LOCKJAW 0.41 and later for PC, 0.42 and later for DS, and 0.43 and later for GBA recognize secret grades. Ranking is by more rows of pattern completed, then by less time to create, then by score.

Suggestion: For the > pattern, would it not be better to allow the tetromino to enter above the ceiling as it would largely eliminate the luck that is involved with completing the last row(s)?

I was trying to make the scores from this screen comparable to the scores from TGM series, which use enter below. But there is still a defect in the detection: unlike in TGM series, the top row of the pattern is currently not required to be closed. The forthcoming 0.43 will fix this defect, and scores on 0.43 will beat scores on <= 0.42 with the same number of rows. It's a good thing I put the version number into the ranking
Drat, I should have taken a replay of my GM run. I closed it off at the top, but now I don't have any way to prove it. Oh well.

Been there a few times when setting a speedstack tome on TDS. And I'm glad someone likes the sig style, except that I copied it from someone else...
