Tetris 0.9 will provide hours of entertainment for everyone. This is designed as a clone of the popular tetris game, written in Python and PyGame.

Requirements:

• Operating Systems - Should work anywhere with python, but only tested on windows.
• Source Dependencies
• • python 2.5-2.6
  • pygame 1.7+

Hextris is Tetris with stones made of hexagons.
It takes some time to get used to the hexagon board but its worth it.
Main features:
- severity levels for beginner, medium and expert
- choosable speed at game start
- global highscore list
- choosable hexagon size
- Java/multiplatform implementation
- GPL license
The aim of the game is to score as high as possible. So here are some score hints:
- Moving down stones manually scores more than waiting until stones move automatically.
- Playing in higher levels scores more than playing in lower levels. If you start in a higher level then you stay there as long as it takes to reach that level from level 1. So if you feel comfortable in say level 3 then its better to start in level 3.
- The score for removed lines depends on the number of simultaneously removed lines and grows quarely, i.e. filling 2 lines with one stones brings 2 times the score of filling 2 lines seperately. 3 times for 3 lines etc.
The actual number of score points can be found in the help display

Imaging that you are looking into the glass from the top. You see four walls and the bottom. The flat 2d figures falling down from the walls one by one. You can move these figures from one wall to another or rotate them.

If the figure leave the wall then it moves on the bottom while another figure is pushed. You need to form full rows and/or columns on the bottom.

When you form such row, it disappear and you receive additional empty space on the bottom and scores :).

The more rows disappear at a time, the more scores you have. If you cant place the whole figure on the bottom, then it stays on the wall and this wall became frozen (you cant place figures on it) for a while.

After nth rows were successfully cleared, you will receive bonus figure and go to to the next level - game speed will be increased. Your task is to play more longer and earn more scores.

The game options allow you to play with two,three,four,five or six piece figures, mix them together, show next figure and switch on rotation of the game board! Try it, its very funny.
