Tetris Clone (Incomplete)
Creating a Tetris clone in C to practice C programming and learn more about Raylib (awesome library btw!).
Description
This game is a clone of the popular game Tetris. This clone features what you would expect from a simplistic version of Tetris, namely: falling blocks, which upon completion of a row disappear, score keeping and levels with incremental difficulty.
Here are some early screenshots of my progress:
I am currently in the progress of re-writing the entire codebase. I am a relatively new C programmer, and when I first started this project I hadn't nailed down a C style that I like. So I have been working on updating the overall style of the code; plus I have been challenging myself to use a ANSI-C standard.
There are also quite a few features left to implement:
- Update codebase to use cohesive style (still haven't landed on exactly what I like)
- Re-Implement rotation algorithm; my original algorithm was extremely buggy
- Empty rows that are full should "break"
- Broken rows should cause other rows to shift down without losing ordering
- scoring system
- display upcoming block
- introduce levels and increasing speed/score multiplier
I will be able to focus on those again once I finish the re-write.
