Well, Tetris just like TetriNET, but you play against
computer. Since I start playing TetriNET there was
born the idea: Playing tetris the very same way as
TetriNET but offline and with one opponent. A very
good training before playing tetris at net!

TetriCOM is for Windows9x and above and it
requires Direct X and TetriNET (or a theme of TetriNET)
(http://tetrinet.emugaming.com/) to run. The
resolution of windows is just like as TetriNET.

Settings         - Game settings

Installation:

The game comes only as an executable and this file
(tetricom.txt). So you only have to unzip the file
you download to the TetriNET directory. IT DOES NOT
HAVE ANY THEME so you MUST have already TetriNET or
a theme of TetriNET to play TetriCOM.

Concept:

The more lines you make the more lines will be added
to the opponent's field and if you play with special blocks
the more special blocks you'll take.
Special blocks are added to your inventory when you clear
lines with special blocks in them.
The inventory's capacity is 18 blocks.
You can also discard the first block in your inventory by
pressing the letter 'D'.
Please read the description of special blocks in tetrinet.txt

Win list:

The win list keeps track of how points and total games won
each player has.
A player gets points depending his field's height.
If he is at the 1/3 of the height takes 4 points, at 2/3
3 points and if he is too high only 2 points.

Settings:

You can use any theme of TetriNET you have, to change
the game's appearance.
You can also modify the keys.  Click on the Settings
button.  Click in any of the boxes and press a key and
the text in the edit box will change to the key that you
pressed.
With TetriFast on, you can play without any delay between
new pieces.
You can also play with the same pieces with your opponent,
change the initial speed that the pieces fall and play or not with
special blocks.
There are also some keys (not configurable) and theese are:
the letter 'D' which discards the first spcial block (if you have any)
in your inventory.
The escape key which closes the Playing fields window if you have
paused the game or if there is no game.

Write your nick name and start the game!

Thanks goes to St0rmCat for the great TetriNET and to :
EgoFan, Orpheaus, Nikoz and Animator for beta testing.

Now as special blocks added, computer play is weaker
since it need more coding for computer to play with special blocks.
