Changelog

1.1

• 8th Release: 10/19/10
• Added classical mode (for classic tetris).
• The Player Profiles 'rotation' label now has a 'piece' option that allows you to move the piece instead of moving the playfield; this is similar to classical mode, except that the piece is allowed to wrap around in cylindrical mode.
• The Player Profiles 'guide' label now has a 'line' option, so when selecting the guide mode, you can choose between a shadow piece, or a guide line.

• Source code is now available!

v0.6b

• 6th Release: 8/19/10
• Added sound FX.
• Added powerups to multiplayer. Please enjoy!
• This game will be open sourced soon, at which point you can add your own powerups.

• 5th Release: 7/26/10
• Handicap options (for a more competitive multiplayer experience)
• Editable playfield (width, scale, position, cylindrical angle)

v0.1b
