I Coded Tetris but there's a Catch...

I managed to code the most bizarre version of Tetris imaginable. A multidirectional Tetris.
In this video I go through my latest coding project, Reverse Tetris. It's Tetris but the catch is that the shapes generate in the middle of the grid and alternate between falling downwards and upwards. I hope you enjoy the video and subscribe if you like this kind of content!

Honestly as long as you don't name it Tetris the Tetris company doesn't really do anything against it. And since it isn't even a perfect Tetris clone in the first place they legally also can't really do much against it.

[@CodeNoodles]

True but I'm not taking the risk.

[@sadface]

@@unsightedmetal6857 Yup we settled this a long time ago; it's fine to make Tetris clones so long as you don't use the Tetris name. You can also make Minecraft clones, GTA clones, etc so long as you call them BlockGame and ShooterGame.

Feature idea: Instead of the classic hold button, have a button that reverses the drop direction of the current piece.

In normal Tetris, you stack blocks upward. In this Tetris, you stack blocks from the bottom up and you heap blocks from the top down. Don't let the heap and stack collide otherwise you will get a StackOverflowError.

[@epsilonthedragon1249]

I had a Tetris clone idea of my own a while back that I wanna make. It's a two-player game where the top player plays Tetris while the bottom player plays Arkanoid. Both play with the same field of blocks, and they can either play competitively in a knockout match or cooperatively for a high score. Since I have some free time, this video has inspired me to try getting on that. Thank you

[@junojun722]

Will you upload updates in your channel when making it?

I play Tetris. A lot of Tetris. My biggest problem with this project? It's 11 tiles wide. q-q

[@CodeNoodles]

Lol. I made it wider cause it felt weird having the grid so tall. Plus it makes the shapes looping around more useful.

[@sinom]

Still no 7 bag randomizer, super rotation system etc. smh

[@ViewoPlays]

It’s highly likely you will succeed a lot in your channel because it’s really well edited and the quality is so professional for a small new KZbinr, not to mention the intuitiveness of the things you choose to do, its really creative! Keep going this is really good quality content!

[@ViewoPlays]

Also don’t worry about having to upload, quality especially when starting out is key because it shows the algorithm that your viewers are really engaged therefore its a good video

[@doodlexd8661]

Can you try to combine Tetris with atari breakout?

[@CodeNoodles]

Cool idea, thanks for sharing!

[@kenb1]

Here are some ideas: * Random direction. Add an indicator so player can know it's next direction and base your play after that. * Four sides. Larger square shaped playing field, and piece can move in 4 directions. This can add some interesting mechanics as you could now also clear vertical lines, not just horisontal.

I’d call it Tetris Flip-Flop due to how the blocks keep on reversing directions personally.

[@maxchambers7326]

If you were to implement more advanced and modern Tetris mechanics like the SRS (super rotation system) and the 7 bag system than that would makes things like openers very interesting For those who are confused The SRS is a rotation system that gives a player the power to rotate pieces into places that would otherwise seem impossible or illogical And the 7 bag system is the piece randomiser and it works like this The pieces that u get upon starting a game are split into these things called bags which have one of each piece in them, in a random order, this has allowed for openings or openers to be made. Some of these include sdpc which stands for single, double, perfect clear Or dt cannon, which is also made possible thanks to the SRS If this makes u wanna learn this stuff, u can but omg there is so much I wouldn’t recommend it - some guy to got good at Tetris

[@rahimuddin8012]

[@CodeNoodles]

Thanks I really appreciate it!

[@KStarPR]

This may be a silly comment since we can't play the game, but I think a couple things that would improve the game's visuals and readability is 1) A gradient moving upwards or downwards to help signify the gravity of the blocks, and 2) A 1-3 column "ghost" of the other edge of the grid, to aid in wrapping blocks around to the other side of the grid. A couple miscellaneous details I considered: 1) Someone else mentioned a button to reverse gravity, I think that'd be a great idea. 2) When I saw the thumbnail of the video, I initially thought the plan was for blocks from the top to fall when a line was cleared. No clue how that'd be implemented though.

[@mraquamoo455]

Yeah Tetris is a registered Trademark, and Intellectual Property. If the game is named anything else, then there would be no grounds to stand on. Especially since your game has features (reverse polarity blocks, and side scrolling) which are not part of regular Tetris games. Any reasonable person would not believe this to be a legitimate Tetris game (in addition to not calling it Tetris)

Here's a horrible idea I had for tetris: Randomizer. My idea is a min/max set of 'blocks'within a 4x4 grid that create the shapes your going to place.

[@Aznaocnk]

Great video as always! Now, what if you could do all four cardinal directions, the grid was a square, and you had to get a line of tiles all the way around for a line to clear?
