1 Alizarin Tetris 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3 Version 1.0.7 - "fewer buffer overruns" 4 5This is a Linux/Win32 version of the classic Tetris game, but with a twist 6related to gravity and block colors. Getting it to run on your system is a 7Two Step Process :-). 8 9 Step 1 - Obtain It 10 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11If you're reading this file, you've already mastered this step. Just in 12case, check out 13 http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~weimer/atris/ 14 15 Step 2 - Method A - Win32 Binary 16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 17UnZip the file (atris-1.0.7-win32.zip) in some directory (e.g., "C:\Program 18Files\"). It will make its own "atris" subdirectory. You're done. Use 19Windows Explorer (or somesuch) to run the "atris.exe" file in that 20directory. 21 22Optional: UnZip the file (atris-sounds-1.0.1-win32.zip) in the same 23directory (e.g., "C:\Program Files\"). Now you'll have neato sound effects. 24 25 Step 2 - Method B - Linux Binary RPM 26 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 27Download and install (rpm -i) the following RPMs: 28 freetype-1.3.1-1.i386.rpm (or newer, but not version 2) 29 SDL-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm (or newer) 30 SDL_ttf-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm (or newer) 31 32Then proceed to Method C. 33 34 Step 2 - Method C - Use The Source 35 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 36Download, unpack, configure, make, make install (unless you already have them): 37 freetype-1.3.1.tar.gz (or newer, but not version 2) 38 SDL-1.1.6.tar.gz (or newer) 39 SDL_ttf-1.2.2.tar.gz (or newer) 40 41Then download and unpack, configure, make and install: 42 43 atris-1.0.5.tar.gz (or newer) 44 atris-sounds-1.0.1.tar.gz (or newer, optional) 45 46I have successfully built the atris source on x86-linux natively and using 47the mingwin unix->win32 cross compiler. Every effort has been made to make 48it portable across platforms. 49 50 You're Done! 51 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 52Atris does take some command line arguments, use "atris -h" to get a list. 53Note that under Win32, all the output goes to "stdout.txt". 54 55See "Docs/atris.html" for instructions on actually playing the game and 56strategy hints. 57
