xwelltris [options]
DESCRIPTION
The idea of this game was by the Russian programmer Pogitnov. It has the same gameplay concept as Tetris.
Imagine that you are looking into a glass from the top. You see four walls and the bottom. The flat 2D figures falling down from the walls
one by one. You can move these figures from one wall to another or rotate the figure. If the figure leave the wall it moves on the bottom
while another figure is pushed. You need to form full rows and/or columns on the bottom. When you form such row it disappear and you
receive additional empty space on the bottom and scores :).

RULES
Two player mode
It's just like normal Tetris except that when you clear more than one row with a single piece, the other player's board is moved up and
junk rows are added to the bottom. If you clear 2, 3 or 4 rows, 1, 2 or 4 junk rows are added to your opponent's board, respectively. The
junk rows have exactly one empty column. For each group of junk rows given, the empty columns will line up. This is intentional.
The longest surviving player wins the game.
One player mode
This mode is currently very boring, because there's no scoring and it never gets any faster. This will be rectified at some point. I'm
not very motivated to do it right now because I'm sick of one player Tetris. For now, use the "f" key (by default) to make the game go
faster. Speed-ups cannot be reversed for the remainder of the game.
