Hi Guys,
I'd like to understand how Tetris works.
I came up a little short looking for C or BASIC code I could read,
but If I got a Human explanation, I think I could code it.

One thing I have trouble with is how the blocks are stored,
and how they are rotated.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Art.

Wow!!! I absolutely have to build that someday. Love tetris. Plus I'm Russian.

Do you have to use microcontrollers, what if I wanted to do it as a finite state machine using an fpga? Probably harder eh?

 

I just released hardware and code. It's in the projects collection area of this forum
I've never worked with an FPGA.
