IANAL is my favorite acronym

incredible how everytime i look at generic tetromino game code i find something new that's not only broken but so obviously broken that it's impressive that it went undiscovered for so long

luckily all the actual game mechanics seem to work as intended, this is usually stuff with the lua API, but like, still

it's been a while lol, not much new stuff, mostly just bug fixes related to the modding API and also the introduction of some new mods

- added an "automata" mod, which runs a cellular automata everytime you clear a line. currently there's no animation or anything like that, it would be cool to add that though, in addition to the regular line clear animation. it currently only has conway's game of life, which is, not super great for this, since it's so destructive. i think the idea is really cool though, hence my previous toot asking for suggestions for other automata

- added a mod which adds CD-i music into the game. there's multiple modes, ranging from having the music change every level, to changing every 10-20 lines, to not changing at all (either being picked randomly, or picking a specific song). i personally like having it change every 20 lines, since 10 lines is a bit fast. it's pretty nice though :) i said earlier that i wouldn't be able to do this since SDL_mixer can't do crossfading, and, sorry to disappoint, but i didn't write by own mixer lmao. i just have one song completely fade out before the next one starts, which honestly works pretty well. but with this mod, you can now finally play a cursed hybrid between NES, CD-i, TGM, and modern tetris, by enabling CD-i music, enabling TGM tetromino sfx, and setting the rotation style to "guideline" or "hybrid". this is innovation at its best

- 2x_kill_screen has been renamed to super_kill_screen, which is *technically* a breaking change but really it just means that the option will be reset, and i doubt anyone actually has this enabled so this has no effect

also lots of bug fixes like i said, and some additions to the lua API (like allowing music to fade out with game.haltmusic, and allowing setting a callback function to execute once the music halts).

that's all for now, see you in another few months lol

does anyone know of any cellular automata besides conway's game of life that would work well for being run on a tetris board everytime a line is cleared?

comment i just wrote:

-- TODO: what the fuck what the fuck what the actual fuck why what the fuck

context: an assignment later in the function errors out if i don't include a no-op assignment to a completely different object before, i'm trying to debug this and i hope for my own sanity that i'm just stupid and missing something obvious here,

low effort shitpost

since i've been talking about music recently i should probably bring this up:

tetris cd-i has the best music of any tetris game, no competition. it's unique and very chill and nothing that you'd ever expect from a tetris game but it's incredible

i actually can't recommend this enough if you haven't heard it yet

classical music but remixed to sound modern <3
gotta be one of my favorite subgenres of music

i got a new NES tetris PB lol: 699k

generic tetromino game replay: https://sebsite.pw/tmp/1684626252 (needs to be played back on the latest commit)

the entire reason for this high score is i survived much farther past level 19 than i usually do; my level 18 was, kinda meh. like, not awful, but could've been better. either way i was *so* close to 700k but i was getting really excited and stressed out while realizing that this was a new PB that i choked and now have to settle with 699k lol. still pretty happy with it though
