Hi all, here is a first alpha version of my upcoming tetris example for parrot. It is a good demonstration that parrot is already very powerful. It uses a semi-object orientated style, I will modify it to use parrot objects as soon as they are working.
Just unpack the attached tgz file into you parrot root, it contains the following files: tetris.pbc - hopefully an "instant tetris" ;-) examples/sdl/tetris.imc examples/sdl/tetris/app.imc examples/sdl/tetris/block.imc examples/sdl/tetris/blockdata.imc examples/sdl/tetris/board.imc examples/sdl/tetris/boarddata.imc examples/sdl/tetris/debug.imc examples/sdl/tetris/keyboard.imc examples/sdl/tetris/misc.imc You need the latest CVS version of parrot, as well as the outstanding patches for: library/sdl_types.imc and library/sdl.imc Assembling the sources to a single tetris.pasm seems to not work, "parrot tetris.pasm" then quits with error:imcc:Label '@pcc_sub_call_86' already defined in file 'tetris.pasm' line 1330 Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug? back to tetris: It is playable, you can use you left/right keys to move the block, up/down rotates it. Pressing space will let the block fall down fast (not yet animated). Q and escape quits the game, N starts a new game. some other remarks: - the "1" - "7" keys select a specific block (debug aid), - rotating a block near the left and right border is still a bit buggy - I started to implement a draw optimisation, but its disabled at the moment; everything is redrawn every frame which consumes more CPU time than necessary. - there is no "end of game" detection yet Comments welcome :-) Have fun, jens
