Game Options

The Game Options dialog box, accessible from the Game menu, allows you to select various options related to gameplay.

Keys

You can choose the keys that you use to control the game. The defaults are:

Key	Action	Description
Numpad-7	Left	Moves the block left one space
Numpad-8	Rotate	Rotates the block ninety degrees
Numpad-9	Right	Moves the block right one space
Shift	Down	Hold down to make the block move down faster
Spacebar	Drop	Causes the block to drop straight down as far as it will go

Alternatively, you can click on "Arrow Keys" to use the arrow keys, or just select any keys you like from the available options.

Game Options

Statistics: select this option to see a summary of the number of each type of block you have played.
View next: if this is selected then Statistics will also be selected. It causes one of the blocks in the statistics diaplay to spin - that will be the next block to play. Note that this is a "cheat" and so you only score 2/3 the number of points.

These options can be set directly from the View menu.

High Score File

This is the location of the file that will be used to store the high score table.
