bastet (horribly difficult Tetris clone)

Have you ever thought that Tetris is evil because it never sends you that
straight "I" brick you need to clear four rows? Well, Tetris(R) probably
is not so malevolent, but Bastet certainly is. >:-> Bastet stands for
"bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R) clone for
Linux. Instead of choosing the next block randomly, this fiendish program
uses a special algorithm to give you the worst possible brick. Playing
Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!

Bonus points for presenting it to your friends as "just another Tetris
clone".

If you're in X and have TERM set to "xterm-color", the text cursor will
stay enabled, which looks a little weird. Use "xterm" or "xterm-256color"
instead.
