Blocktrix is a free,
online, multiplayer, puzzle game based on TetriNET and was created in 2000 by StrikeLight. It was developed as an update to the official TetriNET 1.13 client after the original creator, St0rmCat, created a new version to the game entitled TetriNET 2, which included major changes to the TetriNET client such as not allowing private servers
. While Blocktrix is compatible with TetriNET servers, the Blocktrix protocol itself adds features to Blocktrix specific servers which makes it a different game altogether.
Features
The Blocktrix program offers various improvements and fixes over the original TetriNET program. Some of these features include, but are not limited to:
- Support of Blocktrix, TetriNET, TetriFast, and TSpec modes.
