@JuddMan:
please use the Java Preferences API (java.util.prefs) for storing the game’s configuration. Creating files in my homedir is very annoying.
I really enjoy the ‘shadow piece’, it would be nice though if you were able to shut it off if you like though.

If you press ESC you get an options menu. F9 turns toggles the ghost piece on/off.
Page moved. My old ISP finally did a tidy up of their member pages, so my files there are all gone now, so i uploaded them elsewhere.
I’m not sure if the old JInput library packaged with it still works on Java 1.6… (but not to worry). Last i checked JInput has changed a fair bit so I doubt it’d be a simple swap out.
Ah those were the days. This is the first game I finished making, back when i was new to programming.
While i’m posting in this ancient thread, I’d like to thank everyone who helped me here when i was starting, many of you are still around.
Hi!
It works fine, thank you. I see some French words in the Java console, is it expected? Is it your log messages?
It does write some stuff to the console but not in french.
It could possibly be something from the JInput library, but i’m not sure. can you paste the message?
Edit:
I got back to tinkering with this now, so here’s the first new version in 3-4 years. 
Added some basic particle effects. when lines are destroyed, the blocks will explode out of the line, and the blocks above will slide down in to place.
New secret features:
F11: Adjust particle style:
1 time: disables particles
2 times: enables blocks and confetti
6 times: enables excessive amounts of blocks and confetti (will be hard to see what you’re doing)
7 times: confetti but no blocks.
8 times: back to start (blocks, no confetti).
3, 4, 5: blocks with varying amounts of confetti.
F12: Increases the speed of the visual effect where blocks above destroyed lines slide down into place.
There are four speeds: slow, medium, fast, and instant.

Enjoy. I’m open to feature requests.
