[BETA] SIR TET (Tetris)

[Mitch]

Great game, really smooth, High Score 20320 Level 5. Keep up the good work and add a menu/restart.

[IndeedJimmy]

Cleanest looking game so far and everything that's visible seems to work great.

I tried it out and its great. I could play tetris for hours

Nice job truck.

So, how far along are you on the music playback menu? I got a basic and simple random music playback in the background added to your game.. but its nothing compared to a selection menu. + rep when you have it uploaded.

Just finished and uploaded it. It's pretty alpha, but it should be able to shuffle and let you pick a playlist.

ATM it seems to crash if an empty playlist is selected (like if you pick the quick list, but there isn't anything in it). Also, make sure you set your Zune's volume before starting SIR TET, b/c once the game's open, you can't change it.

High Score: 22Kish and level 6
Works great. Only complaint is that there is no menu or restart

Check the first post. It's been updated to V2.

itsnotabigtruck, I think it'd great if the 'Up' key made the block fall down immediately, like the classic Tetris games.

Great new version. I'm glad I could tell which version is which. The game is laid out nicely and so is your template for posting this. Whenever other games are updated I can't even tell because they don't post it.

New version looking great. Thanks!

Edit: where can I get the new font >.< or is there an easy way to switch it back?

Edit x2: I found the font.. changed it to kootney.

If you read the text file you were supposed to READ BEFORE DEPLOYING in the ZIP file, you would see that you need to copy the two font files that come with the game into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts and restart Visual Studio.

Edit: Changing the font in regular.spritefont and bold.spritefont works too, it's just that it might not look as good as it would with Segoe UI.

Wait... for some reason i'm having issues with version 2. Sometimes when I click left, it rotates the piece.. granted my zune is really messed up right now(i'm waiting for a box to send it back) but is anyone else noticing this?

Wow this is really the best game for zune so far (in my opinion) good job and please make more updates.

Oh and yeah the "up" key should make the block fall immediately or maybe you could make it so when you press up it will hold the block for later. But good work i really enjoy your work.

I dunno if anyone notices but a few times in the game a shape comes out like 5-6 times before another one comes out happened to me like 5 times now gets really really annoying when your almost at the top

another than that its an epic game

[Soccerfreak24]

Ok, here are the two things I've noticed so far:
1: It seems like clicking "any" for music should be random.
2: Highscores?
3. Dunno if this is affecting anyone, but left sometimes rotates the piece for me.

I've had that happen, too, but luckily it was a straight piece.

1. The code should be enabling shuffle when you select any. However, I don't think shuffle kicks in until after the first song (it plays the alphabetically first song in your entire library first). I'll fix this in the next version.
2. I'll probably add that in the next version.
3. That might be a variation of the touch problems a few people reported earlier in the thread. I have a Zune 30 so I can't test that kind of stuff very easily, though I'll see what I can do in 0.3.

Nice job , but the font Segoe UI seems to be only available for systems using vista. Could you possibly make another version that uses a different font other than Kootenay and Segoe UI (Hopefully one that works with XP) Thks

Awesome, but man, keep up the great work. This is by far the best zune game to come out so far.
+rep.

Can someone link me to Segoe UI and Kootenay please. Its holding me back from like 3 games and google isnt helping (its probably right in front of me but I dont see it)

Thanks
