ReadMe File for Tetris Michael Irani This program lets the user play Tetris. The user's score is shown at the top of the screen, and whenever the player is successful in accumulating points, by filling up a line the score is incremented by 10. There are seven objects and all necessary state changes are accounted for. For example the line object can be a vertical line or a horizontal line. Simply by pressing the up arrow this changes is made.The down arrow brings the piece down at a faster rate. The right arrow brings it to the right and the left arrow brings it to the left. If a line is filled the lines above it move down one row. To start the game The player clicks on Game and then on New Game ( the player could have also pressed control then N).At the new game prompt the player is given the choice of how many rows and columns he/she would like and what level he/she would like to start on.The player also has the oppurtunity to bring up the options menu from the New Game window so that he/she can set the color of the pieces and the random settings.Once the game is started, as stated before the player uses the right, down, and left arrow keys to move the piece in a direction, and the up arrow to change the state of the piece. The player can look at the high scores table, either by pressing control then B or by clicking on game then best scores,to see the five top scores by players. The player can also pause the game while playing by either pressing the control button and then P or clicking on the Game tab and then clicking on Pause. An appropriate message pops up in the middle of the game window show- ing that the game is now paused. As stated before the player has an options menu. The player accesses this menu by either clicking on the Options Menu and then clicking Object Settings or pressing control then S. The player can set a certain color to each piece, or set a piece to the wacky color setting, which is a setting that the color of the piece changes randomly every screen refresh. The next option is setting the Random Setting. This setting allows the user to decide how often each piece should come down. If just the Line Piece was desired the player could set all the other pieces to zero and that piece to one, which would in effect have only the line piece appear. In the help tab there is a How to Play dialog and an about dialog. The how to play dialog explains how to play this Tetris game. The about dialog tells the user the programmer and a form of contact.
