About Tetra

Tetra is a puzzle game using tetrominoes. A tetromino is a grouping of four blocks, of which there are only 7 distinct combinations. These tetrominos are thrown into the top of a 10x20 grid one at a time and fall to the bottom of the play area. The purpose of the game is to line up 10 in a row, which makes the row disappear. You get more points per row if you eliminate multiple rows at a time. You also get points for landing a tetromino. For every 10 lines you clear you go to the next level where the tetrominoes fall faster and are worth more points. Try to get as many lines and the highest score that you can.

Modes

  • Classic - blocks fall down as normal
  • - UP - blocks fall up
  • Twist - Each line clear causes your view of the play area to be mirrored horizontally

Controls

  • UP - rotates the tetromino currently in play
  • DOWN - moves the piece down
  • LEFT - moves the piece left
  • RIGHT - moves the piece right
  • A, 0 - Hard drop the piece. Automatically drop the piece down as far as it will go
  • ` and . - Switches the current "next block" with the "saved block".
  • ESC, R, W, /, ENTER, SPACE - pause the game and hide it

Note: Holding down a key will continue to move the tetronimo in that direction

Note: The keyboard cannot be used to play wow while the game is visible

    I was playing it fine, closed it and when I reopened it the window was off the screen and I can not pull it back. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.

    I have a suggestion for you:

    * W - rotates the tetromino currently in play
    * S - moves the piece down
    * A - moves the piece left
    * D - moves the piece right
    * Q - Hard drop the piece. Automatically drop the piece down as far as it will go
    * E - Switches the current "next block" with the "saved block".
    * ESC, ENTER, SPACE, R - pause the game and hide it

    I agree with Dorfteichking's suggestion and think that those would be better controls

    To avoid possible copywright issues i'm guessing.

    Although for all his care to avoid saying 'tetris' the screenshot itself is named tetris.PNG

    Its probably a result of the recent changes to the speed of moving the blocks I have made. I'll look into it later today and see if i can recreate the glitch and then I'll fix it. If you have any more detailed information about when it occurs it would help.
    Thank you and cheers,

    Hello, I have added a drop key, "0" or "Z". I have also increased the speed of the tetronimos when you try to move them left or right. Let me know if this improves gameplay or makes it too "Loose".

    Thankyou all for your suggestions and support.

    Cheers

    You might consider taking the default keybinds from tetrisfriends.com and just using those. Any Tetris fan would appreciate having this addon be as close to that version as possible.

    Not having a tetrimino hold button is chaotic and crazy old school, and tetrimino ghosts are a necessity when hard dropping.

    Short version: Try to emulate Tetris Friends as close as possible.

    I really enjoy tetris, even though sometimes it feels a little clumsy (doesnt recognize some keypresses) it is still fun. Its understandable being like that, as you're using a keyboard. One thing I'd like to ask. Would it be possible to have it load hidden? Its a bit of a hassle to keep clicking the X on it when character hopping.

    Interesting addon... but After I installed it, the game started to give me a massage that my addons slow up the game (never happened before... only right after I installed the addon)...

    Also I think this addon will benefit of a map mini button and an in game button that drops the blocks quickly.

    Thanx for the addon.
