Start with
Tetris
.
Standardize the
tetramino colors
.
Port it to the
Nintendo 64
. Unlike older console systems (
NES
,
Sega Genesis
, etc.), N64 frees graphics from a rigid grid by allowing easy access to the
framebuffer
, allowing for rich backgrounds (created by a highly paid art staff) and for scaling the playfields down so as to fit four players on screen simultaneously.
Drastically reduce the score for making a tetris. single: 1 point; double: 2 points; triple: 3 points; tetris: 5 points
Four whole pieces (no partial pieces after clearing a line) arranged to make a 4x4 square will make a solid square that is worth five bonus points per row when cleared (ten if all four pieces were the same shape). To take advantage of this rule, see
four-column Tetris strategy
.
Increase the number of visible
next piece
s from 1 to 3 and add a reserve piece that can be swapped with the falling piece (but not repeatedly).
Have your lawyers sue everybody who clones Tetris
.
Test, debug, test, debug, get
Nintendo
's approval, and release it as "The New Tetris."
Most glaring
bug
s in TNT
Floating blocks
can remain after a row is cleared, but this bug is also present in most other versions of the game.
When trying to slide a piece in like this:
_______ |_______| _____ | |___ <- |___ | |_____|_ |_| |_______|
the subpixel physics engine will not allow the piece to slide in two or more blocks' width. (Tetris clones without subpixel motion do not suffer from this; neither does the physics engine in
Vitamins
, my
Dr.M
clone, which is based on
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
's behavior; Vitamins allows a slight overlap between the top of the falling piece and the bottom of the piece under which it is sliding.)
