Scoring
-------
Basic points per cleared line are:
100 points for 1 line,
300 points for 2 lines,
500 points for 3 lines,
800 points for 4 lines (called "Tetris").
Scoring consecutive Tetrises provides 400 bonus points per Tetris.
Additionally the player receives a bonus score for using Soft and Hard Drops. Soft Drops award 1 point per dropped line, while Hard Drops award 2 points per dropped line.

Levels
------
Levels are a measurement of difficulty.
The speed at which pieces automatically drop down increases by 10% per level.
The current level increases after clearing 10 additional lines.

Vibration
---------
There are some problems with the vibration functionality that can occur on a few devices.
Also most tablet devices don't support Vibration at all.
If your device does support vibration but you don't notice the button vibrations, you can increase the vibration duration.
This setting is called "Vibration Delay Compensation" and can be found under advanced settings.
The duration of button vibrations should be adjusted to be just barely noticeable.

APM
---
APM means "Actions Per Minute".
This is a measurement of the player's finger speed.

FPS
---
FPS means "Frames Per Second".
This measures the frequency of display updates. Low FPS can be notices by slow reactions from the game and choppy displaying.
High FPS on the other hand consume more power. A good trade-off between display smoothness and power consumption can be achieved between 25 and 35 FPS.
FPS can be limited in advanced settings.

Randomizer
----------
7-Bag-Randomization:
Generates randomly permutated sequences of all 7 pieces. This means, that the player can never encounter 3 identical pieces in a row.
Plain Random:
The next piece will be independently generated at random.

Resumability
------------
An interrupted game is resumable as long as the "Exit" menu entry from the main menu was not pressed.

Screen burn-in on Super AMOLED

I just played Blockinger for the first time for about 15 minutes. After the game closed, I noticed the game buttons had been burned on to the screen. Apparently this is something that can happen to Super AMOLED (or simply any OLED technology) screens. An explanation for the cause begins here in this thread:

My issue was only temporary but noticeable because of the high contrast between the white buttons on the black blackground. Decidedly, I could fix the problem myself by turning the brightness down on the phone (it's supposed to automatically adjust to the ambient light but it doesn't). But you may want to provide an option to change the button colors to further alleviate this issue or just change the button colors to a light grey or blue or whatever you like to lessen the contrast a little bit.

One other thing: How about making the fast-drop button a different color from the rotate buttons? Several times I forgot which buttons were which and accidentally dropped pieces instead of rotating them. I don't have time to look at the button icons so a different color would make it stand out better.

Beautiful game, BTW.

Convert to Android Studio project and update README
Convert the project to Android Studio and got it to compile and install

Turn README into Markdown to improve readability, fix some typos and add unmaintained warning as well as links to the fork.

Vector icon

To add proper OUYA support I need the icon in size 732x412, which is larger than all the .png files in the repository.

It would be nice if the icon was available as vector image file.

Added key pad cursor control (for using it on e.g. Fire TV)

Hey, Great game! I wanted to play it on my Fire TV box using the keypad buttons on the remote. This patch connects the keypad button events to the existing touch button controls. Thanks for merging!
