Newbie needs help with tetris clone
Author
Hi
As a newbie to game programming i thought it would be a good start to make a tetris clone, but alas i am running into
all sorts of problems
Would there be any programmers out there that would be able to
give me a hand ?
if so please send a mail to lindsayf@gofree.indigo.ie
thanks in advance

How about this idea: Think up your own logic and ideas for creating a tetris game. That way you will actually LEARN something rather than just regurgitating others work.
Please don''t flame people for asking for help; that''s why this forum''s here.
Hicks: I''d suggest you get a good grasp on the language you''re going to be using before you start. If you''re ready to get started, though, there are quite a few articles on development in the gamedev archives. Try the "articles and resources" link under "resources".

Hmm, time to post my tetris code for you 
This really works. Link ddraw.lib and winmm.lib to it and compile in msvc:
Sorry, just gotta show that off

.. amazing.. but it didn''t work =P
I''m pretty sure you did something wrong
I have the compiled exe here
Now why did it not work?
Are you looking for reasons or just testing the newbies? :-D BTW, how on earth did you debug this? It is quite possibly the most cryptic code I have -ever- seen.
lol, nice code pouya ;p
Hicks, what kind of problems are you running into...at the very least it shouldn''t be too hard to create a 2-dimensional array and do some crude collision detecting through that.
Give us some idea of what you''ve come up with.

Try it some time. If you write it in expanded format first, it's quite easy.

It''s way more than that actually. I''m storing all the pieces and board in an encrypted binary format and those two macros on the top are for decoding them. Not an easy thing to do
But yeah, if you don''t try to encrypt the code, it''s easy, just rename all your variables into one letter things CAREFULLY and then erase all the extra newlines and wrap around the 80 char and you have a cryptic piece of code.
Not suggesting the tetris newbies to try it out by the way
