Soviet Bloc Game (C version)

While thinking about ways to make my TRS-80 model I more useable in 2019, I realized that I could not easily find a version of Tetris for it (probably because the TRS-80 came out about 10ish years before Tetris was invented), so I thought I might try to write my own after watching an episode of the 8-bit Guy where David does the same. I used to play the Gameboy version of Tetris all the time on my Ti-nSpire calculator thanks to the nspire hacking scene and an emulator port, so that's the style of Tetris I will try to recreate.

Objectives:

  • Playfield the same size as GB version
  • in color?
  • same or similar scoring system to GB version
  • same rotation style as GB version
  • easily portable to different platforms (that are C like)
  • somewhat documented

This ended up being a sort of 24 hour challenge; I started this project at about 11pm yesterday, and by about the time of this page's creation I had created an Arduino version of Tetris that met most of these objectives.

Theory of Operation

The basics of the game's functioning can be summed up with just a few components: a part that generates the tetrominoe shapes, a playfield that contains already played pieces and open spots where the active piece can move and collision detection that says where the active piece can and can't go.

The playfield size is adjustable, but in the gameboy version it's 10 wide by 18 tall. In my version I added an extra 4 lines on top (which are not to be displayed) for the new pieces to appear within. Within the program, it appears as a big 2D matrix called playfield[][].

Rather than figure out all the complex rotations of the part, I hardcoded them (using the Nintendo rotation system as described at https://tetris.fandom.com/wiki/Nintendo_Rotation_System). The parts appear in a 4x4 piece container pieceC[][] matrix. This is then overlaid onto the playfield, and can be moved around. Nonzero cells of the matrix define the shape of the piece, like:

0 0 0 0
0 5 0 0
5 5 0 0
0 5 0 0

The Code (Arduino version)

uint8_t dropframe=0;    //counter for number of frames between block drops
uint8_t level=0; //LEVEL decreases frame drop from 20 frames to 0 frames (levels 0 to 20)

boolean ngame=0; //when set, starts new game
