Be aware, the program chashes after a while playing. I will fix it when I have time

cool

Nice, I have a COLUMNS game -- just did it over these holidays.

Looks nice from here. I will take a close look later this evening when I get home.

Well, this is the second approach to tetris game. I think it works rather well (if someone find a bug, please tell me).

There are many things that wait to be added:
* Score
* Level
* Speed increasing
* Title frame
* Etc

When I have time... Have fun.

P.D. Maybe you have noticed that there's a new figure, u alike, what do you think about it?... Do you think anything?

Regards

U can be dropped only legs up!

"U" shape is not a part of the tetris elements set, because it contains 5 squares.
Also, the key Up rotates the element in the wrong direction.

You can rotate figures with up arrow cursor...

i think.... the source.

In this version I fix a bug when exit the program, also up now it is possible exit the program using escape key.

Source code? Sure:

This is a source code for some years ago... Thank you for your time.

Looking at this post I've noticed that I had forgotten zip file... Well... This version fix a bug in exit code and we can exit using escape key, also we can choose successfully new game... Perhaps this time I can achieve upload the file

I have added this time score and level indicators as well as increasing speed with level, plus fixed a bug on collision checking. Besides I'd like to add a "hall of fame" feature. It is also needed a deeper code revision in order to optimize it and erasing bugs if they exist.


If anyone find a bug, please, report it to me

Regards

1. The rotation should be counter clock wise, or at least user adjustable. Now it annoys extremely.
2. The "standard" tetris playing field is 10 squares wide and 20 squares high.
3. "U" element is not tetromino element, because it contains 5 squares, not 4.
4. The score digits dark blue/light blue are almost unreadable on my display.
5. The background is blue for me and the labels draws wrong on black rectangles. Screenshot attached:

Wow!, every system is a world apart Which operating system do you have? In WXP and W7 the window is black. Maybe i could light more numbers, although i believe they can be readed well.

On the other hand, the goal is not to make an exactly clonic of Tetris, but a game alike it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Humm... if i don't remember wrong, it is possible that the blue background appears in the last servicepack of W7....

My OS is WinXP professional. The blue color is actually the color of the desktop. Maybe your is black?
The rotation direction is really important IMHO. It is matter of habits, acquired during thousands hours of tetris play.

Yes, I can understand ... I have played many games, but I have a special memory for Doom and Stardust (by TopoSoft, my first game).

Not a major change, so ... when i will make the hall of fame, i will make figures rotate in reverse ... In the case of U, it was an experiment ... I think it makes the game more difficult and therefore more interesting.

I guess that the wallpaper color does not affect to the background.

Kind regards.

Don't mix up the picture of the background and the color of the background. You can check your in "Control panel"|Display|Appearance|Advanced|"Item Desktop"

Yes, you are right, when i change this property, the background color of the game changes also. Thank you.
