Even Tetris can have bugs

Posted on May 24, 2008, under Gottet

Tetris is such a simple game, it should be easy to make! And it is. It’s also quite easy to overlook a few things. I fixed two issues (pieces would stick to the left edge if you rotated them there, and at 225 lines the pieces jumped to an insane fall speed) and made a small performance tweak: it now caches the tile images for the board.

I’m actually amazed by how popular Gottet is, considering the abundance of Tetris clones available. I wasn’t expecting there to be any downloads at all, to be honest. Shows what I know!
