-Beware of Apple-Tab! If you have the Application Switcher set up to change applications by pressing a key combination (Such as the default Apple-Tab), and PerTetride's 'Don't Share CPU' feature is off, pressing Apple Tab while not paused will cause PerTetride to go to the background, but it will draw a final frame on top of the other applications. This is only cosmetic and should not harm anything.
-You should probably keep 'Don't Share CPU' enabled. When this feature is disabled, PerTetride gives some of your CPU time to other applications, but the frame rate drops greatly. Other programs will also draw on top of PerTetride's window (such as MacAmp lite, and the Clock on the menu bar) while sharing CPU time.
PerTetride requires Game Sprockets, available free from apple, and probably already on your computer. If PerTetride tells you that you need Game Sprockets, you can get them from the PerTetride home page at:
