| I'm currently programming a little Tetris-Game. It's just good 'ol Tetris, but with lots of opportunities to make Combo-Scores, like with Super-Blocks, Height-Bonus, Multiple-Line-Killing, Global Multiplicators and Stage Bonus. I'm kinda proud to say, that it's quite addicting, if you get into it. This is now the latest BETA-Version, fully playable. And I have to say Big Thanks to WolRon: I worked my way through your Tetris-Basic-Tutorial, experimented a lot with it, broke the code, changed stuff, etc. thus learning a lot about the nature of Blitz Basic. You wanna check your Paypal-Account, 'cause I sent you some cash for no reason at all. ;) Thanks also to Vincent a.k.a Bogus, who put the finishing touches on my otherwise rather crappy Block-Graphics. Controls: Arrow right = Move Piece right Arrow left = Move Piece left Arrow up = Turn Piece Arrow down = Accelerate Piece downwards ESCAPE =Quit Game SPACE = Pause Game M = Toggle Music on/off ENTER = Validate, after you've entered a new Highscore A Screenshot:  And, most important, the Download-Link: http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3H0E7Y5EPRQ6D2XP67CP27WX9M Now make some Highscores and keep your eyes out for those dolphins . . . ;) |

| not bad (better than most in fact).  Plays fine, look fine.  I did one too http://www.jbcomputersolutions.com/tetroid.shtml  It's a good exercise in finishing a project.  Read the readme for keys. |

| Tried it.  Works great.  Got some cool effects. I even saw the dolphins twice, but I don't know why. Some instructions on how bonuses are achieved would be useful. I did notice that continuing to clear lines in succession scored bonuses as well as clearing a line with a flashing piece but I'm not sure of the specifics. One criticism: This has got to be the longest playing tetris game in existance... I played for about an hour straight (scoring some 13,000 points) but I was still only on level 5. By that time, I should have been on something like level 25 (if I was that good). Eventually, I just gave up because my fingers were getting tired (especially the middle one since all of the rotations and drops are done with that finger). |
