# Chapter 1. Introduction

KSmiletris is a Tetris-like game written for the K Desktop Environment using the QT and KDE libraries. It has been tested under the Beta 4 release of KDE and should be considered stable.

I release it under an open source code license. If you like this program, send me a postcard from your hometown :-).

# 1.1. How to play

The only keys you need to use are the four arrow keys plus the space bar. The objective of the game is to control and to place the falling blocks, so that two blocks vertically have matching patterns. This sequence and the blocks behind are then removed, and the above blocks will fall down.
