	* You can change the 'speed' gameplay,to adapt the game at your convenience... Of course,if you want to make a 50-Lines Record,you'd better play the game at Speed 3.
    
	* LINK MODE AVAIBLE ! A lots of thanks to Barrett Anderson for his little tutorial on link.I've only tested it with a ti89 and a v200,but I don't think there is problem with other calcs.

        * If you own a v200 or ti92+,you can change the background in the options...

       *First Released Version...





***********************************************************************




This is a classical version of the famous Tetris,so I won't
explane the goal of the game,everybody remembers the hours
passed on his gameboy....

When you launch the game ("tetris()"),a file "tetrisav" will be
created.This file contains your highscores and 50 Lines record,so 
you can now archive the main program "tetris",you record will be saved
in any case...
This external file system will allow you to download the future version
of tetris,while keeping your records. :-)
But if you want have a previous version and want to have the best records till now (mentioned at the beginning of this readme),delete your file 'tetrisav' and send the new 'tetris' to your calc,but note that your personal records will be erased...

There are now three modes: Normal , 50 Lines  and LINK !
Normal   : make the greater score!
50 Lines : make 50 lines the faster you can!
Link     : have a friend with the game,when yopu make a line your opponent will receive            'garbages' in his screen. 

In the 50 Lines,you are given intermediate times every ten lines...
These times are calculated from the best record...



Command

Arrows       :  directions
2nd (F1)     :  Rotate Counter ClockWise
UP           :  Rotate ClockWise
Diamond (F2) :  go down the faster
Clear        :  Pause the game and switch off the calc



Challenge!!!
My personal record to make 50 lines is 2'34'9.
I want to know if someone can be best ! (now it's done:)
If you made a good record (let's say...,under 3'00) ,please send me your time AND your 'Tetrisav' file (the record is inside...)

I will update my tetris version with the records you sent me,so
if you want your name and time to appear on the other's calc,
send me your record ! 
Send me also your score records,but I think the 50 lines challenge is more interesting !


Note:

In the beginning,you must think beating the 50 Lines record is impossible,but don't worry.I have made this record after passing lots of hours on it (because of a challenge with a friend),my first records
were greater than 4 minutes !!!
