Short: Internet Tetris (important bug fix!) Author: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner) Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner) Version: 1.11B Type: comm/net Replaces: /comm/net/Netris1.10B Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AMarquee1.44+, AmiTCP3.0b+ (or compatible TCP stack) ---------------------------------------------------------------- NETRIS V1.11B (Released 6/15/97) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Just a little Tetris game that lets you play against up to three friends simultaneously over the 'Net. Features sound effects, multitasking, in-game chat lines, and the ability to customize your own sounds so that when someone plays you, they hear YOUR sounds coming from your game! Note that all clients must have amarquee.library v44+ installed on their machines in order to run this game, and the server must have AMarqueed installed and enabled. Both amarquee.library and AMarqueed can be found in the AMarquee archive on Aminet: /comm/net/AMarquee1.44.lha. New in version 1.11B: 1.11B : (Beta Release 6/15/97) - Added the TILEPEN(0-6) and PENCOLOR(0-7) ToolType arrays. * Reduced (but didn't eliminate) the drops-tiles-at-super-speed- if-you-restart-your-game-too-quickly-after-dying bug. * Netris wasn't calling QFreeSession() when it quit! This caused the TCP Client thread, and thus the TCP connection to the AMarquee server, to hang around indefinitely afterwards. Very bad. :( * The high score displays can no longer write outside the bounding box of the game they are displayed in. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 271 56.8% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 Netris.info 7474 4416 40.9% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +chatline.8svx 14392 9224 35.9% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +endgame.8svx 52088 48452 6.9% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +fourrowdrop.8svx 37428 20284 45.8% 15-Jun-97 13:33:26 +Netris 16962 6841 59.6% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +Netris.guide 1542 1100 28.6% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +Netris.guide.info 2178 1593 26.8% 15-Jun-97 13:33:26 +netris.info 12388 8319 32.8% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +onerowdrop.8svx 31860 20467 35.7% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +startgame.8svx 14000 11196 20.0% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +threerowdrop.8svx 2352 1335 43.2% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +tileplace.8svx 5678 4824 15.0% 15-Jun-97 13:33:28 +tworowdrop.8svx -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 198970 138322 30.4% 15-Jun-97 22:41:22 13 files
