 You can see and change in-game keybinds in the **SETTINGS** section of the main menu!

-You will find some more infos about the Rotation System and the scoring in the **INFO** section of the main menu.

+- Every polyominoes from size 1 to 15, selectable as you wish, with customizable propotionnality for each size!
+- Customizable keybinds!
+- 0° rotations!
+- AutoRS as the Rotation System!
+- IRS, IHS, infinite hold, and other leniency mechanics!
+- Very bland interface!! (i'm not a designer)

+## Pieces distribution
+
+A bag is an object which contains a set of pieces.
+The principle of a bag generator is to put every available pieces into a bag and take them out one by one until the bag is empty, to then start with a new full bag.
+It's a way to have equal distribution of pieces while still allowing for a random order of pieces.
+
+The game has 3 modes of pieces distribution:
+
+1. Default. The simplest of them, all selected pieces are put in a single bag.
+2. Uniformous. The pieces are now separated by size and put in different bags. Each size will now appear as often as any other.
+3. Custom. The pieces are once again separated by size, but now the player specifies how likely each size is to appear.
+
+Both system 2 and 3 uses a system analogous to a bag to determine which size of piece to take next.
