RingTris - Tetris in the Round

RingTris is a Tetris game on a circular board. The shapes start on the

outer edge of the circle and move inward. You can move the shapes either

clockwise or counter-clockwise and rotate them in either direction as

well. Once you have the shape lined up the way you want, you can drop it

into position.

Installing RingTris

All you need to do to install RingTris is run the PalmPilot Install tool

and install the Ringtris.prc file. After you HotSync, you should see the

RingTris icon on your PalmPilot.

Game Controls

RingTris can be played using the stylus or the buttons at the bottom of the

PalmPilot.

The four application launching buttons are the main controls:

Rotate Rotate Move Move

Counter-Clockwise Clockwise Counter-Clockwise Clockwise

In addition, the page down button drops the shape into position and the

page up button pauses the game.

Using the stylus, you play the game by tapping the icons on the toolbar at

the bottom right hand corner of the game. The icons should be self-explanatory,

but just in case they aren't, the symbols mean:

Rotate Rotate Drop Move Move

Counter-Clockwise Clockwise Shape Counter-Clockwise Clockwise

You can also tap on the word "Pause" in the upper left to pause the game,

and tap on Qui in the upper right to quit the current game. There is no

button-equivalent for quit.
