Quantro is a falling tetromino puzzle game for Android. Originally released in 2012, it is now available under an open-source software license.

All game modes are available in single-player and WiFi / Internet multiplayer (Internet multiplayer is experimental and not actively supported; availability is not guaranteed).
This version is completely free and includes all premium features from previous releases.
- Internet: so you can play online.
- Access Wifi State / Network State: for multiplayer.
- Wake Lock: so you don't get disconnected from a multiplayer game or lobby.
- Android Beam (NFC): to invite players directly into a multiplayer lobby

I worked on Quantro from 2011 to 2013 to teach myself game design and Android app development; it was released on Google Play in 2012 but was removed in 2014, after I had moved to other projects and ceased active development and support.
In 2021 I returned to the code base, updating Quantro to run on modern Android OS versions and cleaning the project up a little for open source release. Other than these changes it's basically the same code I wrote ten years ago. In other words, it does not follow modern Android development conventions, nor match the code style and design patterns I'd use today. Updating the project to compile and run on modern Android systems has also introduced bugs and bottlenecks that may not have occurred in the original release. In short, this project should be viewed as an artifact from an inexperienced developer learning the ropes -- not a representative example of modern Android app development.
Thanks, and have fun!
