Changelog

1.2

9th Release: 10/20/10
Added a Mirror powerup.
Added a Speed Up powerup.
Added a Junk Piece powerup.

1.1

8th Release: 10/19/10
Added classical mode (for classic tetris).
The Player Profiles 'rotation' label now has a 'piece' option that allows you to move the piece instead of moving the playfield; this is similar to classical mode, except that the piece is allowed to wrap around in cylindrical mode.
The Player Profiles 'guide' label now has a 'line' option, so when selecting the guide mode, you can choose between a shadow piece, or a guide line.

1.0

7th Release: 9/30/10.
Source code is now available.

v0.6b

6th Release: 8/19/10.
Added sound FX.
Added powerups to multiplayer. Please enjoy.
This game will be open sourced soon, at which point you can add your own powerups.

v0.5b

5th Release: 7/26/10.
Handicap options (for a more competitive multiplayer experience).
Editable playfield (width, scale, position, cylindrical angle).

v0.4b

4th Release: 7/19/10.
Shadow option -- see where the current piece will drop.
Preview option -- see what the next piece will be.
Multiplayer looks better. Each playfield is drawn from the same perspective, but with a shifted viewport.

v0.3b

3rd Release: 4/5/10.
Better menus.
Ability to reverse the direction in which the Tetris cylinder rotates.

v0.2b

2nd Release: 12/14/09.
Added support for {{Nunchuk + Wiimote and Wiimote Horizontal.
Added support for up to 4 players.

v0.1b

Initial Release: 12/6/09.
I consider this release "pre-alpha", as it's not yet feature complete, but homebrew tends not to follow the typical product development cycle; thus, this is the first "beta" release.
