BTetris1.0 (beta1)

I know .. just what we need.. more dumb games :)
Ok so there is already a Tetris fo Be. Actualy thereis two of them. But one of them is like 100% CPU hog. And the other has nag screen. So I decided (and wanted) to make this one.  It's taken a while for me to finish, but I think you will find it nice.  

Theme Notes:
	I never knew that Tetris was that complex!  Well it took me a while to get rotate working and all.  The GUI I droped on top of it has some nice features.  It has several themes that come with it. You can probably figure out how they work.  Just add a new directory and BTetris will pick it up.  In the new dir you must have at least 2 image files (or BTetris will just draw colored squares).  For normal mode you nead to make a "EmptyBlock" file (no extention - I like pngs though)  For the blocks you can name them anything you want.  BTetris will use the rest of the files in the directory as blocks.  If you wish to make a full image background - just name the file "FullBackGround" (again no extention)

	If you make your own theme .. Mail it to me.  I love new stuff.

BUGs:
	Block too big for 800x600
	Poor response time.  Engine I gess is not fast enough
	Bad theme dir. bad app behavor!
	If the the dir Theme/BW does not exist. No themes will work!
	If you RotateCCW it will sometime not go all the way around. (Too lazy to fix now)
	Speed never incresses in Beta.
	Score never incresses in Beta.
	Block preview does not work in Beta.
	Sound Is not enabled in Beta
