NAME

       ghextris - Hextris game for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       ghextris

DESCRIPTION

       ghextris  is a Python/GNOME reimplementation of the semi-free Xhextris by David Markley. The object of the game is basically the same as in
       Tetris; use the pieces that fall down from the top of the game area to construct fully filled lines, which will then disappear to make room
       for  more  pieces.   The  twist, as first introduced by Markley, is that the pieces are composed of hexagonal blocks, so your visualization
       skills will get an extra workout.

RULES

       The pieces can be moved left and right with the respective arrow keys and rotated with the up and down arrow keys. If you're satisfied with
       where  a  piece is going, it can be dropped by pressing the space bar.  Fully formed lines will disappear from the playing field.  The game
       will end when the pile of pieces reaches the top of the game area.

   Score
       You get 1 point for every line that you drop a piece, and 100, 200, 400 or 800 points for 1, 2, 3  or  4  simultaneously  destroyed  lines,
       respectively.
