<H3><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2 How to gain points</A>
</H3>

<P>
<P>There are two sources of points :
<UL>
<LI> Dropping down a piece gives a small amount of points equals to its
drop height. It is not much but better than one can think perticularly in
small levels (when the pieces fall slowly).
</LI>
<LI> The biggest part of the score comes from destroying full lines. It is
very important to note that destroying multiple lines at the same time 
gives you much more points. A four-lines destruction is called a
<EM>tetris</EM> : it gives a maximum amount of points.
<P>The points gained are 40 for a one-liner, 100 for two lines, 300 for three
lines and 1200 for a tetris. These numbers must be multiplied by the current
level. Destroying four lines in level 10 gives 12000 points !!
