</h2> Tetris Attack: Added in the option of mouse control rather than arrow keys and space bar. Added in two new versions of blocks: the &quot;bottom row, can't touch me yet&quot; type, and the &quot;oh no, I'm about to disappear&quot; type. I also learned how to create new objects where there was an array of objects, though I haven't yet implemented it. Generally cleaned up some things and removed things long unnecessary, like the textbox I made early on so I could see a numerical display of the array of blocks. Moved the actual game field onto a separate form; the original one will be to set options, and maybe things like score if I ever implement anything of the sort. Talking to Boco on ICQ I realized I hadn't thought at all about a puzzle mode, but it should be really easy to allow people to create puzzles for use with the program. I also tried varying the size of the field. I found that when I made it a few times bigger, it was noticeably slower. At least, when holding a direction for the brackets to move, it wouldn't show each step. Guess that's just inefficiency catching up to me; of course, that was several times the size of a legit Tetris Attack field. Those of you with sight may have noticed I displayed an image last night; I've found that you can link to or use an image tag to things in Yahoo Briefcase, it's just the URL looks nasty.
