What is Blocks:

Blocks is a simple, but nice tetr1s game for NeXTSTEP.  I'm planning to extend it in several ways over the next few months.  I invite you to download it and even stick in your dock!

I'm going to port to OPENSTEP as soon as possible.  I am going to wait until confirmation of "no Rhaphsody for black hardware" <PLEASE compile it for us Apple!> until I purchase "NeXTSTEP 4.x Academic Bundle" and start the port.

I would be interested in any feedback on how Blocks could be made better.  Blocks is going to be significantly extended following the OPENSTEP port.
