Screen layout

The game will runs at a resolution of 640 x 480. There is full screen backdrop specific to the level, which may contain some animation. The playing area, character portraits, stats, etc. are overlayed on top of the backdrop.

Playing area

Game play takes place in an 8 x 12 grid. Each of the two players (human or computer AI) has a playing area on the screen. The left grid is player 1 and the right grid is player 2 or the computer AI. In Internet/LAN play, both players play on the left grid, with the right grid displaying the opponent's moves.

Characters

Characters will be positioned between the two playing areas inside a framed box. The character portrait for the left player will be placed above the potrait for the right player.

Next piece, score

The next piece indicator and the score is positioned below the playing area for each player.
