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

.B bastet

.B 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.

.B 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:

.IP DOWN

moves the tetromino down (one single step)

.IP LEFT

moves the tetromino left

.IP RIGHT

moves the tetromino right

.IP SPACE

rotates CW

.IP UP

rotates CCW

.IP ENTER

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

.IP P

pauses the game

.IP CTRL+C

exits the game without any further prompt

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.
