I just downloaded tetris3 to my calc and there does seem to be a bug. The game does get slower as you progress in levels. The config menu is a great idea also. When I set the level to begin from ie. 5, and pressed start, it started from level 0. Or at least that was the level that was displayed on the screen during the game. The new features are a nice touch though. It's nice to see the blocks drop immediately after hitting 0, instead of them being redrawn on the way down. Hope the bug(s) are easy fixes for you falco. Dave.

I seem to remember something posted here that said
that is was fairly trivial to redefine the key commands
on the new version of Tetris.
Is this true?
Could someone post instructions on how to do this?
thanks.

Sean,
If you want to change the key assignments for Tetris, it's pretty
simple. In RK2 (3rd program, 2nd row in the VAR menu), there are two
large lists within the program. The first list contains the key location
(35 indicates 3rd row, 5th key, just like USERKEYS), the second list
contains the corresponding commands or programs. Here are the key defn's
63 -- Rotate
72 -- Left
74 -- Right
92 -- Drop
Simply change those numbers to something you like better.

(I tried mailing this, but mail to hpcvbbs.UUCP addresses always bounces for me.) Falco, have you thought of writing a version that uses the display lengthwise? Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu

Yes, I have. That was actually one of the first htings I thought of.
Even with the new graphics, it would still be possible. I would have to
get rid of some of the bkgd graphics, but that would be worth it. Again,
however, I haven't had much time to think about it since it would involve
rewriting the XFIG and TFIG routines. Wait, come to think of it, it
wouldn't. I'll see if I can't take a look at it when I have the time.

Actually, I prefer it as-is so I can use _both_ hands!

I use my right hand with my thumb on the 0, my index finger on the 4, middle finger on the 8, and my ring finger on the 6. That's all you need. -- Sean Ahern ----------- Purdue University --------- ahernsd@mentor.cc.purdue.edu Dan Quayle: "Japan is an important ally of ours.

I also prefer to use two hands, however, I couldn't stand Falco's key definitions so I went into RK2 and setup my own keys. I used the right and left arrow keys for right and left, the down arrow for drop, MTH for rotate (it was a comfortable place to hold my left thumb), 'S' for quit (stop), and 'H' for pause (hold). 'N' and 'O' for next and off remained the same. This configuration allows you to hold the 48 with both hands, using your left thumb to rotate the pieces and your right thumb to move/drop the pieces. I find it much easier to play this way than to set it on a desktop and use my fingers.
