Hi all, I already succeed make 3DTetris game with tS7.1's JScript. :banana:
With this post I also attach the 3DTetris scene file with 3DTetris JScript game code and 3DTetris record file.
Enjoy the game :)
EDIT1: The early version have some bug while "clear animasi layer" flag is check.
EDIT2: Fix "blocks remains in scene forever" issue by Peterma. And set default drop delay to 150.
Sorry for that bug. You can download a fixed version on below link :)
(ps: thanks to trueBlue for idea to make game control open on truePlay and thanks to SteveBe for 3D record file idea) |

Jonny: Your 3DTetris game is really cool. Amazing bit of scripting there. I have noticed that your control does not open in truePlay. You should set your control to Show automatically from the menu. It opens in Default though. Not sure how you can have open in Control aspect instead.
Thanks for sharing! |

Johny, really cool !
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
I can go to my scripting retirement with ease now, when there are guys like you carring the flag on :)
Just 2 little notes (not sure I tested the latest version)
- default drop delay (50) is too small, I'd suggest at least 200-300
- after the first game one block remains in the scene and remains there forever. |

Peterma: thanks for testing the 3DTetris game and report the bug :)
About default drop value I set it to 150 because 150 is already too slow on my CPU. (My CPU Speed is only 1.5GHz) You can change it later if it's too fast on your CPU ;) |

Terrific work Johny! I played the rcd version on truePlay (it is only 97KB!)and it works very well, how long did the whole process take? More importantly how long would it take you to create second game of similar complexity now that you learned the process?
I found a few glitches, some pieces are left behind after new game is started and on my PC with default delay game is just too fast to play. Could we have speed constant on diferent speed CPU's?
Light and materials could also be a but fancier with some animation effect shown when piece falls into its place. But overal it is very gratifying for me and other TS developers to see such a wonderfull game produced with existing TS7.1 tools. You made my day:) |

Base on TrueBlue idea for change background color on this post (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?p=7625#post7625), I add some code to program D3DGrid color. (look at line:11, 459-462, and 650 for the code) |

Thanks for played and tested my game Roman :)
how long did the whole process take?
I started code this 3DTetris game one day before I posted it on beta forum. But I already think about it concept started from You give me the access to beta space.
More importantly how long would it take you to create second game of similar complexity now that you learned the process?
Dont know, since this is my first game code. I think 85% time waste to researh/trial by error to found how tS7 JScript function work. there're some limitation and very few information about this tS7 JScript function usage. I think if there are more detail explaination on Development Guide, other users will be write some more complex and more better than this 3DTetris. For example until now I don't know how to use "IRdMatrixfDisp::Rotate" function to rotate an object on it's own X axis (I know how to rotate on Y and Z axis but look like X axis need different handle method)
I found a few glitches, some pieces are left behind after new game is started and on my PC with default delay game is just too fast to play. Could we have speed constant on diferent speed CPU's?
Constant speed on different speed CPU is possible. I will researh and try to make it possilbe. It would be better and faster you give me some information about ts7 timer function or GPU refresh rate. And because I only have 1GHz CPU, I will need someone to tested it on faster CPU.
Light and materials could also be a but fancier with some animation effect shown when piece falls into its place. But overal it is very gratifying for me and other TS developers to see such a wonderfull game produced with existing TS7.1 tools. You made my day
Thanks :banana: |

I think if a game like this can be done in TS7 in 1 day and under 100KB we should probably be starting to sell TS7 instead of gameSpace to game designers:) That does not take away from the extraordinary talent you have shown here. Briliant work, I hope to see more stuff like this comming. |

Amazing would be the word. Could this be exported as a flash game? That would be a great feature for making web games. |
