.B pentix
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
This is a game of "\fIpentix\fP" for terminals.
.LP
Pentix is a game involving dropping blocks. As they drop
you can move them left and right and rotate them anti-clockwise
using arrow keys (keypad).
Pressing the space bar causes the block to quickly drop.
.LP
Points are scored for each dropped block.
When dropped blocks fills up the bucket and no further
blocks can be dropped the game ends. 
.LP
Every completely filled line collapses and all the blocks
above it drop a further line.
Extra points are scored for each collapsed line.
.LP
The "\fB6\fP" key increases game level. The "\fB1\fP" key toggles
"show next".
.LP
If you press "\fB2\fP", the game will be aborted immediately
(just in case your boss suddently appears behind your shoulder :).
.SH HINTS
.LP
To get high scores, don't use "show next" mode, play at a
higher level and try to collapse more than one line at once.
