Please send bug reports to: jared@lostsidedead.biz 



Mutatris is a Puzzle Game similar to tetris and columns. Connect 4 blocks in a square or 
in horizontal or  vertical lines. Blocks fall when they have no support and move
one each  update shift. This makes for interesting combinations.  0.4 is 
current release and contains the single player mode, network  mutli player mode,
local multiplayer mode, and highscores menu to keep track.

Note: 

	to use the networking components of this game, if you have a firewall, you
must poke a hole in it, (allow) the application to have access to the internet.
Second if your behind a router, and want to Listen for connections, you must forward
the port the program listens on which is 1045 to 
the ip address of the computer where the program is in listen mode.
