What is the scoring for lines cleared? It looks like:

1 line = 1 point
2 lines = 2 points (no extra points)
3 lines = 4 points (one extra point)
4 lines = 8 points (four extra points!)

I would think something like:

1 line = 1 point
2 lines = 4 points (double points)
3 lines = 6 points (double points)
4 lines = 8 points (double points)

Or even:

1 line = 1 point
2 lines = 3 points (1 extra point)
3 lines = 5 points (2 extra points - double previous)
4 lines = 8 points (4 extra points - double previous)

Would be more logical.

Nice work on adding the score. The game is really responsive and feels much more finished now. Very much improved over your earlier versions! (I'd still like the option to be able to rotate pieces the other way though.)

OK, I changed the scoring. I have a problem though: sometimes the scanline is 261 instead of the normal 262. What would be something to look for that would be causing that to happen?
