------------
Tetrizz is my version of the well known game Tetris, but with
more challanging shapes and gameplay.
hOW DOES iT WORk
----------------
i'll explain the menu...
OPTiON #1:
pressing '1' will start tetrizz.. but read on!
OPTiON #2:
tetrizz has 2 different modes:
standard - all the standard shapes (known in the nintendo (*) game)
extra! - all the standard shapes + extra (harder) shapes
the extra! mode is harder and more challencing. if you want to
practice or want a more relaxing game choose standard. if you want
a real challange, go for extra!
to switch these modes press '2' in the main menu.
OPTiON #3:
pressing '3' starts the "mess up %26 play" mode. this is for the
real die-hard tetrizz player! it will prompt you for a number of
lines (1-15). enter a number, and tetrizz will generate a level
with that number of lines, all messed up!!
for a real hard game first choose extra! in the main menu and
then choose option '3': hard shapes AND a hard level!
OPTiON #4:
pressing '4' in the main menu will show the hiscore.

--------
if you make 15 lines the game will go to the next level. this
will increase the speed, but you will also get more points for each
line.
the points work like this:
level 1:
1 line = 10 pts.
2 lines = 1 line * 2 + 10
3 lines = 1 line * 3 + 20
4 lines = 1 line * 4 + 40
if you go one level up, the value for 1 line will increase 5 points.
level 9 is the last level, but i believe nobody will ever reach it,
however: we got to level 7 while beta-testing.. so i take those words
back. if you get far be sure to make a screenshot and send it to me!!!

+ added
* improved
! info
2.0 + option 3 works
1.1 beta
* moniek discovered a serious bug while beta-testing: the
function "RotateShape" didn't check where the floor was,
so if you turned a long shape above the ground, it would
go trough the ground.. not a pretty sight.. =)
* the graphic routine for line removal optimized/speeded up
1.0 beta
! first full working version with hiscore and 2 modes

Tetrizz was made entirely by me, chaozz. i'm an average pascal
programmer, cauz i don't know how to write in assambler. this
code is therefor entirely in plain vanilla pascal! no assambler,
just basic stuff...
the source code should be available on my homepage.
warning: this is a beta version. if you encounter anything weird,
report it to me, so i can repair the "bug". if you think something
should change, you can mail me too.
