Thread: My first C++ game is done!

... well actually it's been done for two days now, but I only just thought of putting it up here...

now, a few things first... this is truly my first complete C++ project, and my first game ever... I've not tested it with 2K/XP, though according to MSDN, it should work the same way (it's a console app)

It's my text-based tetris clone, Textris

Tell me what you think... and try to remember it's my first try

*EDIT* had an XP user test it... seems to work fine on all win32
*EDIT* fixed minor problem, new link below

i like it! i was expecting little pieces of text floating around. LoL

one thing though... .. err.... ok like this..

Code:

  []
[][]
[]    [][][][]

see that long skinny one? ican't slide it under the one next to it.. once the block touches the ground, i think you should beable to move it for just a quick second.

And with 3 extra lines of code... it's fixed You have an extra moment to move pieces once they touch (unless you drop them)

I get these compiler error messages when I try to compile it.

--------------------Configuration: TextTetris - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeGetTime@0
Debug/TextTetris.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

TextTetris.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

hmm.. for me, its still immediatly frozen once it touches the ground *shrug*.

but you're game is good d00b - can't believe it only took a couple weeks... its took me 2 weeks to find out i forgot the ; once

here's the source if you're interested

Thanks for the source. It've been waiting a long time for something like that

How about Alt+F4 ??

alt-f4 is the ultimate shutter dpwner it immeditly stops wutever is exucuting i that window and shuts it off. good if your using win me and suddenly you ge a feeling your gonna get the blue screen of death.

and the ability to move the piece a few seconds after it hits should be an option us the users can turn off.

Or you can also try Ctrl+Alt+Delete x2 if it really is nasty
