Description
You can call this whatever you think this is. I am careful enough not to use a trademarked name for that.

Use your cursor keys to navigate through the menu (up and down to select the game mode, right to actually start the game, left to go back). Once you are in game, left and right move the pieces, down drops the piece, up turns it. You need to click anywhere into the Flash first, before it'll be able to see any keys you press!

Anyhow!

I wanted to make a solid implementation of this kind of game a while ago, and this is what I ended up with. It has a no-frills game mode where you can just complete line after line until you reach the top, as well as several challenge modes that should, well, pose a challenge. These modes can actually be won, such as by completing a certain number of lines, or by removing all the star blocks in the field. Also, play the game during night time, and on new years, and see what happens.

Instead of letting this sit on my hard disk, I figured I share it for anyone who would like to try - and build up on it. Meaning, you can obtain the source code (Flash CS3) from my scrapbook, and either make your own derivative game, or learn from it: [link] . I tried to keep it somewhat documented, at least. ^^

Now: In case you make your own game and reuse code, or graphics from this game: That is all fine, however please credit me, with a link back. If you consider taking part of the code, I probably saved you a ton of work and time, so it's only fair.

To colour the different pieces, I am using code from Mario Klingemann , which he published under the MIT License. Credits are in-game.
Everything else is copyright myself. Use permitted based on CC-NC-BY.

Sound is missing, since I listen to my music all the time anyway. If you want sound, however, you can add some.
Times and results are stored on your computer. I don't use a highscore list, because these things are extremely easy to bypass - especially if I am giving you the code.

In any case, enjoy!
