Maxtris Release History

[This document is formatted for an 80 column display using a monospaced font.]

.90B  -  First publically available release. 
			Known bugs:
			Occasionally, the high-score music will not load. Deleting the INI
				file or entering a MOD file in the INI file will correct this.

.91B  -  Fixed a problem with music not working properly when you tried
				to display the high scores.
			Changed the INI file so that the high-score music definately
				works. (This is a temporary solution to the bug listed above.)
			Fixed a bug where if no name was entered at the high score
				screen, garbage would be displayed.
			Improved the volume bars; they no longer flicker when being
				adjusted.

.92B  -  A sound effect no longer plays every time a line is removed. It now
				plays only when four lines are removed at once.
			NOTE: I'm still not happy with the SFX in the game. If you have any
				effects that you think would be cool, or if you have any SFX
				suggestions, please contact me at jfp3@stern.nyu.edu! Any
				contribution that I use would be mentioned in the documentation
				for Maxtris.
			Changed DEBUGMODE to SYSINFO in the INI file.         
			Fixed a small bug with piece rotation.
			Optimized the main game functions a bit. For what it's worth, the 
				music takes up SO MUCH of the CPU time, that nothing I do is 
				going to make a signifigant difference in performance.

.93B  -  Fixed some major bugs in loading new music. Everything should work 
				well now - hopefully. The error routines when loading a new file 
				were cleaned up as well, so you will actually see the error 
				messages no matter where the error occurs.

1.00  -  After some time, I haven't recieved any bug reports so I'm releasing
				version 1.00. No changes other than version #.

1.01  -  Here's a surprise: As soon as I release version 1.00, someone noticed
				a bunch of bugs. 
			Fixed some bugs in piece movment and dropping. I think that should 
				take care of them all. 
			Added the cyclemusic option - see the .INI file. Thanks to God 
				(not the deity - he knows who he is) for picking up these 
				problems and suggesting the music cycling. 
			Also fixed a problem with the levels not getting faster.

1.02  -  Corrected a bug introduced earlier with the sound effect for getting 
				a Tetris. In stereo, it would only play on the left channel. 
			Also corrected a bug with the vanity board name entry. 
			Changed the way the version number is shown on the About screen 
				so that I didn't have to redraw the text every time I changed the 
				version number.

1.03  -  Made some changes and additions to the documentation, including a
				small troubleshooting section.
			Reduced the size of the highscore and other graphic files.
			Changed the colors used for the vanity board and now your latest
				score is highlighted.
			Made some internal changes to how the version number is displayed.
			Added the ability to enter a space during high score name entry.
			Made some minor modifications to digital.fnt to make certain
				characters more legible.
			MAXTRIS.EXE is now compressed with LZEXE. This reduces its file
				size by more than 300k. Between this and the smaller highscore
				picture file, the complete package zipped is now approximately
				155k smaller than before.
			Added a file_id.diz file.
