Version 2.52

Bedter was renamed from Bedtris after legal threats from The Tetris Company!

The ultimate in tetris style games. With all the features that I wanted in a tetris game because I couldn't find one I liked, so I wrote my own. Now at version 2.52. Bedter is freeware so download and distribute to all of your friends.
Features include:

• Customisable Gameplay
• Customisable Scoring
• One or two players
• Agressive or Points mode
• Multiple Difficulties
• Customisable Controls
• Full Screen mode
• Sound and Music
• Piece Preview
• High Scores
• Freeware

Downloads

• Bedter 2.52 - Windows 336KB
• Bedter 2.9 - linux - 350KB

For linux, most likely you will also need the Qt runtime libraries libqt.so.2.gz (2.6MB) and libqtintf.so.gz (440KB). If you already have version 2.2.4 of these libraries (as libqt.so.2.2.4 and libqtintf.so.2.2.4) you can use these by creating symbolic links libqt.so.2 and libqtintf.so to point to the existing libraries, respectively.

Run "tar xzvf BedTer.tar.gz". If you need to install the Qt runtimes
do so to a common library path (ie /us/lib) and then run
/sbin/ldconfig as root.

The following tracks were done with a Creative AWE32 soundcard on Windows 95.

These are all MIDI files. They'll sound a little different depending on each individual person's soundcard. Some instruments in a few places sound whacked because I was using some custom midi samples and had AWE32 custom effect settings. Not alot though.
