  Block out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is seen from top view, so instead of falling down the y-axis, the blocks fall down the z-axis (that is, "into" the screen).
You are allowed to move the blocks in the x and y axes, and move forward in the z-axis.
Don't be fooled by the slow pace in which the blocks fall in early levels - it's quite difficult even then.

 CLHS: Special Operator BLOCK
block establishes a block named name and then evaluates forms as an implicit progn.
At any point lexically contained within forms, return-from can be used with the given name to return control and values from the block form, except when an intervening block with the same name has been established, in which case the outer block is shadowed by the inner one.
Once established, a block may only be exited once, whether by normal return or explicit return.

 CinemArcade.com: Block Out
Instead of dancing Russians, Block Out presents the player with a slick, hi-tech environment enhanced by 3D graphics, great music (although slightly reminiscent of 80's keyboard-heavy comedy soundtracks,) and a disembodied head that taunts you between levels (similar to the alien in Space Fury although with a smaller vocabulary.)
Unfortunately Block Out is burdened by a somewhat cumbersome set of controls that do nothing to enhance the overall 3D theme of the game.
Exploring the dipswitch options in MAME it appears that Block Out can be configured to be played with a joystick to control the position of the blocks and either two or three buttons controlling rotaion of the blocks.

 Block-out dark preps
While the lithium disilicate is slightly opaque, it does not block out very dark preparations or metal posts that are exposed through a build-up material.
I also have found that if the preparation has gray shading (such as that seen with an endodontically treated tooth or a very dark tetracycline case), the graying transfers through the restoration and it is difficult to match adjacent teeth with a warmer value.
Since both of these core materials are opaque, they are better at blocking out the darker preparations; at the same time, however, they reduce the overall vitality and translucency of the final restoration.
