A Challenge!

[halla]

My bad I had lowercase s instead of capital. I do that a lot. I fixed it and uploaded the updated game with some changes I made today.

Let me know what you guys think... what I should add all that good stuff.

Well, better late than never. I actually started this tetris clone a few months ago and gave up after I got bored with it. No leveling yet. Hope Mith doesn't mind, but I used his graphics with a slight modification. And thanks Misunderstood for the wikipedia link on the scoring.

[Edit]Forgot to mention. Song found on Vgmusic.com

[Edit2]Also forgot to mention. If you don't want the music to play, either delete the song or rename it. Or if you want to play a different song, you can pass this parameter. -s [Filename] (minus brackets. For example: Tetris.exe -s C:\WINDOWS\Media\chimes.wav. It does support wav, midi, and mp3 files.

Screens:


Controls:
P = Pause
Esc = Quit
Arrows = Move Piece
Up Arrow = Rotate

Very nice red, work on the levels now

[BigRed]

Ok.....Done!

Same link. Leveling increases speed by 20 ticks each time. You level every 10000 points. I can lower that upon request...

[Edit] Slight fix on 2 things. I stopped the speed increase for after level 25. Your level will continue to rise, but the speed will stay the same as it was on level 25. Btw, it is REALLY fast on 25, causing a slight glitch in the keystrokes being caught. But I doubt anyone will play to that far. I also tweaked the random piece generator. It seemed to create the same peice over and over every now and then. It doesn't seem to do it as much now, but if it does, let me know and I can tweak it again.

Only 'easter egg' i found was with square blocks if you hammer left/right and . quick enough you can stop its descent completely o.0

[Liz]

F12 = random blocks!

YAY!

[Anarchy]

BigRed im mad at your game, it froze when i was like 20 min into it and then it said gameover

[BigRed]

Uh, yea :roll:....that's an easteregg!

Congrats!

Haha, you're the first person to encounter that bug. Did you have the music playing?

[Anarchy]

who are u talking to?

if me then im not shure didnt have speakers on

[BigRed]

You, you're the one who mentioned the bug in mine..

[Edit]Then you most likely did unless you deleted/renamed the song. I imagine that bug has something to do with the music. It is something I worried about when adding it, since the game seems to freeze for a second when loading it the first time..

Make minesweeper next...

[Leighland]

Hey I just had a thought... since Tetris and Yahoo! Towers are pretty much the same type of thing... someone wanna make me a clone of it? lol... my computer hates the web version and I love that game

I can pay you with cash, checque, or hugs ... rofl

Hey dave, I started to get away from here and elysium, thanks for the idea, since Im doing java now I'll do it in that, since I'm no longer gonna spend many time on a forum you'll here from me in about a month or two, it will be as authentic tetris as possible.
