NAME

6       bastet - any falling bricks game clone with "bastard" block-choosing AI
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bastet
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bastet  (short  for  "bastard  falling  bricks  game") is a any falling
13       bricks game clone which tries to give you  the  worst  possible  block.
14       Playing  bastet  can be a painful experience, especially if you usually
15       make "canyons" and wait for the long I-shaped block.
16

USAGE

18       bastet tries to conform as much as possible to the falling bricks  game
19       guidelines.  We refer to those for the rules of the game. In the start‐
20       ing menu, you can configure the key bindings; the default ones are:
21
22       DOWN   moves the tetromino down (one single step)
23
24       LEFT   moves the tetromino left
25
26       RIGHT  moves the tetromino right
27
28       SPACE  rotates CW
29
30       UP     rotates CCW
31
32       ENTER  drops the tetromino as far down as possible (hard drop)
33
34       P      pauses the game
35
36       CTRL+C exits the game without any further prompt

38

PLAYING MODES

40       The game includes two playing modes. In the second one (harder), you do
41       not  get  the preview of the next tetromino, and the algorithm is modi‐
42       fied to take advantage of this.
