Another Tetris copy

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

Hey,

So I’ve had this laying around for half a year now, made it for school. But now it’s about time I show it to the entire world, aka. you guys, so that I can get some real feedback, and not just that from my teacher. Which wasn’t a whole lot about the game, but rather about the report I had to write too. (I’ve said “I” a lot in this thread, but to be fair we were 4 people working on this game. All of us writting on the report, and me as the main programmer of the game (95% of the code ^^))

Here’s a link to the applet version: http://infloop.org/tmp/tetris/

And here’s a link to the standalone app: http://infloop.org/tmp/tetris/Tetris-standalone.jar

This doesn’t store highscores accross sessions. The app version stores a “highscore.dat” file next to the jar file.

Btw. this is made entirely in Java2D.

So, fire away guys! What’d ya think? :smiley:

PS.: for those who wants to know, we all got a 10 for it, with the comment “If the report had been a bit better it would’ve been 12…” 10 being the next best and 12 being the best. (Scale: -03, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12) :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: I just realized how ugly the code is. I’m not using “this” anywhere at all. :s I should clean it up some time. :stuck_out_tongue:
EDIT 2: Fixed all missing “this”, “@Override” and minor weird stuff :stuck_out_tongue:

Another Tetris clone? :-\

#3

With 4 people you could have at least made some part of it different.

#4

Haha the showcase is filling up with them, and I’m a part of that problem :slight_smile:

I only made a Tetris clone because I had a big creative block and wanted to program. I’m sure he had a good reason.

Well, as I wrote, it was for a school assignment. And we only had 2 weeks to make the game and write the report. So yeah…

EDIT: And I guess it should be said that the 3 others had only been coding for 6 months. 1 java introduction course. :slight_smile:

#6

Huh. Well, I guess it’s ok as long as you learned something from it. And “my coding partners suck” doesn’t count.

#7

Jimmt, I never did say they sucked(Though 2 of them did. Which is why I’m not working with them in any courses, anymore, I learned my lesson). I explained why nothing more had been done. I didn’t ask to be told “Your game sucks, you didn’t make anything new.” I made as many features as I could with the limited time I had, while still fullfilling the assingment we had been given. Which was “Make a Tetris game, that can do .”

And yes, I learned plenty. It’s the first game I’ve made in Java, and the 2nd ever(First one being minesweeper in JavaScript/html) and at the time I had only coded Java for 6 months too.

#8

For only knowing Java for 6 months, this is impressive! Good job! :slight_smile:

#9

Oh, the assignment specifically said to make a Tetris game?
Kudos to the school for promoting creativity ::slight_smile:

#10

Today, every new game is clone of its successor. Nothing wrong with creating same game repeatly.

#11

There is nothing new under the sun.
