Some issues with rotating but this version is very playable. Also FieserWolf's tracks rule.

This seems nice. but i will provide info for proper gameplay.

1) pieces other then i rotate on the left side of the bounding box.
2) If rotation fails because it would overlap, the piece will be tested one square to the left in the same orientation, and if that works the piece will rotate to there.

Please see tetrisconcept wiki.

Wow, I love this piece of code! A proper tetris conversion was badly needed. Though, since I love it so much I think it would be great to fix some bugs. Here are the ones I suggest to take care of:

- comparing to the original arcade, some pieces rotate on the wrong pivot block (check for example how the T shaped block behaves)
- pieces can't be rotated when pushing on the side of the "pit" (eg. try to keep pushing on one side, and when you reach the side border you can't rotate anymore)
- it seems that on the advanced levels pushing down doesn't really accelerate the drop
- after a few levels (eg, after 6) pieces don't seem random anymore. Perhaps the randomizer should be checked
- why not staying with the original colour instead of a black piece? :)

I hope my little list is useful if the author has the motivation to look into the code again

Thank you!!

Thanks for the nice words and all the constructive criticism! I'm happy that some code written when I was a kid, got such a high rating. :) With regard to the font I preferred to use the Commodore one because it's so similar to the one originally used by Atari. With regard to being unable to rotate the pieces while pulling down, I was so used to it that I didn't actually realize. Now that you mention it, it bothers me as well. It's in my plans to fix this and also add a high saver. But the next release has precedence on this stuff. ;)

Nice version. I would have liked some mad extras, but yes: finally a playable tetris on the C64 for 2 players.

Even if made in a hurry the tunes are a perfect match to gameplay and optics. Regarding the game: good one, still doesn't beat DuoTris for me. But you have the arcade level-design, which is very nice.

You can not rotate the pieces while accelerating the speed. This feels so wrong and therefore this version of Tetris is absolutely nothing for me. Sorry!

Really nice version of Tetris, great playability, it just feels "right". Graphics could use a bit of polishing (at least a different font) and highscore saver is IMO a must for this kind of game.
