Very cool uses of HTML5 Canvas. Love Torus "Cylindrical Tetris"
- dca 17y agoThats one of the more innovative Tetris oriented games I've seen in a few years. I was surprised how smooth it works in the browser, even though I've seen a few of the other cool things folks are doing with HTML5 these days. Good stuff.
- justinph 17y agoVery cool. Was just playing this and my wife walked in and said "Cool, I want to play that!". >>>As an aside, I love that this isn't flash, but it makes my CPU & fans go just as nuts as if it was.
- davidmurphy 17y agoNot only is it impressive technically, but the circular Tetris game is extremely fun and well executed!
- samdk 17y agoAll of these feel a lot more native than Flash ever has.
- koanarc 17y agoWow. There have been a lot of cool canvas demos to date, and these are certainly on that list. I am stoked for the future of the internet, guys. Stoked as the dickens.
- Batsu 17y agoOther than the few non-standard pieces (At one point, I had a C shaped block, and another an L made of 3 pieces), love it. Nicely done.
- TrevorBurnham 17y agoTrue; if pieces consist of 3-5 blocks, then it's not Tetris. It's Tri/Tetra/Penta-is.
- trafficlight 17y agoI never put that together until just now.
- peregrine 17y agoNot to be a buzz kill or anything or take away from the technical neatness of it but... this has been around on Opera as a widget for a long time. 2006 was when he got the first comment on the widget. http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4196/1.2/6/#comments-begin http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4196/1.2/6/#comments-begin
- koanarc 17y agoYeah, but...who uses Opera? ...I kid, I kid! In all seriousness, though, a widget on a browser with a chronic ~2% usage share is one thing. The exact same thing available on any standards-compliant browser is quite another, wouldn't you say?
- peregrine 17y agoI completely agree, just stating some facts about it. :)
- senki 17y agoCreated by the same guy, Ben Joffe from Opera Software.
- chaosmachine 17y agoI knew I had seen this on HN before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=514838 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=514838
- nirmal 17y agoOops. 400 days ago I was in a hole studying for my qualifying exams. :) I had blocked out HN in my hosts file.
- bsergean 17y ago1871 points. I'm not dead yet (and I got bored after a while, just managed to go back to the ground floor). Last time I was good at tetris was on the Game boy, which is ... old.
- DCoder 17y agoI tried Tetris ... 11k points later I realised that 25 minutes had gone by. Addictive, and very well done from both technical and gameplay perspective!
