Falling Block Game v0.9.1 http://derajdezine.vze.com/ If you've already downloaded Falling Block Game, you probably have a good idea as to what kind of a game it is, so I'm going to jump straight into the gameplay. STARTING FALLING BLOCK GAME ============================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you built the wxWindows GUI launcher for Falling Block Game (fbglaunch) just run it and the various options will be shown to you. Here are the options for the command line version (fbg): -l LEVEL Begin on specified level (0-9) -b HEIGHT B-Type garbage height (0-5) -t THEME Name of theme directory --light Run in "light" mode (uses very little CPU) -f Play FBG fullscreen -w Play FBG in windowed mode -r WxH Play FBG at specified resolution (ex. 640x480) -d BPP Attempt to use specified bits per pixel (ex. 24) -p PREFIX Specify prefix to FBG directory (ex. "./") -m FILE Play selected music from "data/music/" --no-music Do not play music PLAYING FALLING BLOCK GAME =============================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use the left and right arrow keys to move the piece around the playing area. Holding down will cause the block to fall faster until the block hits the ground, or down is released (this also helps you score more points). The comma and period keys (also '<' and '>') rotate the piece counterclockwise and clockwise, respectively. The object of the game is to (of course) use the provided pieces and orient the blocks so that complete horizontal lines of bricks are made (these are then removed and you gain points). If you are playing a B-Type game, you only have 25 lines to get the maximum number of points possible. With a B-Type game, you can also specify a starting height and FBG will add lines of garbage at the beginning to make gameplay more difficult. If at any time you would like to quit, press ESC.
