Tetris (tetmatch) is a small tetris clone that is built for the raspberry pi. It provides full controller support and allows more than one player to simultaneously play. It gives each player the exact same pieces in the exact same order so that they may play a fair match againt each other.
SFML (Simple Fast Multimedia Library):
Used for graphical output as well as controller input
Installation for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev
For other operating systems use the 'Getting Started' section of the officials docs.
The Diskopia font:
I do not own this asset, it can be found here.
Without this placed in the correct path the fonts won't load properly.
The absolute path is used so find the definition of DISKOPIAPATH in main.cpp and tetris.cpp and change it to the path of your Diskopia font.
First you need to download the project:
git clone https://github.com/Arithmetic-Overflow/Tetris.git
Next you need to run make twice, from the project directory run the following commands:
make
cd tetrisexe
make
This will build two executables: both are needed for this program.
under the root directory of the project after building run ./tetmatch
This will begin an instance of the game.
In order to actually play this game you will need at least 1 controller. The controls might vary across different input devices, but should be the equivalent of the following on DualShock3 controllers and xbox360 controllers:
A confirm selection
B exit selection
Left (d-pad) decrease selection
Right (d-pad) increase selection
Up (d-pad) change selection
Down (d-pad) change selection
A clockwise rotation
B anticlockwise rotation
Left (d-pad) move your piece left
Right (d-pad) move your piece right
Down (d-pad) drop piece quickly
- There is currently no keyboard/mouse support.
- 'Kicks' (a feature present in tetris) are not implemented
- There is no communication between threads so instances of the game have no knowledge of each other's state
