This is an unfinished developmental version of Netris, a free
networked version of T*tris. It is distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, which is described in the

In order to compile Netris you will need gcc. You may be able to
compile it with another ANSI C compiler, but if you attempt this
It's been built and tested on at least the following systems:
+ GNU/Linux
+ FreeBSD 2.1.5, 2.1.6, 2.2
NetBSD 1.0, 1.1
- Linux
SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.3
Solaris 2.3, 2.4
HP-UX
See the FAQ in this directory if you have any problems.

==================
-- Netris now attempts to make the cursor invisible for terminals that
- support it. Xterm no, vt220 yes, vt100 maybe?
-- Ctrl-L (by default) will now redraw the screen.
-- Various cleanup and documentation changes.
+Netris now specifically looks for ncurses and uses color if it's
+available, unless the -C option is given. Thanks to A.P.J. van Loo
+<cobra@multiweb.nl> for providing code which these changes are
+based on.
INSTALLATION
============
-1. Run "./Configure" to create a Makefile and config.h appropriate
- for your system. If you have problems running Configure with
- your /bin/sh, try "bash Configure".

RUNNING
Unlike standard T*tris, Netris gives you a little extra time after
dropping a piece before it solidifies. This allows you to slide the
piece into a notch without waiting for it to fall the whole way down.
-In fact, if you can even slide it off a cliff and it'll start falling
+In fact, you can even slide it off a cliff and it'll start falling
again. If you think it should automatically drop again in this case,
use the -D option.

'k' rotate

To see usage information, type "netris -h".
To see distribution/warranty information, type "netris -H".
At some point I may implement a server that Netris players can connect
to to find other players with similar skill across the globe.
-This version at least partially supports robots. A rough description
-of the protocol is in "robot_desc", and a sample robot is in sr.c.

-The source code should be viewed with tab stops set every 4 columns,
-eg, "less -x4 game.c".
