And lastly, technically your code is Windows-only, so to say that I can "use the [compiler/IDE] of my choice" is not really accurate. :) If you need any clarification for the corrections above, feel free to ask.

Since he's using SDL all of the code *should* work fine on the other supported platforms...well except for that "WinMain" anyway. It's been a long time since I used SDL but I used to just declare an "int main" and SDL would map that to its internal WinMain. I can't imagine they would take that out, and it's an easy change to make if the tutorial is going to be considered multi-platform.

Here it is the complete sourcecode (including SDL) ready to compile in Visual C++ Express Edition under Windows platforms. In "Release" folder there is also an executable file just in case you want to try it directly.

Other platforms:

The sourcecode itselfs is almost platform independent but it dosen't come with a "makefile". However, the first version of this tutorial (that was written in plain c) was working perfectly under Linux, so you can try to port it yourself. In order to port it to linux:

- Quit the "pragma preprocessor" directives and properly link the "SDL" and "SDL_GfxPrimitives" libs in the makefile.
- Change the WinMain method to "int main()"

Now I'm using zip format, but I can't remember if it is possible to open a zip file under linux easily. I remember the .gz / .gzip extensions under linux, but I don't know if they are just the same zip files that Winrar or Winzip create.

Quote:Zip is no problem, at least not if you use the default deflate compression. It supports other compression algorithms that may give the Linux implementation of zip trouble, I'm not sure. I've never had a problem though, and I can verify that it doesn't have a problem with yours.

When I get a chance I'll tinker around to see what it takes to compile. I don't think I can link to the provided SDL files, but I've got them installed. SDL_gfxPrimitives is deprecated and replaced by SDL_gfx. It seems like it should be just a drop-in replacement, however, since you only seem to use boxColor. Should be fun.

Here you have the first version I made of this Tetris clone, under Linux. It is plain c. I'm not using linux currently so I can't check if it stills works, but it should.
