I asked here because I figured I wasn't the only one on this forum that might want to know their options, and that the prevalence of STEM backgrounds and world experiences on here would offer some unique options that wouldn't otherwise be feasible for others.
This worked in 2012 I swear! Oh the shame now however :'(
Thank you! The timing of EVERYTHING was by far the hardest part, as evidenced by your comments, there's something intrinsically familiar about the Tetris (or Breakout or Galaga or etc...) version you are used to. I modeled this one to be closest to the first I played, the 80s GameBoy version.
That said- I've noticed these myself in some form or another. 2 & 3 are related- I need to delay more as the block sits atop a collision. 1 I thought was off but just couldn't justify the time to prove it.
Thanks for the feedback!
I would love to add multiplayer to in someday...
Also, if you haven't read the Kotaku review of "Tetris" (the game in general, not any specific release/platform), it is not only profound but hilarious: https://kotaku.com/tetris-the-kotaku-review-1718328217
> The best-known and best-loved video game ... is not a Skinner box of rewards for players but a bleak encounter with futility ... Tetris ends with certain death. It is a jigsaw puzzle that must be assembled on deadline, yet never can be ... The enemy in Tetris is not some identifiable villain ... but a faceless, ceaseless, reasonless force that threatens constantly to overwhelm you, a churning production of blocks against which your only defense is a repetitive, meaningless sorting. It is bureaucracy in pure form, busywork with no aim or end, impossible to avoid or escape. And the game’s final insult is that it annihilates free will. Despite its obvious futility, somehow we can’t make ourselves stop rotating blocks. Tetris, like all the stupid games it spawned, forces us to choose to punish ourselves.
Except 17. Fencepost error on my part maybe?
And you are right, it was initially marked as "Won't Fix" because it was not immediately reproducible, but further research yielded it being discovered as an "already fixed" dupe.
FYI it seems there is a minimum age (a minute or so) to a comment in order to reply. At least that was my experience last night.
I can say my #1 goal is long term security and stability for her. That might be accomplished by amassing a pile of money here, yes. Looking for alternatives for her to use on her own accord, if she desires.
