TetriNet Instructions
If you’re interested in playing TetriNet with me, here’s what you need to do:
- Download a client: For Windows, For Linux
- Tell me you want to play.
- Connect to the server at pug.ibu02.com and play!
Theresa, James, Stephen and I play occasionally, and we’re always up for more. Just IM me using whatever medium you find accessible (Preferred: Jabber — jcjones@jabber.ufl.edu)
For the unintroduced:
TetriNet is battle Tetris. It’s a lot of fun.
The basic idea is to play tetris in your own screen and acquire special blocks by
tetrising the lines on which they’re located. These enter a queue located on
your screen and you can then “use” them on yourself or other players by
pressing a number 1-6 on your keyboard. The topmost block gets applied to
whomever is that number (peoples numbers appear next to their name while
playing). A few blocks are good, most of them are bad… attack blocks!
Randomize your opponent’s play field, blow up their “O” blocks, give them a
blockquake, delete random blocks! It’s cruel and it’s fun!

It really is fun. Took me three games to get the hang of it, and I’m nowhere close to beating Pug on my own, but it’s loads of fun.
