- XBL 1.0
+X11 block dropping game in 3 dimensions.
-XBL is a 3D block-dropping game.
-XBL is an interactive game under X11 (color or black&white) and UN*X.
-XBL is a good training tool to understand 3D rotations and 3D vision.
- You need reflex and memory (human).
-XBL implements 6 different ways to perform animation under X11!
-
-- The game world is a 3D discrete space.
-- The player has a top view of this discrete space.
-- The game throws blocks made of cubes (one to five cubes).
-- A block falls inside the discrete space, and stops when hitting the
- floor or another block.
-- If a discrete space level is full, it is destroyed.
-- Another block appears (only one moving block at a time).
-- Player can move or rotate blocks (perfect real time if you have a fast host).
-The goal is to play as long as possible.
+The grand father of this game is Tetris, its father is Blockout on
+PC/DOS. The player must place 3D pieces by translations and rotations
+in order to fill the game floor. The game is realtime and the speed
+increases with the player skill.
