XIXIT
Introduction
XIXIT is tetrisoobraznoy game as
for one or for two players. The history of the present authors
of the game is silent, but on the Spectrum XIXIT did not appear
for the first time, he exists on other platforms (PC, Corvette
...), perhaps under another name. In my opinion XIXIT much
steeper Tetris during the game develops memory, speed
thinking, savvy, bigotry, bad language (with the proviso that
they play two people) are other good and adverse events.
How to play XIXIT?
In a glass 5h13 cells fall combination of
three figures who geneririruyutsya randomly. From the falling
figures to be collected by a combination of whom will be cut
shapes if you do not, then by some time zasypetsya all glass and
will be GAME OVER. Combinations are cut, if
there are at least three identical figures for
horizontal, vertical, and all the diagonals. On this principle,
we can build a double, triple and other combinations of higher
order. Double combination called such a combination in which
the cutting the cut off another, something like a chain
reaction.
Scoring
Scoring is as follows:
for one cut a figure as 10, and a cut in the shape of double,
triple and more high-order combinations of charged
20 points. The table records the location
depends on the score remaining rules of the game (speed, number
of players number of shapes, time) are ignored,
while running.
How to grow up and growth issues
Wonderful opportunity to enjoy the game
with two players - can grow
his opponent. In order to be let grow zabombit double, triple or
higher-order combination. If
make a double combination, the enemy will grow by one cell, and
if a triple, then two and so on.
Grow up you can configure in Settings, in the
Options Move Up:
1. None - growing up disabled
2. Forever - grows even in solitary
linear combination
3. Evristic - grows up so that
subsequently not cut
figures
4. Randomize - grows randomly formed
Thus, ie, after growing up
possibly cutting shapes
Playing one man
One play is not very interesting, tk
no one to grow up, but in practice - it is useful.
Game two men
It turns out quite a gamble, if
mode is growing up.
