good luck everyone!
Could have been fun to try, pity I saw it three days after the start. I should visit here more often.

About the copyright issue, I agree that "Tetris clone" is unnecessarily provocative. Making straight clones is not interesting, making interesting games inspired by another is fine, and there are many ways to make games where things are falling down.

unknown, if you want hosting again, and your game (compressed) is less than ~two megs, email me Smile

I'll be uploading my own entry later as soon as I'm back on my own machine Smile

I entered, but the forum was downl on Tuesday night and I've been out of the country with no internet access since then. My entry is at http://www.gerbilmedia.co.uk/SquareRain.app.zip (according to a scribbled note in my bag). (checked the link - it works).
It's still in a sort off beta state - don't press cmd-Q (sorry - I'll fix it - it seems to be a GLFW thing). I think it should work on Intel, but I've got no way to be sure.
I haven't written a help page yet, so briefly, try to arrange the blocks into lines of four the same colour. Longer lines get more points. The bricks are affected by gravity so they don't float around unsupported. The controls should be quite familiar. (Cursor keys, and press space to drop the block faster).
Enjoy.

in emacs:
press the meta key, which is esc on mac, then x (for the buffer).

type in tetris.

a nice distraction from working when you're in emacs.

You've just lowered all my grades a full letter Rasp.

Seriously, that's awesome and I'm glad someone told me about it.

also there is pong, snake, doctor, and probably others I haven't found.
There's also a way to learn how to say hello in an absurd amount of languages, but I've forgotten how to get it.
