Here is a patch that:
- Removes the full stop after 'no tests'
- Changes the synopsis from "Multiplayer tetris" to "Multiplayer tetris game".
- Replaces the description with what you (swedebugia) suggested.
As an aside I did not find a working server anywhere ... There is a possibility to host your own server with jetrix though.
Oh I realised you meant a server program - the tetrinet package builds one called 'tetrinet-server', I tested it just now by running these commands in separate terminals:
`tetrinet-server`
`tetrinet player1 localhost`
`tetrinet player2 localhost`
Sending messages as the two different players shows up correctly in each tetrinet client, so I think the server works fine.

Hi Swedebugia,
having looked it up online I prefer the WP synopsis:
"TetriNET is a console multiplayer online Tetris game for up to six people."
There is a gnome version also. We should state clearly that this is a
console/text-mode client.
What does 'WP' mean?
As an aside I did not find a working server anywhere and the homepage of
the project is dead. There is a possibility to host your own server with

I played Tetrinet with someone over a server, but I can't remember what the address was.
You can't access the homepage of the project? I can access http://tetrinet.or.cz fine. Or do you mean it hasn't been updated in ages?
There could be trademark issues with the name/game also see

Regarding the potential trademark issues, both FSF-approved distros Parabola and PureOS have Tetrinet in their repositories[1][2], so I think it would be acceptable to add it to Guix. And if a copyright claim is made in the future it can always be removed.

suggest you add "game" to the end of yours.
