About the game

If you like Tetris TM, and looking for a simple way to extend your experience to a new dimension, check this out. You probably wouldn't think of anything easier (and more addictive) than packing rectangular prisms ("3D oblongs") having at least two reebs (sides) of same size, and this is what the game is about !

Originally released in 1990 by Simsalabim Software (Max Shapiro & Per Bergland), FRAC very soon became a bestseller in Mac and MS DOS world and still has supporters all over the world. For Linux the code was rewritten completely from scratch with adding 'demo' mode, 256colour support, and more.and and released in 2000 as ifrac. Windows part of ifrac (wifrac) appeared in 2001.

This release is based on my Palm release (PiFrac) appeared a month earlier for which the code was substantially revised.

Features:

More relaxed game conditions: rollover from level 9 back to level 1 (registered version only)
Consistent scroring: the new scoring system encourages skipping levels or starting with a non-empty keybopard
Local table of high scores (number of scores depends on the implementation)
World-wide score table on the web (up to 60 entries)
Demo mode (plays itself!) - unavailable for Nokia series 30
Sound effects (Nokia 7210, Motorola A830 and i95cl)
Background music
