.TH NETRIS 1 "1 August 1996"
|
|
.SH "NAME"
|
|
netris - a network version of t*tris
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.B netris
|
|
[-DHRSh] [-w] [-c host] [-p port] [-k keys]
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.I Netris
|
|
is a networked version of t*tris. It allows either single player or head to head play via a network. To play it single user, start
|
|
.I netris
|
|
with no flags. To play head to head, you can either host or connect. To be the host, start
|
|
.I netris
|
|
with the
|
|
.B -w
|
|
flag. To connect to a host, use the
|
|
.B -c <hostname>
|
|
flag with the hostname of the computer you wish to connect to.
|
|
|
|
Unlike standard T*tris,
|
|
.I 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
|
|
again. If you think it should automatically drop again in this case,
|
|
use the
|
|
.B -D
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
The keys are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B j
|
|
left
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B k
|
|
rotate
|

|

|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B p

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B f
|
|

To see usage information, type "
|
|
.I netris
|
|
.B -h
|
|
".
|
|
To see distribution/warranty information, type "
|
|
.I netris
|
|
.B -H
|
|
".
|
|
To see the rules, type "
|
|
.I netris
|
|
.B -R
|
|
".
|
|
To use a port number other than the default, use the
|
|
.B -p
|
|
option.
|
|
.LP
|
|
You can remap the keys with "
|
|
.B -k <keys>
|
|
", where
|
|
.B <keys>
|
|
is a string
|
|
containing the keys in the order listed above.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The default is:
|
|
.I netris
|
|
.B -k jkl mspf^l
|
|
.LP
|
|
You needn't specify all of the keys, for example
|
|
.B -k asd
|
|
will only
|
|
change the main three keys.
|
|
.B ^x
|
|
notation can be used for control
|
|
characters.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B m
|
|
key moves the falling piece down one block, in addition to the
|
|
usual step-down timer. Use this in repetition when "drop" would go
|
|
too far but you don't want to wait for the piece of fall.

.SH BUGS
|
|
.TP
|
|
One-player mode is a tad boring at the moment, because it never gets any faster, and there's no scoring. This will be rectified at some point. For now, use the
|
|
.B f
|
|
key (by default) to make the
|
|
game go faster. Speedups cannot be reversed for the remainder of
|
|
the game.
