follows: Moves piece to the left. Move piece to the right. Rotates the block 90 degrees. Drops the piece to the bottom of the window. Force piece down a line. (Quicker than waiting for it to fall). Quit the game. Pause the game. Game summary.

In addition to the above keys, the 'i', 'j', and 'l' keys can be used to rotate and move the falling block. (Useful on systems where keypad keys generate escape sequences which may suffer a delay when playing over a network).

This macro saves your highest score in your home directory in the file .tetris.

The game is based on an X-windows implementation and apparently should conform to the original tetris in terms of scoring.

MENU/KEYS
Type tetris at the command prompt or access it from the features menu.

BUGS
I think the window is a bit too high.

The score screen sometimes gets a little messy.
