Some kind of Tetris

More an experiment than a full game. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Krtg3vt5_Ho

Wow, rotating Tetris! You should post it here as well: <:-P

I love it!

Lovely "Ringtris" -- an interest prototype. The aesthetic reminds me of some of the Art Style games -- in particular, Cubello.

It would be interesting if ragged bottom rows of the tube also hung down from the top of the screen, and you could press a special key to "clamp" them (like a mechanical press) and clear the matching rows from the bottom of screen if they match the ragged top row. This would make it "Toroid-tris" since it potentially wraps in both directions.

Thanks for your kinds words! Never heard of Cubello, but it looks interesting.

@jeremydouglass: Your idea sounds interesting, too. But rather than modifying the actual game I would go for "Toroid-tris" right from the beginning. Maybe with a toroid-like depiction of the playfield, as well. I'll think about how to do this effectively.

But till then, I'm working on a multitasking game.

Up to now it's just a rough working prototype. I have to improve some things and I'll also make it a little prettier later on. Then I'll post it here as well. (And yes, I like Teris). ;)

...or go real 3D (at the moment the game logic is still 2d, the game surface is just turned to circle)

real 3D:

Yeah, I tried these more-D-tetrisses (also the 4 dimensional version) but I found the 2D versions more enjoyable and I still think the old "standard" tetris works best as as game.

Bellissimo :)

here is a example of some blockout stones / pieces

Blockout II seems to be for free btw, see below

I made a P5.js version. It's now playable online: polymetronome.com/tube

Really fun. Nice reflection effect.

One suggestion -- the wide row size (19) means that clearing rows moves really slowly and that single mistakes are much more likely to block a row (1/19, not 1/10) -- so the game feels slower and harder than original Tetris, with less positive feedback. Perhaps consider scaling up on a tighter ring, like 13? Or making that a setting.

Chrisir

looks fantastic

Although I have to hold shift to make A and S and cursor work

(Win 10 machine here)

Although I have to hold shift to make A and S and cursor work.

Weird. When I used 'a' and 's' for input nothing happened for me when I pressed the keys (caps lock was not active). I had to use 'A' and 'S' for the inputs to be recognized. Anyway, I now use both.

Chrisir

thanks, a and s work now

for cursors, I still have to hold shift (which doesn't make sense really, I know)

blast664

I now included the keycodes from keycode.info/ for the arrow keys.

Which browser do you use?

Chrisir

I still need to hold shift

Mozilla Firefox on Win10

blast664

It's the same for me with Firefox but I have no clue why this happens.

The keycodes displayed on keycode.info are the same in Firefox.
