Updates: altris (1.2.0) Random generator fixed for 64 bit machines. Minor patches. New mail account. altris (1.1.0) The different altris games will now have consistent numbers for major releases. *tris -fg white -bg black, should now work on monochrome monitors. Now provide a random number generator. Fixed a flakey xor problem in welltris for black foregrounds and white backgrounds (or vice-versa on different hardware). Format to data file changed. Fixed a color bug in hextris. Took out unbundled Sun cc and lint warnings. altris (1.0) Updated to match Q. Alex Zhao's tetris.3.1.2. Patch for XrmMergeDatabase and the -s flag from Patrick Forsberg . A super Makefile to make all puzzles is now provided. You can now set the Down arrow to rotate or drop at compile time. TETRIS GAMES I guess I could not control myself. I made 4 versions of the game after Q. Alex Zhao's tetris.3.1.2.tar.Z found at ftp.x.org in /contrib/games . Every effort will be made to keep these current with his latest version. altetris: Just like Zhao's version except its altered. One has access to more polyominoes including diagonal polyominoes. alwelltris: Welltris version of above. Slide the polyominoes down the 3-D well. altertris: Triangular version of altetris. (altritris did not look right) Polyiamonds bounce off walls. alhextris: You guessed it ... a hexagon version of altetris. Polyhexes bounce off walls. (Built independent of xhextris). Problems (I am open to ideas and fixes): All above games require X and UNIX. I guess the last 3 need some improvement in the graphics. I tried to port them to VMS, but gave up. I looked into a alboxtris, maybe I will try again if I have the time. my mail address is: bagleyd@perry.njit.edu original site: ftp.x.org//contrib/games/altris
