So we got a foot of snow today, consequently leading to a snow day.  To pass the time, I decided to add link functionality on to my Tetris game.  It's still in more of a beta stage, with a couple of bugs, but it's 95% complete, I'd say.  Any comments/ suggestions?

Update: I finally have a beta release.
Anybody with multiple calcs willing to test it out please let me know how it runs.

wow looks awsome but i would add a "gui/link set up screen " to show that your linkd before you begin so it is not "iffy if they actually link up or not .....or can u explain how you link the games so that there is no reall wory about "missing the link and it crashing???

One would think that would be an issue, but it works without a hitch each time just so long as you're both in mirage before either of you starts the program.

Looks nice! What's the total program size?

2500'ish, but it changes each time I change something, which is pretty often.

ok then that solves my issue and wow that small does this work with just the io port or does it support usb linking?

I actually don't know.  I've testing with ti83+ emu's, so I know at least the link port.  It uses the tios's standard linking routines, so theoretically it should work for either.

I make no promises

Looks great!  How does the multiplayer work?

That is great.

Me neither... but it would be great because in my school only a teacher has a cable of link port to two calculators...

The best usb docs around for ti calcs is in WikiTI, brandonw site and source code of usb8x, msd8x, etc..
Probably brandonw knows.

Actually,

ZTetris and Ztris also had multiplayers. It was impossible to play from 83+SE to 83+, tho
