Game name: Quatrix
Creator: Extron
Version: Beta
Licence: GPL 3.0
This is my first game created. This game is another Tetris port, since Tetris is a fairly simple game, and it is a great project for beginning programmers. I have tried to make sure that this game runs well, but there are probably still many bugs and things I could fix in it. Please leave comment, and enjoy the game. I would prefer constructive critisism, where you leave your critisism, why you think it is a stupid/wrong/horrible idea, and then offer your own solution. Otherwise, if you are just trying to insult, don't bother commenting. Remember, this is my first game, and I know it isn't the best out there, far from it. Anyway, I am looking forward to using your comments to make this game solid, so look for future releases, with additional features.
Like locke said, this was my first game, and since Tetris is extremely easy to program, it was my choice for a first game. This is more of an experiment to see what it was like to produce and release games, and this is certainly not my only game. I am working on several others right now, so I am looking forward to releasing those.

I am still working on some sweet features for the final Quatrix 1.0, so keep a look out for those. Music is one of them, as well as more customizable stuff, including controls, colors, schemes, and what not.

try and see if you can see the code that itsnotabigtruck did because that really puts the music ability to the full extent.
I like the layout of the actual game, but I feel that the menu could use something more creative or special in it besides just lines. Nice game though and keep it up.

Update:
Not that anyone really cares a whole lot about the next phase of Quatrix, but here is an update on how it is going.
The menus are revamped with a new, more sleek style.
The Media Library add-on is almost complete. Note that the library for this function is still in beta form, so the feature does not have everything programmed into it yet. A final version of the feature will be included in the next version of Snakez.
Improved engine, to eliminate any bugs that have been found in the gameplay.
A multiplier style score, where doing certain combos and feats earns you a multiplier that increases score.
A new visual HUD, mainly used for text displays in Quatrix.
Completely customizable cotrols, as well as customizable color schemes for the blocks.
Finally, storage support, to store high scores, control layouts, and media playlists.
If anyone has anymore suggestions, please post. The next version, which will be the early final version, has a planned release date for the first week of December. I am also working on Multiplayer Quatrix, which will be more like a separate game than this one. My Snakez game will contain the beta multiplayer library, so once I finish that, I will start on Multiplayer Quatrix.
Thanks for all of you who have played Quatrix,
