NAME

       bastet - Tetris(r) clone with "bastard" block-choosing AI

SYNOPSIS

       bastet

DESCRIPTION

       bastet  (short  for  "bastard  tetris")  is  a Tetris(r) clone which tries to give you the worst possible
       block. Playing bastet can be a painful experience, especially if you usually make "canyons" and wait  for
       the long I-shaped block.

USAGE

       bastet  tries to conform as much as possible to the tetris guidelines. We refer to those for the rules of
       the game. In the starting menu, you can configure the key bindings; the default ones are:

       DOWN   moves the tetromino down (one single step)

       LEFT   moves the tetromino left

       RIGHT  moves the tetromino right

       SPACE  rotates CW

       UP     rotates CCW

       ENTER  drops the tetromino as far down as possible (hard drop)

       P      pauses the game

       CTRL+C exits the game without any further prompt

PLAYING MODES

       The game includes two playing modes. In the second one (harder), you do not get the preview of  the  next
       tetromino, and the algorithm is modified to take advantage of this.
