Project: grzetris

A few months ago, I started making a *tris-like game, which I've, unfortunately, left dormant for a while. I've finally picked it up again, and want to share grzetris with you!

grzetris is my take on a *tris-like game, written with ncurses in C++, and published under a GNU GPL v3 (and above) license. It should work on your favourite flavour of Linux, and MacOS.

It's currently a bit bare-bones, and has a few issues, such as not actually having an end state, but I'm happy to say, however, that it's now at a level where you can play with it.

That said, it does have the following:

  • Randomised pieces
  • Line clearing
  • Full geometric rotation
  • Next piece preview
  • Quick drop

Apart from fixing the issue mentioned earlier, I do have a few features planned:

  • Scoring system
  • Leaderboard
  • Storing pieces
  • Levels
  • Customisable controls
  • A really cool menu screen™

If you want to want to have an early look at grzetris, it's now available on my GitHub!

That's it for this post, thank you for reading!
