Don't say I never gave you anything, Discedo.

[Attached to the post is... the custom communicator app Iji's been working on for a while. It's a tetris clone, yay!]

Made this yourself, did you? Definitely going to nab it. Might make a few improvements too if you don't mind.

ijianomaly March 20 2011, 17:14:42 UTC

Oh, sure. I made it open-source for a reason. Tell me if you find any bugs, okay?

that_bowtie March 20 2011, 17:19:52 UTC

Congratulations, you've distracted me for about an hour. Or several hours, it's hard to keep track when you're stacking colorful blocks with tiny buttons.

ijianomaly March 20 2011, 17:22:39 UTC

Heh. It should help with cabin fever at least a little bit, right?

[When mass chaos strikes, sometimes all the people who can't fight or heal or anything useful like that can do is sit and wait... she definitely had them in mind while making it.]

[Translation: Tetris, huh?]

[voice] ijianomaly March 20 2011, 18:39:59 UTC

Why not?

[Translation: It's so simple it hurts.]

It's not like these things have a ton of processing power.

Is this a game? I've never seen anything like it!

ijianomaly March 21 2011, 07:25:13 UTC

Well, yeah -- you've never played Tetris? [Surprised Iji is surprised.]

dustedsunlight March 23 2011, 05:16:21 UTC

No. I never had games like this back in my world! I'm still trying to figure it out, though. All the blocks keep stacking up to the top.

ijianomaly March 26 2011, 02:01:38 UTC

It's a video game, you can control the blocks with the arrow keys. The goal is to make horizontal lines with them. There should be a readme in there with the instructions.

Wow! How retro!

Voice ijianomaly March 21 2011, 13:22:59 UTC

Well, these things don't have a lot of power. Plus, a lot of people here have never played a video game before.

Voice dontkickit March 21 2011, 14:06:03 UTC

It's hard to imagine not having played a video game before... Oh, I guess it's obvious you're a gamer, huh? I am too!

Voice ijianomaly March 21 2011, 15:19:37 UTC

I guess a little bit? I don't have much time to play games.

voice dollofmarble March 21 2011, 15:19:55 UTC

... Do you have INSTRUCTIONS?

Voice ijianomaly March 21 2011, 16:26:38 UTC

There should be a readme once you open up the menu.

Voice dollofmarble March 21 2011, 16:32:26 UTC

Thank you for your ASSISTANCE.

*and a few minutes later...*

The goal is to form rows of blocks in the horizontal direction. Am I CORRECT?

Voice ijianomaly March 21 2011, 16:34:44 UTC

Yeah. You get more points if you do more at once, up to four, and that's called a tetris.
