Project: grzetris

A few months ago, I started making a *tris-like game, which I've, unfortunately, left dormant for a while. I've finally picked it up again, and want to share grzetris with you!

grzetris is my take on a *tris-like game, written with ncurses in C++, and published under a GNU GPL v3 (and above) license. It should work on your favourite flavour of Linux, and MacOS.

It's currently a bit bare-bones, and has a few issues, such as not actually having an end state, but I'm happy to say, however, that it's now at a level where you can play with it.

That said, it does have the following:

  • Randomised pieces
  • Line clearing
  • Full geometric rotation
  • Next piece preview
  • Quick drop

Apart from fixing the issue mentioned earlier, I do have a few features planned:

  • Scoring system
  • Leaderboard
  • Storing pieces
  • Levels
  • Customisable controls
  • A really cool menu screen

If you want to want to have an early look at grzetris, it's now available on my GitHub!

That's it for this post, thank you for reading!
