well first, english is not my first language, so sorry for the mistakes. as the subject says, this is my first video game it was written almost completely from scratch, i only took (and modified) the fonts functions from the nehe base code... and the timer ;) i based my programming in: - lesson 21, - the matrix forum based tutorial how to make a chess (this one is very recent, and by the way, i could never make it run :( ) - quake 1 & 2 source code - Introduction to Ogg Vorbis article, by TangentZ (http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article2031.asp) - the red book im still a newbie, but i think im growing, if you are newbie too, i strongly suggest you to read this article http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/makegames/ you can download the game from here: http://meganuke.no-ip.com its a geocities hosted page, so if it doest work you should try later i dont know how many copyrights i am violating, i just hope nobody sues me ;) well, play the game and tell me what you think, its freeware. bye MEGANUKE *edit: oh i almost forgot, you need openal installed in your pc, in order to run the game, and, i did not add too much error checking (cause im lazy), so, if you dont have openal, the game just wont run. **edit: how do i manage to forget everything? the game is a tetris clone, i called "Triste" (the spanish word for "sad")

Not bad, not bad at all

A few glitches though...there were SEVERAL occasions where I had filled up an entire row and the game did not register the row as needing to be destroyed. It made it a little frustrating.

if you want to avoid copyright issues, try some guilt-free music for your games. Use music under a creative commons license! go to http://www.creativecommons.org/ for more info.

I bet a second version would be very neat. Also, an english version would be neat to. Try libiconv to aide in that.
