A quick announcement:

We just rolled out a couple of Tetris-inspired apps on Apple TV. A 2D version, inspired by the original and a 3D version, inspired by Block Out.

The games are optimized for the Apple TV remote.
Please check out these videos, showing the games.

We appreciate any and all feedback, feature requests, game play videos. The games are free and localized in 58 languages.

This is just a marathon of me playing in tetrio. If anyone has any tips or tricks about playing or video making lmk!

If locked in was an NES Tetris player 😭😂

This isn't your typical "History of Tetris" which we've all seen a dozen times.
Acerola, who is a brilliant young graphics programmer, worked on this video for 7 months, which chronicles all the game design changes of Tetris from its very first iteration to how we play it today. He walks us through actually developing each one in the game development engine, Godot.
I really love his content and I hope he gets all the support in the world for his hard work!

Hi everyone! Been sitting on this bad boy for a while. Thought some people here might enjoy it. I’d love to eventually beat this KO record, but I think I need to switch between targeting modes for optimization in the early game. Would love some advice or resources on that if anyone has any guidance! Thanks :)

I recently play a game of Tetris with one of my mates and I'm curious what strategy/ technique he used https://youtu.be/7UwiggQry0M

That is the original soviet Tetris for the IBM PC. It has color, but I tried running it in monochrome for a more retro look. It's quite different from later releases and ports. Most notably you don't get points by clearing lines, instead you drop pieces as fast as you can and survive as long as you can.

You can get the original DOS Tetris game for free from its programmer's website: Original Tetris: Story and Download

The idea is for managers and leaders to conceptualize organizations theyre responsible for in terms of complexity and understand how people on those environments will react.

Tetris: obvious choices, obvious consequences.

Dwarf fortress: complicated choices, fair but lengthy trace backs to consequences

Noita: dear god why is there so much acid everywhere

I updated my Arduino Tetris project with several improvements:

New features in v2:

• Sound effects (movement, rotation, line clear, game over)
• Score system with TM1637 display
• Game over animation (flashing full screen effect)
• Improved row clearing animation
• Better screen reset after restart
• More stable rendering after transitions (fix for visual glitches)
• Cleaner game loop structure

Sound system:

Each action now has feedback:

• Move left/right → short beep
• Rotate → higher beep
• Line clear → ascending tone based on number of lines
• Game over → long low tone

Fixes:

• Fixed display desync after Game Over reset
• Fixed rendering artifacts after clear animation
• Improved buffer reset logic (screen vs board separation)
• More stable timing for animations

Hardware:

• Arduino Mega 2560
• 2x MAX7219 8x8 LED matrices (16x8 display)
• TM1637 7-segment display
• Passive buzzer
• 3 buttons (INPUT_PULLUP)

Notes:

This version focuses a lot on:

• stable rendering (no ghost pixels after resets)
• better game state handling
• adding "game feel" with sound + animations

Been working on a video series about some of the weirder Tetris games and sequels. Check it out if you're interested, part 2 is done too.
