Quake Master Skins for LockJaw
==============================
Created by Rich „Weeds„ Nagel

Overview
--------
This archive contains two new replacement skins for version 0.41 (or newer) of
Damian Yerrick's EXCELLENT "LockJaw" Tetris-styled tetromino game. Find out
more about this great freeware Tetris game at http://www.pineight.com/lj on the
Internet!

The skins feature a new background image created using a screenshot from id
Software's "Quake" game for the PC (with pit borders created using graphics
from Triosoft's "Texmaster" Tetris clone game for the PC), two types of Tetris
"guideline" block images created from Arika's "Tetris The Grand Master" coin-op
arcade game, and color scheme. The skins also include replacement background
music as well (the theme music from the blockbuster movie "Terminator 2",
sequenced and recorded by me using my MIDI hardware).

Although completely different, several of the background images for Triosoft's
Texmaster always reminded me of some of the levels and textures in id
Software's Quake, and the initial level 0 music of Texmaster always sounded
similar to me to some of the Terminator movie music... hence the creation and
name of these new skins, "Quake Master".


Files Included in this Archive
------------------------------
Note that this archive includes two versions of the new replacement skins. The
skins that have "(LR)" contained in their filenames should be used when
LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left" or "Right" (as well as
in the future, when LockJaw eventually supports multi-player games), while the
other skins should be used when the game's "Playfield Postion" option is set to
"Middle".

Simply run LockJaw, and then select your choice of one of the following four
"SKIN" files from within the game's "Skin" menu. As previously mentioned, the
skins that have "(LR)" contained in their filenames should be used when
LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left" or "Right", while the
other skins should be used when the game's "Playfield Postion" option is set to
"Middle".

Note: For best visual results, set LockJaw's "Well Width" option to "10" and
the "Well Height" option to "20" within the game for all of the new replacement
skins. For the non-segmented blocks skins, set LockJaw's "Gluing" option to
"Sticky" within the game.
