Hi Everyone,
I'm happy to say that Generic Block Game 2.0 (cough.. Tetris clone.. cough) is finally ready (I think)... !
A lot of bug fixes
and new features have gone into this.
Originally written as my contribution to #MARCHintosh 2026, it's grown into something I never planned, and the response has been great from the community!
I've learned a LOT writing this and my other little apps, games and BBStro.
Particle effects
Screen shake
Amiga MOD music (5 songs to choose from!)
Sound FX
Custom themes...
oh my!
Some of the bigger new features (I won't cover them all and bore you)
...
- Line(s) now flash before they clear.
- 'Tetris' 4 line clear is now called a 'Quadra'.
- Line drop speed increases with level increase to a MAX of level 16.
- Added a new music selection Apple menu.
- Start with a centred game window, regardless of screen resolution.
- Add bonus rewards text and explosion for achievements like getting a Quadra, etc..
- Added a TIMED GAME mode. Player selects predefined time amounts. Can be used with Level up or not.
- THEMES! Added an Apple theme drop down selection menu.
- Piece locking delay added with the menu ability to adjust the delay time (short / med / long).
A full 'new features / bug fixes' ReadMe.txt file is in the .SIT and on Demozoo.
My favourite themes are Secret of the Slime & Ice ice baby!
Yes, my 80s humour is coming through.. sorry, you're stuck with me...
You can download the .SIT (as well as v1.5 and the full 1.5 CodeWarrior project, libraries and source) from my Demozoo account.
The 2.0 CodeWarrior project will be posted there ASAP, I just want to finish commenting the source first so it almost makes some sort of sense.
Let me know what you think!
Good, bad, suggestions, requests. All welcome!
Runs well on my LC475 and CC Mystic.
Was careful to make sure no FLOAT math, so 68LC040 should be happy.
Also runs great in the Basilisk II emulator on my M1 MacBook Air.
Check out some of my other fun while over on Demozoo.
Thanks for checking it out!
