PBTetris recompiled for the HD3

neil_swann80 · 09-02-2023, 12:34 PM

The original PBTetris was programmed for a PB625 with a 800x600 resolution. When playing on my HD3 the scaling was tiny and distorted.

I've had a crack at recompiling the source after modifying the code and assets:
https://github.com/neilswann80/pbtetris

It's far from perfect, but definitely more playable than it was. The HD3 has a resolution of 1072x1448, if your pocketbook has a similar resolution it may work well for you also.

You can download it HERE

I may try and find some nicer block icons as they haven't scaled up brilliantly.

- Changed the blocks to a high-contrast Gameboy era style.
- swapped the arrow positions to make gameplay more natural
- Made the arrow buttons narrower so I could increase the game area.
- centred the game area
- brought the "Pause" and "New game" buttons near to thumb
- got hardware buttons working again for control
- added an exit/close button
- added a separate "DROP" button so I could have a left and right spin

Latest version HERE
