Introduction
If
you've never played Tetris before, you don't know what you're missing. Soon
you will find yourself immersed in the world of Javatris and all that will matter
is getting to the next level, beating your last high score and becoming more
efficient at laying down those blocks just the right way.
Javatris
even goes beyond regular Tetris, providing over half an hour of fun synthesized
music to keep you going, ten gorgeous backgrounds that will take your breath
away, and many options that surpass the competition, such as the ability to
choose your starting rows, various cheating options and "Life Savers"
to save you when there's no other way out.
Please
be warned that Javatris is extremely addictive. Once you start, you may not
be able to stop.

System
Requirements
As
the name suggests, Javatris was programmed entirely in Java and can thus run
on any platform, for which a Java Virtual Machine is available.
Such
platforms include, but are not limited to
-
Microsoft
Windows
-
Macintosh
-
Linux
-
Solaris
- FreeBSD
- Unix
Check Sun's Java
website to find out if your particular operating system is supported:
http://java.sun.com
You will also need
a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) such as the Java Development Kit (JDK) or the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) in order to run the game.
Chances are you
already have one of the installed on your system. If not, visit http://java.sun.com
to obtain your copy.
The Java Runtime
Environment 1.3 for Microsoft Windows is included on this CD (and will automatically
be installed if necessary), so if you use Windows, you don't have to download
the JVM.
Javatris requires
Java 1.3 or higher to run.
Java has severe
limitations when it comes to speed, since it is an interpreted language, and
not a compiled one.
Because of this
we recommend a system at least as fast as the following:
