.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B tetrinet
|
|
is a textmode client program for tetrinet, a networked version of tetris. You
|
|
can play both on TetriFast server and on the original servers with it. Please
|
|
notice that your terminal needs to be at least 50 lines high, to be able to play it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
A summary of options is included below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fancy
|
|
Use "fancy" TTY graphics. (Note that this will slow down redraws somewhat.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fast
|
|
Use the "tetrifast" mode to connect to the server. This mode eliminates the
|
|
delay before a new cube appears, thus speeding the game up noticeably. This
|
|
mode is incompatible with the classic mode and the server has to support it.
|
|
If in doubt, ask the other players.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-log\ file
|
|
Log network traffic to the given file. All lines start with an absolute time
|
|
(seconds) in brackets. Lines sent from the client to the server are prefixed
|
|
with ">>>", and lines from the server to the client are prefixed with "<<<".
|
|
This could be used with a utility program to replay a game later on (though
|
|
such a program is not currently included in the Tetrinet distribution.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-noshadow
|
|
Do not make pieces cast "shadows" when they are slowly falling. (Normally the
|
|
area under piece is filled by dim dots to help to determine where the piece
|
|
would hit the ground if one would press the spacebar.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-noslide
|
|
Do not allow pieces to "slide" after being dropped with the spacebar.
|
|
(Normally, there is a short time after pressing the spacebar during which a
|
|
piece can "slide" left or right before it solidifies.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-shadow
|
|
Opposite of
|
|
.BR \-noshadow ;
|
|
make the pieces cast "shadows". Can speed up gameplay considerably, but it can
|
|
be considered as cheating by some people since some other tetrinet clients lack
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-slide
|
|
Opposite of
|
|
.BR \-noslide ;
|
|
allows pieces to "slide" after being dropped. If both
|
|
.BR \-slide\ and\ \-noslide
|
|
are given,
|
|
.B \-slide
|
|
takes precedence. If both
|
|
.BR \-windows\ and\ \-slide
|
|
are given, this overrides the "no sliding" part of
|
|
.B \-windows
|
|
without affecting the other changes in program behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-windows
|
|
Behave as much like the Windows version of Tetrinet as possible. Implies
|
|
.BR \-noslide\ and\ \-noshadow .
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
When you start
|
|
.B tetrinet
|
|
you will find yourself in the partyline. In here you can chat with the other
|
|
players. With
|
|
.I /help
|
|
you will get the list of the server supported commands. You can switch between
|
|
three screens with
|
|
.I F1
|
|
through
|
|
.IR F3 ,
|
|
or with the
|
|
.I Tab
|
|
key.
|
|
.P
|
|
With
|
|
.I /start
|
|
you can start a game (if you are in position one). You will have to switch over
|
|
to the Fields with the
|
|
.I F1
|
|
key (an automatic switch over on game start is planned). To pause a running game
|
|
you have to enter
|
|
.I /pause
|
|
in the partyline. To restart the game you enter
|
|
.IR /unpause .
|
|
.SH CONTROLS
|
|
You can use either the arrow keys or vi\-style movement keys.

|

|

|
|
.SH GAMEPLAY
|
|
You have to fill the lines completely, because complete lines
|
|
will get removed from the display. The more lines you can eliminate with a
|
|
single stone the better. If the play room supports specials you will eventually
|
|
see a list of letters below your playfield that you can use with the number
|
|
keys from
|
|
.I 1
|
|
to
|
|
.IR 6
|
|
for the corresponding playfield.
|
|
If you want to get rid of a special, drop it with
|
|
.IR d .
|
|
You can also chat in the playfield, to open the chat box press
|
|
.I t
|
|
(for
|
|
.BR t alk.)
|
|
That's it, more or less.
