iLiad project: tetris

yokos · 09-21-2007, 07:09 AM

This morning I tried gtktetris. Of course it's megalomaniac to port an action game for iLiad.

What? Tetris is an action game? Yep, rapid movements on screen. Not the same as a board game.

Oh, it's working & addictive. Screen refreshes need many tweaks, but playing level 1 is ok. I played it with USB & software keyboard, because I'm too stupid [right now] to add support of flipbar/up/dot/down buttons.

on my private to-do-list:
I have to learn to add support of iLiad's buttons. And fast please.

To support buttons, simply set the gtk title to "sh".

Also, it will need to be launched from the contentlister when testing.

Yokos, you're crazy.

But I have to say I like your kind of insanity.

Tetris?

No, no no! If you put Tetris on the iLiad all my time would be spent playing Tetris all day long! I am addicted to Tetris. I have to make sure it's not on any of my electronic devices. Same thing for Mahjong.

shhh, secretly a Tetris port sounds really neat!

Is there a refresh after every step a brick does? Is it smooth? All this sounds cool

Well, to be honest I did nothing with it all the time. Thanks for your reminder.
So I did some work yesterday.

Right now I'm struggeling with the included graphics files [xpm] of the blocks. I wanna have them more iLiad friendly.
I edited them in Krita, but make doesn't like them.

Whatever the crux is...

Support of iLiad buttons is working now.

But I have to turn the blinking LED off.

I could get a epileptic seizure when playing it. I have to check this out.

screenshot: keys/buttons layout. "drop block" should be flipping bar.

[EDIT]: Oh, problem with loading edited X PixMap files is solved:
First 2 lines of all xpm files have to be:

Code:

/* XPM */ 
static char * blocks_xpm[] = {

When editing the file big_blocks.xpm in Krita/GIMP it got:

Code:

/* XPM */ 
static char * big_blocks.xpm[] = {

Oh cool you look at it again. Thanks.

You can edit xpm with gimp: http://www.gimp.org/

I could help here (just edited xpm for micropolis), if I know wheres the problem.
Edit: Ah I understood now: You could edit the images, but tetris didnt like them anymore, yes?

Greetings
