Quote from: Shuey"where do we draw the line?"Eleven years ago, I wrote this article on Everything2, which I later adapted into the video "THIS FAN GAME VIDEO WILL BE FLAGGED". Since then, I've been drawing the line at roughly the same point that PetitPrince mentioned, namely the use of the name "Tetris" to refer to products not licensed through TTC. Pepsi is not Coke, GNU's not UNIX, Puffs is not Kleenex (yet Puffs makes your head swell up just like Pop-Tarts), Pine is not Elm, Thwaite is not Missile Command, PNG's not GIF, Canon is not Xerox, and Lockjaw is not Tetris.
Quote from: ParadoxI don't like those names but honestly I like it better than "NullpoMino" which makes no sense at all to the average person.What sense did "Tetris" make to the average person before Nintendo put it on Game Boy?
Quote from: caffeineI had an idea for a game like this.Spawn above it, or below it?
1. Same rules as TF e+.
2. Game starts off with half a field of random garbage.
3. Upon clearing a garbage row, a new one will instantly spawn above it.
Quote from: DarkERockerDepends on whether you're working for the security forces (Team Koopa) or for the terrorists (Team Mario).
Ok I'll see that =)
( a coder must be able to adapt his code for it to work on all bowsers
Quote from: Rosti_LFCI am disappoint at just how few of you can actually read between the lines of the things that are happening on TCIf you're saying Mr. Rogers wants to buy the domain, then why is someone with the same username as you reverting my efforts to bring TC's wiki in line with TC's new policy?
Quote from: DakhathWhat usually works for me is to immerse myself in programming.And then four hours later, you've banged out a Tetris clone. Seriously: once I knew the basic rules of Tetris DS (SRS + Infinity + garbage), Lockjaw 0.01 took me about that long.
