Game:   icon-Tetris Version: 1.0 Build#163 Date:   October 27, 1999 Size (Real/Setup): 3.09 MB / 1.86 MB

    Hello, dear visitor :-)

    It's another game from me. One very old idea was laid in the basis of icon-Tetris. There were times when mass of people were playing in minigame Tetris. That tetris was indifferent to colours of falling blocks, and just the shape of blocks played the role... then Colomn Tetris were invented. It maked you think in the way of constructing colours rather than shapes. Since the fist tetris were invented there were huge variety of different versions of it... And now I'm presenting the new one. Let's think in the way of constructing icons. Play and enjoy!

1. Installation / Un-Installation
2. Playing
3. System requirements / known bugs
4. What's new

First, download this file (it was tested on viruses and free of'em). Then execute it (follow the setup programm prompts). After installing choose in Start menu an icon 'iTetris v1.0' to launch the game.

To Un-Install icon-Tetris. Open Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs. Then select icon-Tetris from the list of Installed programs and press Remove button.

Note: this game doesn't have any system components, so it can't make any harm to your system.

The game begins with short intro. To skip 'welcome or about screen' press any key (on this form) or just click. In main window there're 6 menu icons:

	- opens help window (game'll be paused)
	- opens browser window and loads my homepage (game'll be paused)
	- launches your mail client and opens create mail dialog (game'll be paused)
	- toggle sound on/off (off - stops playing; on - first plays intro)
	- opens About dialog  (click on that dialog to close; game'll be paused)
	- minimizes game window (game'll be paused)

To construct one chain place at least three icons of one type together vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Then this chain will be deleted from the screen...

Movements:     Use: '4' - (on the right part of keyboard) to move blocks left; '6' - to move right; '5' - to swap blocks vertically; 'space' - to drop them down.

After shooting each icon 10 times you'll be offered to choose one icon (of 8) to delete from current game. It'll free some space and you could continue... :-)

Actually, I don't know exactly what computer suites for playing this game :-). But it was tested on

During tests icon-Tetris caused some errors...

1. Problem dealing with sound on closing application (occured once, and disappeared after rebooting system).

2. Drawing problem. Sometimes occures when window forced to be re-painted in different modes (playing, paused, viewing Top 10, etc.). Normalized after continue using this game :-).
