I thought this might be interesting to some people here. I'm putting together a "3d tetris" (sans trademarked name) in Soya. When done, it'll have 5 games using different polyminos (not just tetrominos) and different clearing scemes (some clear when you fill a whole plane, others will clear when you get a certain number of blocks of the same color in a row.
This is a very early alpha release. There's no score, no "ghost" (so its sometimes hard to see where your piece is going to drop), no joystick/controller support, it's difficult to rotate pieces, etc. But it's playable, and kinda fun :-) http://westfish.xiph.org/~arc/blockdropper-0.1.tar.bz2 untar, cd to the directory, and run "python core.py". Arrow keys move, shift+arrow keys rotate, space to drop a piece faster. It takes a bit to figure out how to rotate pieces the way you want. I'll probobally need to write a tutorial before 1.0 to make this easier, and I think the triminos game will be a much easier starting point for people. Please send feedback if you have any :-) _______________________________________________ Soya-user mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/soya-user
