damnit Jim

Because Jim is such a nitpicking bastard, and after reading the Wikipedia page, I have an update for you. (Seriously, thanks for the feedback, Jim.)

r460 has the following changes:

  • CW and CCW keybindings (that you might hate, depending on your keyboard; just fix it if you don't like mine)
  • Instant (hard) drop
  • Hard drop on the final "down" press (or just wait for the soft drop as before)
  • Updated scoring system so that it rewards multiples a bit more
  • Changed the color scheme to match The New Tetris.
  • a README file!

As I add minor updates, I'll just post them here. (Major ones will go in their own entry.) Here's a summary of every version I've posted so far:

  • r457 - first release
  • r458 - added Makefile
  • r460 - fix detailed above
  • r461 - fixed an erroneous return value from the keyboard handler that was really harmless
  • r462 - took focus off the Quit button so that space bar doesn't cause the program to exit
  • r465 - see 2009091901
  • r466 - fixed loss condition to bring it in line with the official rules

Nice, a lot better (once the key bindings are fixed.. I used z/x to rotate, and up to hard drop)
Hitting space kills the program instantly (probably shouldn't leave focus on the Quit button)

Oops, didn't notice that. I'll try to get to it tonight.
