Techmino is an open-source multi-platform stacker game made with LÖVE engine developed by 26F Studio. It features a plethora of single-player modes, extensive customizability, and a powerful default rotation system (Techmino Rotation System) which is an extension of SRS.

Gameplay

Techmino's gameplay is mostly inspired by modern fan-games, such as Jstris, TETR.IO, Cultris II, Worldwide Combos, King of Stackers, etc.

Thus it has many convenient features which may or may not slightly differ from guideline Tetris games.

Movement

Techmino features configurable DAS (in range between 0 and 20 frames) and ARR (in range between 0 and 15 frames), as well as Soft Drop rate. Soft Drop can also have its DAS and ARR configured: Soft Drop DAS between 0 and 10 frames, and Soft Drop ARR between 0 and 4 frames.

DAS cut can be enabled to pause DAS between pieces, in order for DAS to not take immediate effect on the next piece. It can be configured between 0 and 20 frames.

Auto-lock cut prevents hard-dropping pieces after a certain amount of time since the automatic lockdown of the piece. It can be configured between 0 and 10 frames.

Controls

Techmino can be controlled with keyboards, controllers or even touch screens with customizable virtual buttons.

Alongside standard movement buttons featured in many stacker games (such as Move Left/Right, Rotate Left/Right/180, Hard Drop, Soft Drop, Hold), Techmino also features additional advanced control buttons which can be bound by the player:

• Instant Left
• Instant Right
• Sonic Drop
• Down 1
• Down 4
• Down 10
• Left Drop: Moves the piece all the way to the left and hard-drops it.
• Right Drop: Moves the piece all the way to the left and hard-drops it.
• Left Zangi: Moves the piece all the way to the left, instantly soft-drops it, then moves the piece all the way to the right and hard-drops it.
• Right Zangi: Moves the piece all the way to the right, instantly soft-drops it, then moves the piece all the way to the left and hard-drops it.

Initial Actions

Techmino features 4 inital actions, 3 of which can be toggled. Every initial action can prevent a Block Out.

• Initial Rotation - if the rotation button is pressed during the entry delay and held until the piece spawns, the piece will spawn rotated. Initial Rotation can perform wallkicks if necessary, skipping all kicks that would kick the piece upwards.
• Initial Hold - if the Hold button is pressed during the entry delay and held until the piece spawns, the next piece will be immediately swapped with the Hold piece.
• Initial Movement - if DAS is charged during the entry delay, the next piece will spawn 1 cell offset from the usual spawn position. This greatly increases mobility in 20G.
• Initial Hard Drop - if the Hard Drop button is pressed during the entry delay and held until the piece spawns, the next piece will be immediately hard dropped. This initial action can't be toggled off.

Spins

Techmino features all-spin - every piece in the game can benefit from the spin bonus.

Techmino features both 4-point (for S,Z,L,J,T pieces) and immobile spin detection. To deduce whether the move will be a spin, Techmino uses a point system.

• If the spin satisfies the 4-point condition (if applicable), the spin is detected, and 2 points are added for the spin.
• If the spin is immobile, the spin is detected, and 2 points are added for the spin.
• If the spin does not use the second test in the kick table, 1 point is added for the spin.

The spin is Mini if all of below conditions are satisfied:

• if the piece being rotated is S,Z,L,J or T,
• the spin only accumulated 2 points,
• the line clear does not clear the whole piece,
• the line clear is a Single or a Double.

Otherwise, it's a full spin.

Perfect Clears

First Perfect Clear of the game sends 8 lines. The attack power of Perfect Clears increases by 2 with each additional PC performed in the game, up to 16 lines sent per PC.

Half Perfect Clears

Half Perfect Clears are detected when:

• there are no minoes above the line clear,
• the whole piece is cleared,
• if performed on a player-made stack, the line clear is at least a Double.

Half Perfect Clears add additional 4 lines of attack and 1 line of additional blocking on top of the performed attack.

Piece Customization

Colors of the 7 tetrominoes, as well as their initial orientations can be modified. Techmino also features many block skins to choose from.

Back-to-Back

Techmino features a peculiar B2B system.

To the left of the board, a B2B gauge can be seen, which charge can be between 0 (empty) to 1000 (full). Difficult clears with B2B gauge charge above 50 will be considered as B2B. If the B2B gauge is above 800, it will turn blue. Difficult clears with B2B gauge above 800 will be considered as B2B2B (or B3B).

Actions affecting B2B Gauge

Action	B2B Gauge change
Spin Zero (unless B2B is above 800)	+20
Spin Single	+50
Spin Double	+100
Spin Triple	+180
Spin Techrash	+800
Spin Pentacrash and above	+1000
Techrash	+150
Pentacrash	+200
Hexacrash	+250
Perfect Clear (when more than 4 lines are cleared)	+800
Half Perfect Clear	+100
Non-difficult line clear	-250
Placing a piece that doesn't clear lines (when B2B is above 800)	-40

Other

Techmino features:

• A spawn preview, displaying opaque X's at the position where the next piece spawns, and translucent X's at the position where the Hold piece would spawn.
• Scrollable camera, that scrolls up to show the stack above row 20, if necessary.
• No Lock Out (pieces can be freely stacked above the skyline) nor Garbage Out.
