Gemtris  (Nov 1996)

 Another free game by Daniel Kalna
 I can be reached at: drktex@geocities.com

 A Tetris type game where you have gems falling. 
 I had picked up a game off the internet called JEWELS.BAS that
 is very good but its done in text mode.  I decided to add graphics
 to the game, then decided just rewrite the game.

 Use the left and right arrow keys to move gems.
 The spacebar quickly moves the gems down.
 The up and down arrow keys rotate the gems.
 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Look for my other games coming soon to the internet, all free,
 source code included.  

 GemTris - a tetris like game.  I wrote this game to experiment
           with palette rotations.

 Poker Square - Similer to poker solitare

 Yahtzee - This game I modified from a really old basic text game
           that I had since 1984.  Added mouse support, graphics. 

 Mazer - Creates a maze then you get to watch a mouse solve it.

 Parachute - Cool game I wrote that is similer to an old ms dos
             game where you shoot the parachuters out of the sky.

 Wheel of Fun - Wheel of fortune type game.
 

 Some utility programs that I either wrote or modified to help me 
 write these games.

 GIF2BIN.BAS - converts GIF files to BINARY data files which  you 
               can read them in to a variable, then PUT on the screen.
               GIF files can't be larger then 320x200 yet...
               You can modify the file to do 16 color pictures,
               Right now it seems to only work with 256 color pics.
               

 I wrote this game, and the others for my amusement only.
 I see a game somewhere and write my own version for fun.
