It's been about 3 weeks since I dusted off the Multiplayer Tetris game that me and a buddy wrote A year ago and that's been collecting dust since then.
A lot of after work and weekend hours have been pooring into the project since then, and I think it's about time to show the progress
What's been done:
- Preloading
- Completely rewrote layout for desktop / tablet browsers using css3 :target.
- Usage instructions added
(one of the comments I got: "Yeah, it works, but how do I play?" )
- Sending all powerups to other users now works
(click on another user's playfield to send powerup)
- Game over implemented serverside so a mulitplayer game can end.
- Now works on tablets with touch input.
swipe left/right/down for controls, tap another user's playfield for sending powerup.
Tap the powerups bar to apply to self.
What's todo:
- Fix some last bugs in the tetris engine
( Blocks can still move up in rare cases,
T-Spins don't always work in all directions )
- Global online highscores
- 2 player mode with an direct invite url
- Finishing touches, Package the app, and deploy!
- Phone UI in the works
Please come and play and try to overload my little gameserver. If no users are online don't forget to try a game against yourself by opening 2 browser tabs!
