pedgarcia Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I just released a very simple redemption of Tetris for the Atari 8-bits, all written in Action! The game uses simple characters and shows no fancy colours. However, the gameplay is all there. I still want to create a nice intro screen and fix some small bugs. https://github.com/pedgarcia/tection Suggestions and contributions are welcome! Thanks Edited November 14, 2023 by pedgarcia renaming game 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedgarcia Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Thanks, the graphics are very simple (if you can consider those graphics), but the main objective was really to implement the logic using Action! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hello, just one small note - there is/was already a Tetris game named "ACTris". And if I remember correctly it was also programmed in Action! https://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=6343 My suggestion would be to change the name of your game a little bit, so we do not mix them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedgarcia Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 And I thought I was very clever with then name Thanks for the heads up. I will change it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirx Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 possibly the best tetris implementation in Action! is "Warsaw Tetris". Very old, but still pretty schmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedgarcia Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I checked the video of Warsaw Tetris, and it is really very well made. After seeing it, I guess my game is more an programming exercise than a fully fledged game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirx Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I do not think so @jhusak? the best tetris clone with sources is of course tetryx: need sources? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 ...waiting for the intro screen... When you reach "Game Over" the game currently crashes, hopefully you will implement to go back to the intro screen (as soon as you have an intro screen).

jhusak Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I think no chance to get sources of The Warsaw Tetris. They've gone. We have met lately on the Atari-meeting in Warsaw after 35 years! And Arek Łukszo (the author) said that he gave all the disquettes to Tomasz Mazur, who literally has no idea where they would be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedgarcia Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hopefully I will take some time this holidays to finish the game, make it prettier, etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
