Altered Tetri
Java Tetri
Click on one of the games below to
run Java program (written mostly by David Bagley). 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. You can download the jar file
(preserve the extension), and then it can be run as an application
by prefixing the jar file name with "java -jar ".

Cookies are used for keeping track of score.
The delay for loading scores is intentional because if done at initialization,
javascript seems to cause certain browsers to deadlock or crash.
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.
