Hey, I made a tetris game, check it out.

Not bad, I assume assembly. You got a download?

Note: refresh if you don't see the pic in my first post.

I would have put this in the graphics section, because it is technically graphics, but I decided not to, because it is coding, not sprites.

So here's what I need. I need 22 different routines that will animate the tetris background. The 2 areas that need animation are the far left column, which is Plotsscreen, and each byte below it (pixel columns 0-7), and the other, larger column, Plotsscreen +7, and Plotsscreen +8, and the bytes below it, (pixel columns 56-71), the only requirements are that the routine be under 5000 t-states, and not use any RAM other than plotsscreen (that means no adding sprites, you have to make it mess with what's already there [look at the screenshot in the other thread]). You should post your entries here with the code, followed by how you want your name in the credits, and a screenshot of it in action. This is not a competition, since I don't expect I will get more than 23 entries, it is just a way for you to get easy credits

. All it takes is a pad of paper and 5 minutes.

Here's a sample, the code that makes it spiral:

Code: Select all

bg_0:
ld hl,plotsscreen
ld de,12
ld b,64
bg_loop_1:
rlc (hl)
add hl,de
djnz bg_loop_1
ld hl,plotsscreen+7
ld de,11
ld b,64
bg_loop_2:
rrc (hl)
inc hl
rrc (hl)
add hl,de
djnz bg_loop_2
ret

So you're going to replace these animations with the current one? The current animation, although pretty cool, is very distracting. (at least, it is to me)

Very nice! I love the cool backgrounds!
The text on the right runs into the black background...for some reason that's bugging me. Try leaving a pixel of space between the text and the background, or maybe just a black line.
Goddamn I'm OCD...

Erm, I guess I'll add that to 1.2.
I als just realized how screwy/buggy the highscores system is in this version, that will be fixed too. :/

Note: Still looking for background code.

Argh, you need to be on IRC more often, I hate reporting bugs on forums for some reason.

Yeah, the high scores are waay buggy, and the T piece, when rotated clockwise [ so it's a T on it's right side ] there are added pieces to the lower left side of the piece... like so

Code: Select all

  O
 OO
O O
OO

and it being Tetris, it should score like Tetris. Being you can score for more than just line clears. At least, that's how I didtinctly recall the NES version of Tetris working [ the one liscensed by Nintendo. It's been too long since I played the TenGen version ]

I thought Jon left the community. He said he was only going to be around for 2 or 3 weeks

ok, I really wanna be done with this project so i can get on with my life, so tell me any and every thing I should put into this (aside from link play) so I never have to deal with this program again.

I'm interested to know how Tetris coding would work. Is the playfield it like a tileset?

Add music.

DigiTan he released the source. Go check it out on ticalc.org

Only thing that really bugged me was that the slow drop speed (not insta drop) was so extremly fast I couldn't control it. Maybe a little slowdown would be nice. Otherwise, its awesome
