Tetrismus

[wolf_m]

Hi!

I've programmed a simple Tetris clone called Tetrismus. There's no multiplayer support, but apart from that, it's pretty much a complete game.

You can get the game along with the source code here.

Comments welcome!

Thanks to the LWJGL programmers for making this possible

[Matzon]

works as advertised
- quick comments:
- some boxing around some of the text, perhaps some texture offset issue
- too slow to play, should be faster and not as ... time-step like as it is now
- colored pieces (important)

thats it - off to work

[wolf_m]

You can adjust the starting speed and the key recognition speed in the options menu. Besides, there's a death mode, try it
About the texture offset issue: I'm aware of that, I'll fix it.
Colored pieces: I'm considering it. It should be pretty simple.

I have Windows XP Pro - ATI Radeon X600

I looked at the source code. The only thing I found is the scratch buffer is not Flip()ed (I'm pretty sure it has to be in this case). Why no one else is seeing this, I don't know... So maybe that's not the problem  

[wolf_m]

You're actually not the only one having this problem. Another ATI guy has precisely the same issue with this game. I'd love to fix this issue, unfortunately, I don't have a configuration in which the game crashes that way.

The only thing I found is the scratch buffer is not Flip()ed (I'm pretty sure it has to be in this case).

Could you elaborate on that? I don't have a clue what you're trying to say. If it's some necessary OpenGL operation and I let it out because of my silliness, it could be the problem, I guess.

Another thing: Some people report issues with OpenAL.
1. The native library for linux seems to crash under Gentoo. It crashes when the ogg-files are buffered into pcm buffers for OpenAL. Any input?
2. OpenAL error: Invalid Value (40963) -- as far as I have understood, this error occurs when someone's sound card doesn't support the number of sources I adjusted. How should I deal with that? I don't have any idea that doesn't force me to reload the data into buffers -_-

[wolf_m]

I have fixed the OpenAL error 40963 issues; I did it the way I described before.
And I fixed the background pic size to a power of 2, that seems to be necessary for some graphics card drivers' OpenGL implementations.
Numerous people complained about the font not being readable in the main menu, so I made a new font.

All of this is in release 0.54 and above, so everybody who has had problems running Tetrismus should consider downloading the newest release

Thanks for your input!

[wolf_m]

Yay, triple post! Sorry for that.

I've fixed some bugs again.

Unfortunately, some ATI users report that the application is just black on their setup. Example:

It works fine on just about any other graphics card type. Some Dell users with integrated Intel chipset report the same problem though. Can anyone help me with that?

[darkprophet]

your not cleaing depth, but instead, clearing stencil which you dont use.

in GraphicsProcessor.java#pointBg() replace GL11.GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT with GL11.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT

DP

[wolf_m]

Thanks darkprophet! I hope this is fixed once and for all now

Release 0.6 is on the sourceforge servers with coloured pieces and new backgrounds, check it out!

Release 0.61 fixes the annoyances with the keys, but you have to press enter in the menu to confirm choices now because space doesn't work anymore.

They had to load the modules snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss because OpenAL wanted /dev/dsp before.

I've set up ALSA on my system and the same error occurs. What's going on there? Doesn't OpenAL work with ALSA? How should I deal with that?

I've tried to compile the newest libopenal.so from OpenAL's subversion server, but the problem remained. I've also tried to replace libopenal.so with the one from Tribal Trouble, without an effect.

I'm using lwjgl 1.0beta2, upgrading to beta3 resulted in other strange errors :/

[Fool Running]

Well, whatever you did, the game is working now for me
All the graphics work fine (no back screen or anything).

[darkprophet]

should I add to the "techSupport" counter?

Meh, techSupport++;

DP

[wolf_m]

Well, whatever you did, the game is working now for me

Great! Happy to hear that!

techSupport++;

Oh man, I hate it when I'm screwed.. I don't have the slightest clue how to solve this ALSA+libopenal.so problem (if that's the cause, after all).

[darkprophet]

try downloading Tribal Trouble and using their openal.dll/so, i think it uses OSS too...

DP

[wolf_m]

I've already done that, same error.
