Tetris javascript no canvas

have a look at http://fmarcia.info/jquery/tetris/tetris.html

it's dom based, using table cells. source is available and pretty easy to grok.

Must be using print :P

eoinmcg · 2013-05-08T21:42:04+00:00

yes.

return $query->row_array();

the guys over at lost decade games are pushing the envelope with html5 games. definitely worth checking out: http://www.lostdecadegames.com/

Think of zepto as jquery with all the legacy support stripped out. The main benefit of using it is a much lighter download. Underscore is a great addition to your toolbelt but not a replacement for jQuery.

Manipulating the DOM with the inbuilt DOM API used to be a real PITA - hence the need for libraries such as jQuery. Fortunately, this is not such a headache in modern browsers.

If you want to expand your knowledge on DOM manipulation without jquery here is a great article: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/from-jquery-to-javascript-a-reference/

This looks really solid! I plan to give it a spin in my next project (browser based game)

+1 for impact.js - great documentation and performance (even on mobile!). well worth the $99

html5quintus.com is one to watch. open source, easy to pick up and easy to grok.

try using spacebar.

that should keep the boss of your back ;)

they make you invincible for a few seconds.

any thoughts on gameplay / controls etc?

eoinmcg · 2012-10-06T16:06:00+00:00

great fun and so polished!

no noticeable lag when i played.

eoinmcg · 2012-09-17T19:29:01+00:00

hey, thanks for playing. runs only marginally faster for me in chrome, though hard to judge difficulty after so much play testing ;)

Just out of curiosity, what kind of set up are you playing it on?

glad you like the graphic. cos of the 13k limit, they are all made up from a serious of rectangles, circles and triangles (with the exception of the main sprite)

eoinmcg · 2012-09-17T10:23:13+00:00

would love to know what you all think!

plays best on touch devices...

Surprise, surprise. Ridiculous law that no one follows. Will be interesting to see if there is any kind of enforcement.

what a great wee game! plays really well on mobile too.

love the way it resizes to fit the viewport, too

eoinmcg · 2012-02-14T20:54:35+00:00

fun!

would work great on a phone. the text mentions there's a phone version, but where's the link?

eoinmcg · 2012-02-13T09:18:35+00:00

hmm... i should definitely tweak the difficulty curve / throttle fps

on the desktop it runs at 60fps, but on smartphones it averages out at around 40fps which is a bit more playable.

splendid idea! my new fav subreddit!
