T-TRIS (Open BETA 1.65)

I'm currently programming a little Tetris-Game. It's just good 'ol Tetris, but with lots of opportunities to make Combo-Scores, like with Super-Blocks, Height-Bonus, Multiple-Line-Killing, Global Multiplicators and Stage Bonus. I'm kinda proud to say, that it's quite addicting, if you get into it. This is now the latest BETA-Version, fully playable.

And I have to say Big Thanks to WolRon: I worked my way through your Tetris-Basic-Tutorial, experimented a lot with it, broke the code, changed stuff, etc. thus learning a lot about the nature of Blitz Basic. You wanna check your Paypal-Account, 'cause I sent you some cash for no reason at all. ;)

Thanks also to Vincent a.k.a Bogus, who put the finishing touches on my otherwise rather crappy Block-Graphics.

Controls:
Arrow right = Move Piece right
Arrow left = Move Piece left
Arrow up = Turn Piece
Arrow down = Accelerate Piece downwards
ESCAPE =Quit Game
SPACE = Pause Game
M = Toggle Music on/off
ENTER = Validate, after you've entered a new Highscore

Now make some Highscores and keep your eyes out for those dolphins . . . ;)

Glad to see my tutorial actually is helping people out.
Hey, thanks for the money too ;) !!
Looks like a great version. I will have to try it out...

not bad (better than most in fact). Plays fine, look fine. I did one too http://www.jbcomputersolutions.com/tetroid.shtml It's a good exercise in finishing a project. Read the readme for keys.

Tried it. Works great. Got some cool effects.
I even saw the dolphins twice, but I don't know why. Some instructions on how bonuses are achieved would be useful.
I did notice that continuing to clear lines in succession scored bonuses as well as clearing a line with a flashing piece but I'm not sure of the specifics.

One criticism: This has got to be the longest playing tetris game in existance...
I played for about an hour straight (scoring some 13,000 points) but I was still only on level 5. By that time, I should have been on something like level 25 (if I was that good). Eventually, I just gave up because my fingers were getting tired (especially the middle one since all of the rotations and drops are done with that finger).

So, when's the next version available? :)

Sounds interesting. Got a link?

Uh, yeah;
Did you check my sig? (BASIC Programming Tutorial)

;)

Look at the Code Samples section.
