Hi,

This is just a crazy experiment - well, dunnow if "experiment" is the word (but "crazy" certainly is). I just thought that this could be done in PD and so I did it, to check if I was wrong.

This is... well... the old and glorious Tetris game, recreated in PD.

And this is just standard official PD distribution with no weird externals - the "miller pucket version" downloaded from the official site.

Here it is:
http://puredata.org/Members/matteosistisette/tetrispatch

Just unzip the archive, and run "tetris.pd".

Let me know if it doesn't work - it should since I did it with the standard distribution... I suppose.

It also have music (the classical tetris theme), though at the moment it lacks sound effects (kind of a shame isn't it).

It is made of a lot of toggles moving around...

I attach the zip file.
I would love to read some comments.

Bye
Matteo

This is good. But there is no score, though. Also the music is not very much.

As much as I'd like to say you've spent way too much time on this...

no amount of time is too much time for tetris

One day indeed...

Dunnow if it was too much, but when I was going to do the score and speedup stuff, I thought that was at least *enough*
