tetrinet? /me looks... wow. Some people certainly dig this game, don't
they?
Again, I'm not a tetris fan, but as far as I can see, the differences
are pretty much a look and feel thing. Quadra is fullscreen and as far
as I looked at it it's not themable as gtetrinet. I don't know if it
supports tetrinet, but I doubt it. I don't know if gtetrinet /really/
requires GNOME (it says so on its readme and the package does require
the GNOME libs), Quadra doesn't. As said, it's pretty much a self
contained package.
It sounds like you like tetris, perhaps you could take a look at Quadra
and point out if it's really worth the effort. My naive non-tetris-fan
experience suggests people who like tetris would like this game. But
my naive non-tetris-fan experience is turned into nothingness after
seeing what tetrinet is.
Cheers,
Marcelo
