Another Shameless Plug...

I am working on a version of Javascript Tetris. Yes, I KNOW there are a million versions, but it's still more fascinating to me to make Tetris than to play it.

While I'm at it, here's my Garageband song, Rotate and Drop dedicated to the game.

Good Start. Here is some constructive critisizm if you want it.

1. Use arrow keys and/or WASD, those keys are odd.
2. Space bar drops very slow and is kind of jerky
3. It beeps everytime I press a key

If you need any help use this site - http://idevgames.com , its a good mac programming site/forum

I don't disagree. However, I haven't yet figured out how to get the arrow keys to be noticed, since they are not recognized by onkeypress. I'm sure it's simple enough, but we'll see....

As for the beeping, I'm not sure if there's a way to shut that off or not. Safari seems to beep for all keyboard controls, except keys that might act as a click on a button (like space bar).

As I said, under construction still.

Oh yes, and thanks. I always appreciate constructive criticism. It's the only way to get better.

Ok, I feel like I should answer myself. In IE 6.x, using onkeydown instead onkeypress will "listen" to the arrow keys. I haven't uploaded it to the site yet. However, does anyone know if that is also true for Safari?

looks like it is working.

couple small things that i noticed (as i am addicted to tetris)

-instead of selecting the instant drop, you should make the spacebar be the instant drop and the down arrow be the regular drop
-same shape pieces should always be the same color
-no score????

Awesome work though. I wish I could program.

I keep forgetting to mention that in the help menu.
The score, while this is under construction, is in the title bar. After you drop the first piece, the title bar includes score, # of lines, and your level. Yes, not the most obvious place, but it does exist. I'll be moving it to screen soon. You are the 1,000,000,000,000th person to comment on score. lol
It's there!
