Altered Tetri


Java Tetri

Click on one of the games below to run Java program (mostly by David Bagley (help in conversion to Java by Sarat Chandran)). A few updates recently on getting the look better including a frame around field. The X Manual Pages are written for the X versions but may be useful to understanding the Java programs.

Static Scales Choose Source Code X Manual Page
Tetris (Not Scalable) Tetris Tetris (Scaling Conditional) tetris.zip tetris
Tertris (Not Scalable) Tertris Tertris (Scaling Conditional) tertris.zip tertris
Hextris (Not Scalable) Hextris Hextris (Scaling Conditional) hextris.zip hextris
Welltris (Not Scalable) Welltris Welltris (Scaling Conditional) welltris.zip welltris

Try the New scaling version. The scaling version includes some JavaScript and also uses cookies to keep track of score. This code handles resizing, which may be browser dependent. If game is not visible try resizing window. Resize works better when game is run as an application.

See project notes for todo list and history. Please let me know if I left out anything.

The background icon is not random... its was found with the help of Stephen Montgomery-Smith's polyomino search program. There are 2 sets of all the seven quadrominos in an 8 by 8 square where the holes are in an 8 queens arrangement. Except for the square quadromino, all quadrominos are in a different orientation and not touching a similar quadromino, even if tiled. Also the holes do not touch each other diagonally, if tiled. The intent is to show the worst game, where each line almost filled.
