Its perhaps unlogicable but its better to play with arrows because when you turn piece with a or z you have to search space bar...

Cheers, FireFox.

I use my thumb... so no searching is needed. But, like I said above, customizable hotkeys are coming so there's no need to shoot yourself over me not using the up arrow for anything.

If anybody can find sound effects better than these I would greatly appreciate it. I just took these out of the game (or rather from a youtube video of someone playing the game). These sound effects were recorded while one of the themes was playing so sometimes there's an extra note or bleep..

Sound_Effects.zip

Note: I don't need the music, just the sound effects (unless you have the music that plays after game over, I just have the three theme songs right now).

Now with music and better graphics!

I don't really like the sounds you have.

I whipped these up. Probably have issues with timing cause it was a quick job, but I like them better.

Maybe have a sound for removing a row of blocks, and one for tetris?

The controls did lag every so often, but it seemed okay most of the time.

Hmm, I don't like your Tetris at all. I actually had a tetris sound I just forgot to include it. I might use your move sound, it seems better. I'm already working on a solution for the controls lagging, I couldn't sleep last night so I was busy thinking about it.

[BrettF]

Thats cool. If you want I could attempt to recreate the Tetris sound...

here's original tetris music: LINK

I got error when I went to High Scores before INI file was created

$temp = StringSplit($hist[$i][1], '|')
$temp = StringSplit($hist^ ERROR

(I also recommend you make high score file inside of script dir, cuz in temp it might get deleted accidentally)

there's also issue of rotating item when it's touching the left/right edge of tetris (it's not rotating )

and you could also make it rotate on the "up" key (beside "a" and "s"), cuz most tetris games are using "up" key, and ppl got used to that

btw, good looking tetris, and good job

Very good job Ichigo

Apropos music, why don't you use mod audio files using bassmod.dll? There are pretty nice and small audio files. Maybe there is also a Tetris mod sound available...

I don't like the shadow of where it will drop. Takes away some of the challenge. The board seems a little small. As in not wide enough and not tall enough. The best Tetris game I ever played I had on my Windows 95 computer somewhere around 10 years ago. It was full screen, had a graphic back ground, as you increased in level it got faster, the music changed, and the background changed. The last level was a picture of jets. I will say it looks impressive, but for a guy that used to be able to extend a Tetris game for hours with the blocks moving so fast that if you blink they are stacked to the top, it needs a lil work.

Altogether though it is impressive. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for customizable keys I prefer up to rotate. The old school only had one directional rotate.

Nice update, keep it up

Cheers, FireFox.
