Gotris (v1.0)

An implementation of Tetris in Go following MVC design principles

Description

This is a simple text (and maybe GUI in the future)-based version of Tetris written in Go.

Personal Goals with this Project

• Learn Go
• Implement something that is close to being Tetris with some personal flair
• Use the principles of MVC design to have multiple rendering options for the game. To start with, there will be a simple text debugging mode and then later there will be a fancier text mode and maybe a GUI.
• Have fun
  • (And by "have fun" I mean I'm attempting to use reduce memory overhead by using compact data structures...so I can do some fancy bit twiddling).

Requirements

Go v1.13 is required as it supports binary literals. See this issue on GitHub for more info.

Dependencies

Go lacks a lot of old-school terminal control abilities (clear, getch(), etc) so this project uses a 3rd party, cross platform library used by a number of other text-based Go games, tcell.

To Install:

Automatic

make depend

Manual

go get "github.com/gdamore/tcell"

Build Intstructions

make

Usage

./bin/gotris [render mode]

Where [render mode] is one of these options:

text (Default Mode)

debug

gotris's Issues

Multi-line-clear glitch

There appears to be an issue that when multiple lines are cleared at once, one line remains full on the screen. Probably some off-by-one glitch. This will likely be fixed when the 32-bit-row implementation (full color mode) is complete.
