@ KevinMos3: I’ve figured out a way to make it so it locks slower. Try it out and see if you guys like this change or not.

2600Tris (06-12-2009) (A2600 Game)

atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known russian block game. The game was previously known as “Tetris”.

Release notes:

Thanks for the suggestions. I fixed the code a little pertaining to movement. The block can now flip while moving left and right, but still can’t flip when moving left+down or right+down. I don’t know why this is. As for the locking too fast, I don’t know if I’m able to do something about this. The way the code is now, it moves down, and if there is playfield below it, it waits for the speed movement variable to pass the timer variable and then goes to the line detecting sequence. Hope this helps, and if not, tell me so I can fiddle around with the code some more.

Release notes:

OK, I got the music working good now. left difficulty A turns it on while left difficulty B turns it off. In two-player mode, music is automatically off since I need AUD1 for player 2’s sfx. Thanks, RevEng!

Duck Attack v0.09 (A2600 Game)

Duck Attack’s premise is simple: Collect radioactive duck eggs for points while avoiding giant, mutant and fire-breathing ducks.

Changes:

v0.09 is attached – the major change to this version is a new “Continue” feature. If you reach level 6 or higher before running out of lives, you can continue the next game at the same level (with score reset to zero) by pressing the fire button before the timer runs out.

Release notes:

I’ve tried to add music. You can switch it on and off with the left difficulty switch. There is a little problem, though. When a block hits bottom, the note changes from what it’s supposed to be to a random note. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note:

Idea realized:
Title screen: the idea of spelling out 2600tris with the blocks is cool… but how about having them all fall into place from above? Maybe rotating on the way down?

Release notes:

If you got 100 or more lines in the previous version, the scanline count jumped to 274 before the secret scene. This fixes that problem.

Release notes:

Here is the latest version. I tested the cycles count and all is well. I tried to make it so when you press the fire button longer, the longer it takes to flip the shape. This should help with the problem sandmountainslim described.

Added some SFX. When a line clears. Also, in 1-player mode, once the level changes, the little song from the GB version of Tetris will play. Please please please test this on real hardware, someone!
