       One player version -
          From the top you will se a brick which contains of four blocks. You
          shall now move that brick down to the bottom of your screen. The
          object of the game is to make the brick fit into eachother so that
          you will make a solid wall. When you hva fullfilld one or more rows
          the vill dissaper and the wall will collaps.

       Two players version -
          Basically you vill play the two players version just like the one
          player version. You vill now see your opponent upside down
          underneath your area.  When you fullfill one or more rows, your wall
          will collaps, and you aeria will be larger, and so squees you
          opponent to the bottom.

MOVEMENTS
       Move brick one block to the left  : left_arrow,h,a,b

       Move brick one block to the right : right_arrow,l,s,m

       Move brick one block down         : down_arrow,z,j,n

       Move brick all the way down       : space

       Rotate brick (anti)clockwise      : up_arrow,k,w,c

POINT

       points when you drop the brick by pressing space. When you hav
       fullfilled one row you will get points. The more rows the more points.
