Homebrew Tetris3DS

[UltiNaruto]

EDIT (28/02/2016) : The project is now discontinued! I'm working on a new project. I will give you details about this new project later.

Tetris 3DS

I ported this SDL game (http://www.aaroncox.net/tutorials/arcade/FallingBlocks.html) to 3DS. I had to change background because it wouldn't fit with 3DS. There's still lots to do though.

It has 99 levels and speed increase quite fast after level 6.

That's my first homebrew games for 3DS and I'll try to do more in the future.

Keys

DPad UP - Rotate block clockwise
L Trigger - Rotate block reverted clockwise
R Trigger - Rotate block clockwise
DPad DOWN - Move block down faster
DPad LEFT/RIGHT - Move block to the left/right
A Button - Instantly drop down the block
Start - Exit to HB Launcher
Select - Pause the game

v0.1a (OLD) :

v0.305b :

Known bugs :

• Image is wrongly rotated (90° clockwise)
• Colors doesn't match the PNGs attached in gfx folder

Nice Job!

I'm not sure since I've never done any C++, even less for 3DS, but I think you can solve the color bug converting your .pngs to .bins with this tool. This happens because the 3DS reads images in BGR color instead of RGB so it gets messed up.

You can simply switch R and B channels (some decoders like lodepng can also do this by theirselves).

Thanks for the tool. I'll try now.

Nice Job!

Thanks.

Well it's easier than reconverting PNGs

EDIT:
sounds like imgur.com killed my screenshot ...
I will host it on my personal website...

EDIT2:
It was a bug...

Cool, can't wait, but rotation is something I'm hoping for if you get the time :3

 

[UltiNaruto]

ah forgot to tell the keys grr xD

Well shit Maybe you should try not rotating the image 90º like that program does, so use @Rinnegatamante 's method, or delete the line that does that in the JavaScript app and try again.

 

[UltiNaruto]

I didn't rotate it
There's a box to uncheck in the script

I tried @Rinnegatamente 's method but it freezes.
Guess I'll stick with those colors for now until I find another way.

Then maybe you should have rotated?

Since I can't code to save my life why don't you put this on the bottom screen

 

[HaloEffect17]

Well done, sir!

At first I wanted to use fonts on background.png but sftdlib doesn't want to compile due to unknown errors and I don't know any other viable ways to draw text on images using ctrulib. Still glad that I don't have to use sf2dlib and sfillib which are far from being optimized. Though they are very good they lack of performance.

Nice job with adding a pause button and the highscores

Just gotta fix the Exit button bug, and maybe change the rotate button to R and L?

Edit: Restarted N3DS running 10.0, getting an error whenever I start it up now, perhaps a problem with calling the highscores file?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Ok, so you can fix the problem by deleting the high scores file, but it comes back after you restart.

 

[UltiNaruto]

Yeah because of blank line. I will have to fix this when I'll be back home.

You can fix this by removing the last line in highScores.bin.

Edit: For the rotation buttons I'll add the L and R buttons but I'll keep the Dpad UP button for default rotation.

Thanks, I'll do it when I get the chance.
