So bloody satisfying. Thanks for this one.

While I agree the patterning is pretty lame...I submit that this "version" of the game needs to be written...like now...I might go write it myself. Anyone?

And I won't but, I'll say I will.

Just like I said with snakes on a plane.

Bleh, that version looks like poo.

We really need a full screen Tetris for the Raspberry Pi.. The Tetris apps for Linux are SERIOUSLY dated and crap.

This version would be hideously boring. It would take much much longer than the normal game. The super slow pace would make the game completely unfun.

Not necessarily, there could be some neat twists thrown in...like multiple blocks (tab to switch blocks), some special effects, special moves, combinations, puzzles.

It would take at least a few minutes to clear the first line. You're talking a half hour to an hour per game.

And what the fuck, downvote?

I didn't downvote you...for the record. I think you raise a good point overall, and it presents a challenge to game design. It's one thing to just program up a big tetris screen...it's another thing to allow for game design considerations to go with it. I'm sure the original developers spent a lot of time on the 10x20 grid decision.

I play the iPhone version of the game. It's incredibly addicting. I play the one-touch marathon mode. It shows a few "recommended" spots for the piece to go and you just choose one, or slide left or right to adjust those recommendations.

I'd love to do that myself, if for no other reason than to get better at coding. And play giant tetris.

Blur your eyes for just a second and you'll see either Samus or the Katamari dude

I definitely see Boba Fett when I blur my eyes.

OP. If you are indeed the one that made this, take a hint from the community. It's a great wallpaper, except for the copied/reversed block stacks, which is distracting. Don't be ashamed to retry.

I can't see the pattern. Could you point where to look.

You think that would take you a summer?

No, but I don't have time for it until I finish my exams :(

Reminds me of this.

I would enjoy this twenty times more if both the left and right sides didn't have a mirror image. Not only is the pattern noticeable, but it creates some areas where it dissects the pieces that fell...

[–]minusxero 5 points6 points ago

All I can see is the CRAPPY mirrored drops of lines on the left side. Really? You have ALL that space and you place those lines there? With that little space? You make me sick and I hope you get s and z pieces for the rest of your game.

This is awesome, perfect for my android's background! It would be cool to see this as a Live Wallpaper, or a playable background game.

I said the same thing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jug6ernaut.lwp.blocks

The free version is pretty decent, I've been letting it run all day. The pro version ($1.50) lets you customize colors and background images and stuff, though.

If you want a real challenge try doing Stereogram Tetris.

I want to play this game!

[–]DarxusC[!] 0 points1 point ago

It's been 23 hours, and I still can't play this?

It's certainly tempting to see how quickly I can whip it up in perl gtk.

Or maybe just open a feature request bug on one of the ~16 tetris programs packaged for ubuntu (I attempted to count, that wasn't an exaggeration). Surely one of them can do arbitrary size already....
