3 Game Description

Dr. Mario is a Tetris-like game in which you must destroy deadly virii with medicines distributed
by the great Dr. Mario!  Line up the correct pills with the correct virii, and if you get four or
more in a row, the virus will die!  Each stage gets progressively harder with more virii.  Try
starting on a higher level with a faster speed for more of a challenge.  Don't let the space fill
up or you lose!  Try to get a high score!

5 Scoring

Each time you destroy a virus, you get a certain amount of points.  However, if you make
combos by destroying more than one virus with one pill, points grow by their base score
for each virus you destroy.

+-------+------------+
| Level | Base Score |
+-------+------------+
| Low   | 10         |
| Med   | 20         |
| Hi    | 30         |
+-------+------------+

Examples:

If you destroy two virii on Low, you would receive 10 points for the first and 10+10=20 for
the second.  So your score for that pill would be 10+20=30.

If you destroy three virii on Med, you would receive 20+40+60=120 points.

If you destroy four virii on Hi, you would receive 30+60+90+120=300 points.
