TETRIS GAMES altetris: Altered tetris, originally based on Zhao's Tetris but now much has changed. One has access to more polyominoes (all polyomino classes without holes) and also diagonal polyominoes. alwelltris: Welltris version of above. Slide the polyominoes down the 3-D well. altertris: Triangular version of altetris. (altritris did not look right) Polyiamonds bounce off walls. alhextris: You guessed it ... a hexagon version of altetris. Polyhexes bounce off walls. Other neat tetri on the net: "xtetris": multiplayer tetris "xhextris" above hextris was made independently... here hexagons drop straight down Some known problems and things to do: I looked into a alboxtris, maybe I will try again if I have the time.
