[FUN] Tetris - Addiction redefined

Currently I am making Tetris for minecraft, and this is basicly an list of my progress, todo etc

What's planned:

Generating area's where you play
Selected blocks and non-selected blocks
Moving selected blocks to the left/right
Rotating selected blocks
Moving selected blocks instantly down
Moving selected blocks 1 down over time
Detecting the lines and give points based on that
Going levels up making the game more difficult over time
More blocks
Config file <-- The final thing planned before first release


Additional plans which can be changed:
Teleporting players to their best view on start
Keeping players on their spot if they try to leave the arena
Make game blocks unbreakable

Current visual effects
- Startup counter
- Death screen
- Planned next blocks being drawn

I think you might wanna use the scheduler instead of making your own thread.

 

So how would i work that out?
I was thinking of:

public GameTick() {
//blabla

//start an timer
}

the timer would do that method again, so it goes infinitly

Yeah, i think that would be the best

 

Code:

public class TetrisRunnable implements Runnable {

    @Override
    public void run(){

        //Stuff to do each time it's run

    }

}

In plugin class :

Code:

getServer().getScheduler().scheludeSyncRepeatingTask(this, new TetrisRunnable(), <delay before starting>, <delay between each run>);

The delays are in ticks I'm pretty sure not ms.

 

i like ticks ^^
i was always thinking why there wasn't a event onServerTick(ServerTickEvent event) or something similair
but that explains ^^

 

Very cool idea, also very complex to do right. Good luck, I hope it turns out great!

 

The only thing that bothers me atm is rotating the selections.
Too tired for that now, so i'll start on that tomorrow.

I thought i succeeded, but it seems it didn't rotate 90 degrees, but diagonally across. Thats why i thought i succeeded with that long block (4 long thing)


Okay, the plugin is ready for a beta release

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

@Streammz - couldn't you use shift-left/right clicks for moving blocks left/right? Rather than having to look all the time.

 

Of course, I can also do it with player_move event to just use WASD, but I rather use this for simplicity sake

 

It's just that when you're looking, you can't see what you're doing. What I mean is - check if player is sneaking (shift is being used). If sneaking while left clicking, move tetronimo left. If sneaking while right clicking, move tetronimo right. This eliminates unnecessary looking around.

 

I can additionally add this, though.
But i'll keep the up/down button as the only buttons

edit: one problem though, playerInteract only triggers left-click-air when the animation is finished

edit2: and somehow right-click-air doesn't work, i'm sure the code is right

 

You should also make it check for left-click-block/right-click-block.

 

Code:

            if (event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
                if (event.getPlayer().isSneaking()) {
                    game.getData().moveSelectedLeft();
                }
            }
            if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
                if (event.getPlayer().isSneaking()) {
                    game.getData().moveSelectedRight();
                }
            }

 

I can't wait until the release!

 

Consider 0.4 the release, I'm currently not planning on adding new stuff (just keeping it up-to-date)
Altho, I still have an part of 0.5 standing here, ready for release.. I'll get to that ASAP

edit:
Just saw that this is the devolpent treat, the plugin is already released
