1. [REL] 3D Tetris clone
I originally co-wrote this game along with another guy for a school project
earlier this year, using a different language (*cough*c++*cough*). But
seeing how there's a slight shortage in the games-written-in-Euphoria
department i decided to translate the whole thing into Euphoria. Said and
done, here it is:
http://www.cyd.liu.se/~micol972/site/tetrix3-pr.zip
Game features: (More or less) 3D graphics using OpenGL/GLUT, MIDI music,
sound effects (grabbed from the gameboy version of tetris).
This version is intended for Win32 only, but the code is portable (except
for the sound-part) so it would be possible to make a Linux/BSD version in
the future without much effort.
As this is a preview version there are some bugs, e.g. the collision
detection might be a bit dodgy at times. The controls are exactly top notch
either. Unlike the original version this one doesn't have any lighting (yet)
so the pieces look kind of dull. But hey, you get what you pay for : T
Brief instructions on how to play can be found in the readme. Be sure to
always exit the game by pressing Escape and then selecting "Quit" from the
menu - just clicking the window's close-button is not sufficient.
Oh, and there's no source included since the code is such a big mess right
now. But i guess i could include it for future versions.
Let me know if/how the game runs. It works like a charm on my computer, but
I did notice some graphics glitches on another system running NT4 (I'm
guessing that was because of bad OpenGL drivers).
PS. be sure to get at least 15 lines, that's where the fun starts. Up until
that it's just practice ; P

It looks nice, if a bit slow.
Pressing random keys while searching for the 'rotate' button (no, of course I
didn't read the README file) got three different crashes:
- An unassigned variable
- An unassigned callback
- A null address
It runs a bit slow on my 850mhz machine under Win95. Under Linux, Wine crashes
after showing the startup screen.
Hrm... No 'rotate' key mentioned in the readme, either. It would be nice if it
had one.
I like the graphic on the splash screen. Nice work.

Oh? What kind of graphics card do you have? It runs at full speed on a
PII-450 w/ ATI Radeon 7200.

I beg to differ. I'm quoting the readme here:
"How to play
-----------
You move the pieces with the arrow-keys. Z rotates left and X rotates
right." <--- see
