Multiplayer Tetrinet

If you want to start a Tetrinet multiplayer game, follow these steps:

1. Click and then click

2. Then you have to find out what your IP is. If you have ICQ, this is how you do it:

Click on ICQ\Add/Change Current User\ And then click View Change My Details. In the top right hand corner of the box that appears should be your IP number.

If you don't see it, then go to ICQ\Preferences and Security\Security and Privacy and uncheck the "View my IP" check box.

3. Then give the number to all the people who want to play multiplayer.

When you have got your multiplayer mates all there, you can start. From now on in YOU CONTROL THE WHOLE GAME FOR THEM. To change the multiplayer options, click on and check and/or uncheck which boxes suit your pleasure. To start the multiplayer game, click on . All the players should click instantly, because if they don't they WILL be left out of the game. If you need to pause the game ant any time, click the "Pause Game" button. This pauses the game for everyone.

Joining a Multiplayer Game

• Find out the IP you are connecting to.
• Click and type the IP number in the "Server IP" textfield. Then type the name you'd like to use during the game, and click connect.

In Game

The actual game is just like Tetris, so there's no explaining there. But the most asked question is "What do the balls do?" .eheh. These are special blocks which you can use to hurt your opponent or to aid your game.

What the balls actually are is written next to them:

To use them on an opponent, press their number on the keyboard.

Here is a list of all the special blocks:
* 'A' Block: This is the add line block. It will add a "junk line" to the players field that you choose.
$ 'C' Block: This is the clear line block. It clears the line farthest to the bottom in the playing field. $ 'N' Block: This removes all blocks from a playing field giving the player a "fresh start".
* 'R' Block: This removes 10 random blocks from a player's field.
* 'S' Block: This switches your playing field with another player's field depending on which player number you pressed. If either of the fields' block stack is over 16 blocks high, the stack will be lowered.
* 'B' Block: This removes all special blocks from a players field.
$ 'G' Block: This "gravity" block takes all the blocks on the field and "pulls" them all towards the bottom of the field eliminating any gaps in the blockstack.
* 'Q' Block: This causes each of the lines of blocks on a players field to randomly shift left or right or not at all.
* 'O' Block: This is the block bomb, when used on a player, it clears 3x3 portions on their field anywhere there are 'o' blocks. Any blocks that were in the 3x3 areas are scattered around the field.

IMPORTANT: Blocks with a '*' at the beginning of the line are ATTACK special blocks; use these on other players. Blocks with a '$' at the beginning are DEFENSE blocks and should be used on yourself because they are GOOD
