Instructions
------------

This is an implementation of the game Connectris, an idea I got from the
wonderful on-line gaming website It's Your Turn
<URL:http://www.itsyourturn.com/>. It's a two player game which combines the
well-known Connect Four game and the ever-popular Tetris.

The two players, blue and red, take turns in dropping their "chips" into the
play field. You can only select which column to place your chip in, it will
always locate itself at the bottommost free row. The player that first get
four chips in a row, either horizontal, vertical or diagonal, you win.

The twist is that whenever the bottommost row is completely filled, it gets
removed from the game, and all chips are shifted one step downwards!

Requirements
------------

This game plays in the Commodore C128 80 column mode, and is written
entirely in BASIC 7.0.

If started from 40 column mode, it will prompt you to switch modes, and wait
for a key to be pressed. If started from anything else than a C128, it will
display an error message and exit.
