Axe Tetris

Wait, before you start reading play this in the background.

I noticed that Tetris hasn't yet been made in Axe (as far as I know- correct me if I'm wrong), so I decided to make it. The game really is pretty much done, but I'm considering adding in a high-score feature. I can share the source code if anybody wants it, but it really isn't that great. Oh, and it runs in 6mhz mode.


Comments? Things I can change/improve on in it?

Nice!  I may actually want the source code, and may give it back to you with a nice surprise ;) I have a version of Tetris in progress on my calc, and I have an idea for this one...

Looks pretty cool, but i think the score goes up too fast. Is the score only 2-bytes? because that would be a problem, on ztris i got a score of 40k, so on yours that would loop multiple times.

Source code is below. I can elaborate on it if it's a bit confusing.

Yes, the score is a 16-bit variable. I was a bit surprised though by the fact that you said the score went up too fast, though. It goes up way slower than in the original Tetris. To safeguard against the score from resetting for the time being, however, I made it stop increasing the score after it got bigger than 64000 and just made it say "Max".

whoa, this is nice. how are you implementing your score system when you clear a line of blocks? you may want to look at this
The scoring is different from in the original Tetris, I can guarantee that. I did this, as previously mentioned, to prevent the score from increasing as rapidly as in the original. I would've used Calc84maniac's 32 bit addition/subtraction routine, but I don't know how I would display 32 bit numbers with the existing text routines.

This is a great version of Tetris.  Excellent job! ;D

I think these need to be added:
[Mode] - Pause/Unpause the game
[Up] - Same as [2nd]
[Alpha] - Quick Drop (Like down was held)

Maybe add music?  That way you don't have to listen to it from youtube, you can just plug in headphones.  Nice game by the way :)

Done.  Both files must be on your calculator.

That's awesome!
Just wondering- did you put it into full mode for the music?

No.  Still runs at 6 MHz.

So there would be essentially no slowdown at all if it were in 15Mhz mode! I'm just wondering though, could you post the source for the mod? I'll give you credit for this if I upload it to ticalc.
