       The  object  of  the  game Tetris is to fit the shapes together forming complete rows, which then vanish.
       When the shapes fill up to the top, the game ends.  This version of Tetris can be  played  against  other
       people over a network.

-w     Wait for connection from another host running netris.

       -chost
              Initiate connection to waiting netris running on host.

       -pport
              Set the port number to use for connecting to netris, the default port is 9284.

       -kkeys
              Remap  keys,  the  argument  is a prefix of the string containing the keys in order: left, rotate,
              right, drop, down-faster, toggle-spying, pause, faster, redraw and new game. Use the "^" character
              to prefixes controls.  The default is to use "jkl mspf^ln".

       -isec
              Set the step-down interval, in seconds.

       -rrobot
              Execute robot (a command) as a robot controlling the game instead of the keyboard.

       -F     Use fair robot interface.

       -sseed
              Start with given random seed.

       -D     Drops go into drop mode, this means that sliding off a cliff after  a  drop  causes  another  drop
              automatically.

       -S     Disable inverse/bold/color for slow terminals.

       -C     Disable color.

       -H     Show distribution and warranty information.

       -R     Show the rules of the game.

Twoplayermode
       It's  just like normal Tetris except that when you clear more than one row with a single piece, the other
       player's board is moved up and junk rows are added to the bottom.  If you clear 2, 3 or 4 rows, 1, 2 or 4
       junk rows are added to your opponent's board, respectively.  The junk rows have exactly one empty column.
       For each group of junk rows given, the empty columns will line up.  This is intentional.

       The longest surviving player wins the game.

   Oneplayermode
       This mode is currently very boring, because there's no scoring and it never gets any faster.   This  will
       be  rectified  at  some  point.  I'm not very motivated to do it right now because I'm sick of one player
       Tetris.  For now, use the "f" key (by default) to make the game go faster.  Speed-ups cannot be  reversed
       for the remainder of the game.
