Gameplay

The aim is to line up three or more panels in a stack to make them 'pop'. The game is over when the stack reaches the top of the screen. If more than three blocks are removed it is called a 'combo'. If pieces falling down lines up it is called a 'chain'.

Installation

Download tetattds-3.1.zip
Extract tetattds.nds to your card
Run from your apps menu

Wifi play

To play over Internet you need to have a wireless accesspoint supported by dswifi. You also need to have entered wifi settings in a game like Mario Kart DS.

You can connect to our official server at "walkyrie.se", but you could also run your own server on a PC. You might need to open up port 13687 (UDP) in your firewall.

There are two flavours of the server. The GUI version requires .NET Framework 2.0, which can be downloaded from Microsoft and only works in Windows. The other, text-based version, can be compiled in Linux, Cygwin or msys. You need to download the source package for this, and then type "make" in the server directory.

To play locally you don't need an accesspoint. One player hosts and the other players join.

Controls

When playing more than 4 players use X to show the other players on the top screen.

Known issues

The different levels needs to be balanced.
