+ Oslo, May 14 1995
+
+This code was written about 1 and a half year ago to test the very
+first Qt skeleton. It was in fact the first Qt application and was
+written at a time when Qt only had pushbutton widgets and the drawing
+engine was limited to drawing text in a single font and drawing lines
+(no kidding, those were the only two drawing operations). In fact the
+tetris project doubled the number of widgets in Qt by introducing
+the QLCDNumber widget. The whole application was written in 5 evenings
+and 1 weekend and is not very well documented. The tetris engine is
+implemented in the GenericTetris class and was first made on my
+good old 10 MHZ AT where I made a DOS text-mode Tetris (using about
+50 lines) to test it out, it was later moved to a SUN Sparc 10, where it
+met Qt. GenericTetris is totally independent of Qt, feel free to use
+it in any way you like. (see the file gtetris.h for a brief description
+of how to use it)
+
+Enjoy!
